I mean it’s hard to not hear the roar about Charlie Kirk since he has millions of followers across multiple platforms ANDDDD the assassination videos floating around social media shocking everyone. Of course it’s going to get more coverage. What happened to those kids is still horrific 😭
Obviously kids being killed is terrible too but what do you want people to be doing ? Rioting or something? We have been upset with school shootings before but unfortunately we get nowhere. Comparing these two issues makes no sense. They are the same issue, gun control. And in the US you are never going to get people to agree and actually change anything.
We honestly are just giving him sympathy because people are making fun of it which is not okay. I do not hear anyone making fun of the kids getting killed. All cases are terrible, all families deserve sympathy. No one should get made fun of, especially when you put aside beliefs they are all just humans who have families. Also if you look it up the kids, they are getting sympathy as well as Charlie. They are not getting as much, because again no one is making fun of it or mocking it.
It was a matter of when you saw the post the assassination happened first and then the school shooting happened in second so obviously they talked about what happened first and then slowly shifted to what happened afterwards. I’m sorry that you only saw the stuff about the assassination, but it wasn’t only that.
No, children being shot in the head are not being reported nearly as much, less people know about the shootings that have happened this week (at least 3) because there’s blanket coverage for a shit man. People are actually sobbing for him, he didn’t deserve to die but people are purposely ignoring that he was a terrible person.
Look up on tiktok I have seen a lot of sympathy for them maybe it is not on your feed but it’s on mine. Again maybe not as much attention but he was famous. Also he was not racist he had many friends of other colors and talked very respectful when they came up to the mic. He also spoke the lord, loved his family, and wanted to see the best for America that is not a terrible person.
Post the whole speech!!! He did not say gun deaths are “OK” or that they didn’t matter when they happen. “ let’s be very clear that you are not going to get gun deaths to zero, it will not happen. You can significantly reduce them … we should have an honest and clear reductionist view of gun violence, but we should not have a utopian one”
MLK and Kirk were both public speakers who used their voice for their beliefs. They both got assassinated for their opinions and became what people were talking about on news and other platforms. The only difference is what they believed in, the platforms available back then compared to now. The main point is that they got assassinated for talking about their beliefs and became the talking point in news, radio, and now on social media for Kirk.
Yes I see it on the media too! that protest in London had between 110,000-150,000 people chanting Charlie’s name. There were protests in Japan, South Korea, Australia all to condone his murder. Citizens of New Zealand performing the Hakka for his family. If you are reading this but haven’t heard of these protest please go look it up. I think there’s a blindness about what is happening across the world
Disrespectful but Charlie made his whole platform out of being disrespectful? I’ll take it a step further, he made his platform out of being a terrible human being. He openly admitted that the civil rights bills were a mistake as he told that to young black children. He admitted that he was ok with having shootings, because that’s just the price that we have to pay for the Second Amendment, Right? Totally not sick ideology at all.
Look at the context with what he said. He said the civil rights bill was a mistake because it was so long, and it should have been written differently, that the outcome of the civil rights act of 1964 resulted unintentionally in MORE racism where it didn’t exist previously. He loved the intention of the act but disliked it because it didn’t accomplish what it was meant to do.
To keep the second amendment. Sorry but that is our right to have. Also people are still going to kill with other things just like Iryna Zaruska he is a criminal and used a knife most likely because he isn’t allowed to have a firearm. Also we have heard of criminals getting guns illegally. That is taking the guns away from law abiding citizens and making us vulnerable when criminals access them illegally or use other things. We need self defense.
And that part of the quote is fucking common sense. No one is expecting it to drop to zero, but his fuck face was okay with keeping things the way they are now instead of trying to fix the fucking problem. Gun control would lower the rates exponentially, and maybe we wouldn’t have a school shooting every day
He literally said “idk” to the fact that gun control helps. He refuses to look at the facts and is feeding into the narrative that nothing can be done to fix it. He was a shit person who believed that gun violence has no actual solution and now he’s dead because of it. Won’t mourn a dumbass piece of shit.
Yea, some sources say 49% of gun owners have used them to stop others from shooting, and other sources say it’s less than 1.9%. I’m not sure where that boundary lies, but I know that stronger gun laws keeps people who shouldn’t have guns from having guns. Stricter legislation is key.
Exactly, the issue at hand is not the guns themselves, it’s mental health and the sick individuals who feel the need to harm others, as a society we are failing mentally ill citizens. If there’s something that needs to change THAT is it. And there’s a billion factors contributing to mental illness today, especially social media.
The context in which he says it and how he says it is not ok. Charlie multiple times has said that it was wrong and has not explained why. But if I’m seeing this wrong, I’d like to see a link of him explaining what he thinks is bad about it. But it doesn’t help his case that he has been on air multiple times just being flat out racist. “Oh boy, I hope this black pilot is qualified”
I agree, mental health is a major part of the problem. It’s far too easy to get guns in many states in America. But again, it’s to be said that Charlie projected that violence into the world. Saying things like having shootings is the price we pay for the second amendment is wrong. And I am further upset by the fact that none of this respect was shown for Melissa Hortman and her family.
No one does, but my point being is that Charlie Kirk’s death is blown so far out of proportion. Trump even said that it would be a waste of time to call Tim Waltz about the death. A state legislators violent death was laughed at and pushed down, but a political commentator gets the flags at half mast :/
See this is wrong with society no one is saying that the lives lost of children is worth less than Charlie Kirk death, people don’t understand is that gun control has gotten out of hand , that all innocent lives matter Kirk’s and the children, it’s the governments fault at hand and people wanna be mad at each other when they should be mad at the government smh
It’s not what you’re saying is the problem, it’s what you’re NOT saying. I’m simply arguing that the publication of his death is blown out of proportion, because of who he was and who liked him. The publication of school shootings is basically nonexistent, and it pisses me off that this one death is bringing so much hate.
I thinks that’s valid, I can agree with that, both can be horrible events, and school shootings SHOULD get more coverage. Like it’s been a tragic week all around and I hate for people to think that no one cares about those children. My heart goes out to them and their poor families
The way me and all my leftist and transgender friends all have guns and went thru hunter safety. And none of us are celebrating death. It just proves our point and our beliefs about better gun safety and gun control. To shoot a human you need to have some sort of mental health or behavioral issues. This person shouldn’t have had access to firearms nor weapons of any sort. Bow hunting season just opened. I don’t think he should have a bow either. Not just guns.
