Charlie Kirk is in critical condition. I don't know if he's going to make it.

Murica. Lots of thoughts and prayers spreading right now on his IG.

Looks like it hit the jugular?

RevYouUp 09-10-2025 12:33 PM

He was like a fruit gusher in the video I watched. No way he’ll survive that

MarkyMark 09-10-2025 12:36 PM

Yeah dude was probably dead by the time he fell out of his chair, just no one has confirmed it yet.

Gumby 09-10-2025 01:04 PM

Holy shit! Pretty much impossible to survive a shot like that...

Charlie Kirk is in critical condition. I don't know if he's going to make it.

I don't think they actually have the shooter?

from the AP:

The suspected shooter has not been arrested, Orem, Utah, Mayor David Young said. A person who was taken into custody by law enforcement at the university where Kirk was speaking was not the suspect, according to a person familiar with the investigation who was not authorized to speak publicly.

Don't have to like what he did for a living but at the end of it all:

His 2 children are going to ask "where is Dad and why isn't he coming home?"

The wave of potential mental illness that will sweep over the crowd of people who watched something that violent and grotesque. That shit burns into your brain and not everyone will casually go about their day. It could take a long time for some of those people to recover.

This is what happens when the political spectrum gets reduced to political tribalism.

murd0c 09-10-2025 01:33 PM

Right when I saw the close up video after it happened I knew it was an instant death. No one will survive a shot to the neck like that. I might not agree with everything he says but no one deserves to die for having a different opinion of things.

Traum 09-10-2025 01:41 PM

Holy shxt is right...

On the other hand, news sites are still saying police are out looking for the suspect, so the balding old guy in the first post's video may not be the attacker after all.

Some are saying his family was at the event.

No idea how that isn't an instant kill

It for sure was but they wanted to take him away first and then wait to release it at the proper time.

I feel like this school shooting in Colorado that critically injured 3 kids today should be a bigger deal in the news than this douchebag

But no. Fuck kids I guess.

whitev70r 09-10-2025 03:38 PM

^ nowadays, shootings in school are so common that it gets mentioned on a side bar. State of America.

Kirk did a lot of work to help make sure this is the case

Badhobz 09-10-2025 07:34 PM

I don’t know who he is/was nor do i really care. If you advocate 2nd amendment shit and you got taken out by some nut job with a gun, THATS KARMA BABY !!!

The irony of it all is even better as he said gun deaths were a necessary side effect of gun rights when asked about school shootings and he was shot at a school and his event was called "Prove Me Wrong" and he was sitting under that sign when it happened.

He sorta lost the gun debate getting shot at a school sitting under a sign that challenged people to prove he was wrong.

Presumably he's not a hypocrite so he must have died believing that the gunman was just exercising his 2nd amendment rights that he fought so hard for and that his death was just proving the point. He'd probably be really, really mad if this was the thing that cause Republicans to finally want to do something about gun violence cause his death would then be in vain. At least his last few words were transphobic and racist so he was consistent in the end about his beliefs.

underscore 09-10-2025 08:47 PM

In his own words:

"I think it's worth it. I think it's worth it to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights."

So am I the only one who doesn't know who this guy is? I can't keep track of all the right-wing grifters this decade is pumping out. Sounds like he's more famous for getting shot than anything else.

Does this really deserve it's own thread? and a duplicate discussion on the Trump thread?

p.s that's a hard 31.

whitev70r 09-10-2025 09:05 PM

I'm going to guess the killer is military ... not easy to be so accurate from 200 yrds away (which was reported in the news), that's the length of 2 football fields.

Stephen Miller, age 40, would like a word about looking rough

It's remarkable how being a vile human being causes one to age 50% faster than a normal person.

re: Kirk - until today I didn't realise how vile a person he was and how big his reach was. I knew he was a shit stain but I didn't know the depths of his depravity whether it was the racism, the misogyny, the transphobia, the homophobia etc. The man didn't leave any stone unturned when it came to creating hate.

RevYouUp 09-10-2025 09:23 PM

lol you seem to have so much hate and emotion built in you supa, definitely need some therapy. Someone you don’t know personally shouldn’t affect you that much.

TBH Charlie’s reels show up on my feeds sometimes, he always debated and argued with logic and never screamed, swore and yelled like the opposition. I don’t think he ever even used curse words. I always just found his shit funny and never took it seriously, you shouldn't either. He was more of a social media influencer if anything. You got some real hate talking shit about him when the guy just died in front of the whole world with his video forever being posted on then internet for his kids to see in the future. Crazy thing is he’s probably half your age. Be a real man you already won, the guy is dead

ssjGoku69 09-11-2025 12:39 AM

I've never heard of this guy before today, but I found this clip of him in reddit comments when trying to look for the uncensored shooting video.
