    People need to stop celebrating the shooter! I’m absolutely disgusted and ashamed by their actions. Charlie Kirk was doing nothing but sitting there giving a speech. This was in the middle of the day, there were clear sky’s and the sun was shining directly on Charlie, as if he was chosen to deliver an important message. Than the shooter shot at him. I’ll say it as it is, nothing was between Charlie and the shooter that warranted this.

    So how could the shooter miss the shot at Charlie Kirk’s large ass head and hit him in neck instead! Embarrassing, do better on the next fascist.

      If it makes you feel any better a shot to the throat probably means he had time to realize what was happening to him before he died, possibly long enough to realize the poetry of the situation. That realization was also likely accompanied by unimaginable pain. A shot to the head would have been instant and essentially painless.

      One could also complain about the fascists “level”. The shooter could have gone for a higher ranking fascist to gain more points/credibility.

        Indeed, it’s a target rich environment. They just need to get out more enjoy the nice weather.

      I dunno, seemed pretty grim and gory to me? Head explosion wouldn’t make much of a difference outside of memeworthyness. Fountain of blood was fully acceptable. Sniped an artery.
