You’re not wrong; this is a tough one to comment sensibly on.

The crowd thing, it’s Utah; I would anticipate a crowd at an Utah university for something like this being full of homeschooled kids who haven’t broken away from parroting their parents’ views yet. Kirk is probably a hero in many of those households.

I was thinking the same thing about the angle. The tent would’ve theoretically meant the shooter would’ve had to be at a similar level/grade to make that shot.

I was only able to find censored versions of the video, but it sounds like he was hit in the neck. It will be a genuine miracle if he survives.

You know what’s sort of depressingly funny? The country would be better off if he were jailed for speech inciting violence. Not this.

I seriously think this is the reason why everyone got so mean post-Covid. They realized it can always get worse; there is no rock bottom. Everyone was forced to accept that things can always suck WAY more tomorrow than they do today, and they/we can’t handle knowing that.

It broke a social contract.
