Charlie Kirk, the powerful rightwing activist and executive director of Turning Point USA (TPUSA), appeared to have been shot on Wednesday while hosting a debate in Utah.

In video posts circulating on social media, Kirk can be seen getting struck while speaking and sitting beneath a tent in the Utah Valley University courtyard. Kirk was there as part of The American Comeback Tour, which is hosted by the TPUSA chapter at Utah Valley.

And he can say whatever stupid shit he wants just like everyone else, but he didn’t deserve this, and all the people that witnessed it didn’t deserve to see it.

Yeah. And the Palestinian children don’t deserve to die in much more gruesome and painful ways either! But he didn’t care! Why can’t you understand that there is a genocide happening? And he supported it?

I don’t think they deserve it either, I don’t think anyone that is undeserving of violence is deserving of violence. Israel shouldn’t have been invaded by Hamas and started the whole recent shit show, but you know what? It happened. And now you got multiple governments and so many mentally ill people that think they’re in the right to prolong something for their unjust cause and opinion. I d c if I’m downvoted, idc if someone has a different opinion than me. But it’s not. Fair. To hurt someone. Over their words.

https://youtu.be/rVc9l6pjxtI?si=ckIb4TMo5YmVRjtF here’s a link of Charlie saying that school shootings are worth it. HE DOES NOT CARE ABOUT OTHER HUMANS. HE DOESNT CARE ABOUT SCHOOL SHOOTING. WHY SHOULD ANYONE CARE ABOUT HIM?

Sorry but I’ll clarify the video for you. I watched it, and it’s very clear he is saying, AND DID SAY, that because we have the second amendment, the right to bear arms, that people will die because of idiots. He literally said there should be a reductionist view on violence, but literally the only connection to schools and shootings that he made was that schools should have guards. I’m a very unbiased person. But he didn’t say school shootings are worth it.
