Yeah I'm not sure he's dead yet, but the shot was pretty on point.

[–] Catoblepas@piefed.blahaj.zone 90 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I looked around after hearing about it and several sources confirmed his death not long ago.

To steal a quote from that Scottish granny commenting on Thatcher’s death: they ought to put a string of garlic around his neck and a stake in his heart to make sure he doesn’t come back.

Reuters reporting his death now. Suspect not yet apprehended.

https://www.reuters.com/world/us/conservative-influencer-charlie-kirk-shot-dead-utah-university-event-2025-09-10/

Given the footage, it would be a miracle if he survived - that's a severe amount of blood loss within seconds.

It appears he was not loved by all.

Whelp, not enough prayers. Can't be helped.

Wherever the shooter is I pray he is safe and well.

It looked like a shot right in the jugular. Even if EMT's were sitting right next to him, it's incredibly unlikely to survive that.

He didnt. Staged, crisis actor.

Took a nap before he died, woke up to find out he got blasted. Quite the surprise!

Has anyone (in Utah) asked: What was he wearing when this happened to him????????

[–] CIA_chatbot@lemmy.world 84 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I mean he was asking for it

[–] Neverclear@lemmy.dbzer0.com 40 points 2 months ago (2 children)

The tent over his head actually had the text: "Prove Me Wrong"

[–] ryan213@lemmy.ca 60 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Exposing his neck just like that?! That's just asking for trouble.

Prayers Up for the big man. He died debating and he shall be rewarded by spending eternity in Debate Valhalla, rising to Debate every day for eternity.

"Do you know how many mass shooters there have been in America over the last 10 years?" one audience member asked Kirk.

"Counting or not counting gang violence," he replied before being cut off by the gunshot.

What a legend

He shall first debate Plato, that'll make him miserable right quick and will go on for a millennium. What is a chair?

You know what would do this justice? We all gaslight the GOP into saying this is fake news. That it's AI. That he's completely fine but in a bunker somewhere for his safety.

In fact...this is what's true.

No way that a shot would show this much blood, especially against a white hetero man. This has woke AI written all over it.

People are saying that the crowd was full of crisis actors

You'll say holy fuck if you see the front row video. I'll only warn you once.

[–] bizarroland@lemmy.world 33 points 2 months ago (6 children)

I was saying holy fuck because this was how I found out and I'll skip watching the video because I've seen enough live leak from like 2008 to 2016 to satisfy any grotesque need for me to see somebody getting murdered for the rest of my life.

[–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 15 points 2 months ago

It was pretty mild compared to the shit you might've seen on LiveLeak tbh.

I remember seeing a video called "unnecessarily slow beheading" there. After that, uh, seeing a stranger get shot just seems so mundane. It's fucked.

Charlie Kirk’s shooting was an inside job by Trump to take focus off Epstein files!!

See, I said that sarcastically but with the republicans… this is actually quite likely. So who knows. lol.

Man, I love good news! Bahahahahahahaha!

And the funny thing is, on yt shorts, I had an AD for turning point with him in it. I reported it for being filled with Nazi lovers. Google must've taken that report seriously.

Every time I’ve checked my phone for about a year I’ve been disappointed not to see today’s headline
