Comment on Why the video of Charlie Kirk being shot was kept on social media platforms

  Which is odd you know? I thought “meh I’ve seen some sick shit” but nope. One minute he’s a racist accelerationist bigot and the next moment he still is but his brain is clearly whack and blood is rushing down his neck.

  Movies and videogames don’t come remotely close to representing it accurately

    I’ve even see other videos of people getting killed before, and they were not this bad. Not often; I’m not someone who generally seeks that stuff out. Maybe it’s because of the bright lighting, high clarity, and comparatively high resolution of this one, combined with a gunshot wound that had very gory and visible results.

      I think what gets people about this one is the large amount of blood that comes from severing a major artery like that and it funneling out there such a focused point.

        Kirk’s killer seems to have used some large calibre weapon which probably made it look so particularly brutal and bloody.

      For me it’s mostly how the body reacts to the bullet, the hands going up a little Ina reflex, but you can see he’s already lost control of his body. That part is always what gets me

    So you believe that people should get murdered for expressing their opinions, got it.

      You can disagree with political violence and also not be upset that he’s dead.

      Conflating the two is disingenuous

      Kirk also helped organized and bussed people to the Capitol. It’s not just opinions.

      But also, yes, if your opinion is certain people should cease to exist simply because they’re not white, I will think that person themselves should cease to exist in turn.
