We might not live in the best timeline, but we sure live in the funniest one.
(no idea if it’s satire, but I appreciate the dedication to the bit, especially when he started stealing merch right after) Image
I love that he exhorts everyone to “Go to church on Sunday,” and “Read the Book of Mormon,” but immediately turns around and steals the now extremely collectible merch. Gotta love those MAGA Christian Values.
Bro is going to jail for tampering with a crime scene lol
This is the dumbest fucking timeline, but the silver lining is that if you’ve got a really dark sense of humor, there are a lot of moments that are deeply hilarious
It feels good to open the news and laugh for once. Every time it’s “the world is getting worse” but for ONCE it’s “Someone who was making the world worse got what was coming to them”
PROVE ME WRONG, LIBTARDS 🤪
Marksman:
well, okay, if you insist
Jesus will protect you
Dude is a comedic genius
His apology video included the line “I loved Charlie Kirk, he taught me things about Jesus that I didn’t even know myself”
It’s so fucking funny
Did you know Jesus’s favorite screw is torx? Sure he loves him a Canadian square, #2 of all time, but he just really loves the torx for its capabilities. He’d know being an omniscient carpenter.
Grifters grifting off of a grifters death is grifting 101.
Grifting off grifters is a double negative so all good.
This is like… how you write the snivelling, untrustworthy, back stabbing ‘local guide’ archetype in a movie, with zero subtlety.
Just 110% opportunist.
Fucking wild, man.
Just 110% opportunist
Yeah, America has basically become (and, to an extent, has ALWAYS been) a factory for making endless opportunists, swindlers, and snake oil salesmen
It’s a community that rewards and even glorifies grifters. Of course there’s going to be people like that.
E.B. Farnum from Deadwood (the HBO show, anyway. Who knows what he was like in real life?)
I read up on all the real life characters when I finished the show. Apparently the show did him kinda dirty, he was a bit of an intellectual in real life.
While everyone else was running away, this man was brave enough to run in (and steal the merch).
It's what Kirk would have wanted
Truly the hero we deserve 🫡
You’re right, definitely a Chilean move. 😅
My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined that this wasn’t the elaborate Harlem Shake drop with a crowd celebrating CKs death that I was expecting.
Satire is dead
Satire is alive and well, selling blood stained merch on the grey web at exorbitant prices.
What a melt, someone was just shot in the neck and this is your reaction, we’re is his sense of shame or even his sense of fear and self preservation, it’s kinda of psychopathic
It is entirely psychopathic. But it is also the complete textbook incarnation of the predatory capitalism which Tinyface liked to claim himself a supporter of.
I don’t think capitalism is forcibly stealing people’s private property and just acting like an idiot for clout and fame, I think stuff like that happens in countries of all economic models throughout history
Regardless I agree it’s probably psychopathy to a degree
That all seems so american to me. In my lifetime i have seen one person fimling himself talking to a camera for a video. It was in a supermarket and when i walked into the isle awkwardly that he was in, he put his phone away.
That’s true in America too, I don’t really encounter people filming themselves like this. It’s just that there are a looooot of us, which means there are more weirdos as well.
Yeah admit you don’t see it most, only time I see people recording in public is with a tripod and that they are street performers
His sense of shame was hiding behind a misplaced apostrophe.
I mean, everyone’s paying all their attention to the shooting, nobody’s going to worry about the merch until later. Pretty ideal situation for a thief.
This feels exactly like a Conner O’Malley character and that’s horrifying.
Well, with the kind of scum listening to people like Kirk, this should net be surprising, should it?
Why didn’t the shooter save us and shoot this man too?

Everyone running for their lives like cowards. He however sees the opportunity, steals the merch and asks for subscribers. A true American patriot.

This is about as libertarian as it gets. Free market above all else.

I’ve been saying that the murders of the health care CEO and Charlie Kirk are simply normal Free Market corrections at work, and here is more evidence.

Someday he’ll make an unhinged post on LinkedIn about seizing opportunity in the face of adversity and we’ll be waiting at !linkedinlunatics@sh.itjust.works

American dream. He is a business owner.

So what does one do with such items? Is there a collector’s market for merch sold on the grounds upon whence le charley kirke died like he despicably preached for others not himself?
“It’s the tee-shirts and caps from where there was a shooting! Somewhere in 'Murica!”
rustyfish@piefed.world 1 day ago
I think yes. I am pretty sure there is a market for exactly what you just described. I mean, would you be surprised if some right wingnut buys a kirk shirt and places it on his trumpian altar? It doesn't even have to be a cultist. Captain tiny face died in a bombastic way. The morbidity of it could attract collectors.

A media personality died early in a tour, yeah there’ll be merch about it
