    Why do you think political violence is good? Isn’t it a sign of a failing state?

      One could say that the state was failing pretty hard during the french revolution as well

        Definitely but the US current situation and struggle is not at all like French Revolution. “The aristocrats”(aka the rich) are the ones who lead this, any change won’t be for the good of the people, just money changing hands. Looks more like the fall of Roman Republic to me with common people suffering and the state becoming more authoritarian.

      We passed “failing state” quite some time ago.

  Yeah I’m not sure he’s dead yet, but the shot was pretty on point.

    I looked around after hearing about it and several sources confirmed his death not long ago.

    To steal a quote from that Scottish granny commenting on Thatcher’s death: they ought to put a string of garlic around his neck and a stake in his heart to make sure he doesn’t come back.

      Has someone checked on Pitt the Elder to make sure he’s still buried?

    Reuters reporting his death now. Suspect not yet apprehended.

    Given the footage, it would be a miracle if he survived - that’s a severe amount of blood loss within seconds.

      It appears he was not love by all.

        Whelp, not enough prayers. Can’t be helped.

      Wherever the shooter is I pray he is safe and well.

        There was no shooter. The universe decided to throw a bullet at Charlie Kirk.

    He’s dead

    It looked like a shot right in the jugular. Even if EMT’s were sitting right next to him, it’s incredibly unlikely to survive that.

      Judging by the weird way his head lolled back I’m pretty sure it severed his spine too. Double whammy. Dude was dead before he knew what hit him.

        Well…that’s a pity.

        His arms went into something of a fencing response too. Body only does that when you are fucked in the nervous system. Usually for TBIs though so not sure if that’s how it works for spinal dmg.

      More likely the carotid artery since it sprayed.

    Saw the video, pretty sure he is fucked

    It’s been confirmed within the last hour.

• outhouseperilous@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

  He didnt. Staged, crisis actor.

• Snowpix@lemmy.ca ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

  Took a nap before he died, woke up to find out he got blasted. Quite the surprise!

  I can’t believe it was this comment how I found out.
