Man, I haven’t thought about Heaven 17 in decades. My favorite lyric of theirs was “brothers, sisters, we don’t need that fascist groove thing”. I remember liking them in the '80s but thinking that their political stance was pretty over the top and that things weren’t really that bad in the world. How wrong I was.
Fun fact: the band took their name from a fictional group that was referenced in A Clockwork Orange.

Golden Earring - Twilight Zone for the lyrics
“Where am I to go now that I’ve gone too far? Soon, you will come to know when the bullet hits the bone”
Utah Saints - Something Good, for the hilarious, to me, coincidence between the song title, the band name and the location of the event
*NSYNC - Bye Bye Bye, need I say more

Filter - Hey Man, Nice Shot… how could I forget. Still have the CD somewhere, the singer is the brother of the T-1000.

This is genuinely the first time in a long time that the news has brought me genuine joy. I don’t give a fuck, but I am angry at him and people like him for being so shitty that it makes me feel joy at their deaths. This is on you bitch.

Have you tried therapy? Enjoying murder is horrific

Yeah, murder is horrific. I don’t enjoy the fact that he was murdered; I feel joy at the fact that he can no longer spread his toxic filth anymore.

His last words
He was asked how many shooters were trans in the last 10 years and replied “Too many” He was corrected, the number is 5. He was then asked how many shootings happened in these years (there were 5700) He asked back: “Counting or not counting gang violence?” and got shot
WoodScientist@lemmy.world 7 months ago
He was engaging in hate-mongering right until the end. Just like the Nazi propagandists of the WW2 era, he was spreading a message of a demonized minority group being responsible for countless crimes and social ills. He ran literally the exact same playbook against trans people as the Nazis did against Jews.
I have no more sympathy for him than the Nazi propagandists we hanged at Nuremberg. They’re guilty of the exact same crimes against humanity.

Does anyone have video of this? (This conversation, not the shooty part) All the news media are quoting this while referring to a video but not showing it.
HootinNHollerin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 months ago
I watched the close up video and didn’t find it too traumatic especially given all what has been happening in gaza and Ukraine

“Gang violence” = racist dog whistle. The assassin couldn’t have picked a more perfect time to fire. 😂
Cruel@programming.dev 7 months ago
I mean, most gang activity comes from young black men, but that does not mean it’s racist to talk about it. I think talking about whether to include or exclude “gang violence” from a conversation about mass shootings is appropriate and not offensive in the slightest.

I always said “You can tell when Charlie Kirk is arguing in bad faith by when his lips are moving and sounds are coming out.”

jimmux@programming.dev 7 months ago
I would actually like to know what he was leading to with that question. Is the implication that gangs have an overrepresentation of trans people? Or that gang violence doesn’t count for some reason?
I guess we’ll never know.
ryedaft@sh.itjust.works 7 months ago
He was obviously arguing that skin colour minorities were doing any shooting that trans Americans weren’t. Because his goal in life was to make people feel like they belonged - by vilifying out groups. And then monetize that shit.
slaacaa@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Just some good old racism
HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 7 months ago
our gangs of forcefemme communists are very trans and very violent, yes
WoodScientist@lemmy.world 7 months ago
It was more anti-trans hate mongering. 2 or 3 trans shooters out of 5700 is nothing. If you can whittle down the number of “mass shootings” to just a handful of incidents, can make it seem like trans people are vastly over-represented among school shooters.
BlameTheAntifa@lemmy.world 7 months ago
It’s a deflection technique. The intention was to not answer or address the question at all, but to shift to another topic he could more easily use to manipulate his audience. If you’ve ever watched him “debate” he was a master of deflection.
ceenote@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Using one minority as a scapegoat for gun violence wasn’t working, so he was switching to a different minority.
chatokun@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 months ago
As others mentioned, “gang violence” is generally a euphemism for non white, especially poor, people. I used to listen to Knowledge Fight(stopped after election not because of the boys, but didn’t want to hear Jones gloat) and during several shootings that involved black victims Jones dismissed it as gang violence.
One case I recall was a shooting in a school in GA that he was spinning some other way, until he found out the school was primarily black and the victim (who survived iirc) was black. He then just stated the kid was in a gang with no proof and dismissed the story.
bigfondue@lemmy.world 7 months ago
It’s a common talking point among the right that there aren’t really that many mass shootings in America if you exclude gang violence. Y’know, which is done by and only effects those people
Deme@sopuli.xyz 7 months ago
Pointing out that gangs do a lot of violence is an attempt to shift blame onto the demographic groups which are overrepresented in gangs due to socioeconomic reasons (systemic racism).
abir_v@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Given who he was, probably the latter as a to-him socially acceptable racist dog whistle.

This will directly lead to things getting worse. The right will be mobilized by the martyr, is my fear.

Yeah we merged onto the highway to hell in November… Things were always going to get worse. It’s nice to have the occasional shining moment though.

Maybe it wasn't murder. Maybe it was just an accident. There were probably lots of guns on campus, after all open carry is legal on campus' in UT, as I understand. Let's not prejudge the guy, he deserved a fair trial.
Rothe@piefed.social 7 months ago
The whole concept of having that fascist there and treating his appearance as some sort of festive event, on a university of all places, is just so bizarre to me. And then this "open carry campus" nonsense.
It sounds like UT is just a fascist breeding ground.

Fight fire with fire. Apparently it’s the only thing conservatives will pay attention to
So many of them are convinced all gun violence is coming from the left, and at this point I’m ready to just let them have their delusions. What are they going to do about it? Implement gun control? Please do
