Oh hey, someone shot Charlie Kirk. You know, the Turning Points USA guy. Huh.

Hope he dies

Conservative activist Charlie Kirk killed in Utah

Charlie Kirk shooting. Utah Valley University. Charlie Kirk Turning Point USA event in Orem, Utah. Read the latest.

Oh hey, Utah (where the prick got shot) passed an open-carry law in May of this year. Good work, guys.

Seriously, this event is like... Consequences: The Happening.

Birds, home, roosting, et cetera.

Anyway, I'll just reiterate what I said when that healthcare CEO got capped;

In the absence of actual justice, people will cheer for revenge. And I don't blame them one bit.

Hey, check it out, from the shithead's own mouth; "I think it's worth 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. That is a prudent deal. It is rational."

Anyway, as far as actual predictions go, I suspect this will be worked into Trump's "ban trans folk from owning guns" push regardless of who ends up actually being accused of the deed.

Other than that, probably some panic from the Limbaugh knockoffs and a general increase in the temperature... But when the president is posting memes about invading cities, it's hard to imagine this turning into any kind of a trigger event.

Hey, he died. How 'bout that.

Edit: Aw, it's actually Crowder. Oh well.

@CactuarJoe I think that's Steven Crowder, a different right wing shithead.

All things being equal, I guess I'm a little disappointed that Charlie Kirk got the competent assassin and not Trump.

I mean, I'll *take* it, but

Apparently they got the guy and he's just some 4chan troll. Eh, whatever.

Mostly just means, outside of maybe someone trying *very hard* to spin this shit like a gyroscope, this is probably a one-week-then-forgotten story.

Poor Charlie probably won't be getting that statue, I suppose.

@CactuarJoe Time to treat it like a school shooting and never speak of it again!
