The reaction to charlie kirk compared to mass shooting victims is what happens when we worship celebrities too much. We care so much about them simply because of their status that we always forget that everyday peoples lives are just as complicated

I have the same reaction to this as I do to mass shootings. It's fucking abhorrent, terrifying for the state of our country, and it's a situation where you should respect the victims and their families regardless of what you may have thought of what they've done in life.

I think the real reason this is getting sooo much attention is because look how many people witnessed it and how many cameras were out already filming. It’s not that it’s more devastating but because it by default has a large number of eyes on it to begin with. If he had been killed like in a home invasion in his sleep for example, you’d hear about it but I don’t think to this degree whatsoever. It’s the nature of it being so public to begin with
