Doesn’t look good!!

Edit: Saw a closeup, he’s 💯 dead. Jugular shot and it gushes like the Cool-Aid man shattered.

Edit 2: Fox is apparently reporting that he’s admitted to the hospital, maybe he’s a snowball that survived hell?

Edit 3: Mixed reporting on if the shooter has been arrested or not. A video showed an old bald white dude in custody.

Edit 4: Trump just had to be the one to announce it… He’s dead. Apparently the old white dude was not the shooter. You can see from the distant video that people did not react to a close shooter, it was at distance.

    I don’t want people to die. My ideal solution would be disallowing someone to be able to do what Charlie Kirk and his fatal-misinformation-propagating-ilk do in the first place. I see something like this happening as just yet another consequence of our deeply sick society.

    But Charlie Kirk undeniably caused many deaths by spreading the kinds of toxic misinformation he did. And it certainly does hurt me deep in my core to watch people like him degrade and damage society without repercussions. Every day I mourn for the humanity that could be, if the Charlie Kirks of the world were not permitted to drag us all down. So hearing that he got blasted… some part of me does feel some degree of… not happiness or satisfaction, but more like… relief. Relief that someone that hurts us all, that makes countless lives measurably worse and ends other lives, was met with proportionate retaliation.
