    I never said I was shedding any tears for this guy.

    I will shed tears if innocent people are going to be hurt as an excuse for retribution or restoring law and order. And I do think it’s extremely fucked up his kids where apparently there to witness this.

    This dude fucking sucked, but (allegedly) vigilante assassinations are a really dumb thing to cheer as somehow benefiting anyone.

    The entire basis of the new right movement is a sense of shared victimhood. Now they have a martyr.

    If this had been a random angry guy firing a gun from the crowd, I wouldn’t really think twice about it. But honestly, I think a civilian sharpshooter from a building getting Charlie Kirk in the neck with a single shot from 200 yards away is suspicious as fuck.

    Hopefully this is what you seem to believe it is, but honestly, this seems most likely to benefit Trump more than anyone else.
