      They seem perfectly fine stunting on Charlie Kirk.

      I guess some countries still have freedom.

    He wouldn’t have wanted this!

    “I think empathy is a made-up, New Age term that does a lot of damage” - Charlie Kirk

    Which has me really conflicted. It’s a really awful fashy thing to do, buuut it also makes a mockery of his memory…

    May he rot in piss.

    PS: To any US officials reading this, don’t worry, I have no intention of going anywhere near your shitty hell hole of a country

    Good thing my ancestors arrived on the Mayflower.

    I’d like y’all to take a moment of silence.

    Pause to reflect on all the lives saved by the elimination of this source of radicalization from our youth.

    A stronger argument for common sense gun laws could hardly be made than the video of blood and brains gushing out the side of his head.

      The gun was an old Mauser 30.06 bolt action, about the last thing a gun ban would restrict.

          Was I wrong? I read Mauser somewhere in the intial reports. In any case, 30.06 is a fucking cannon of a shell, whatever rifle it comes out of. :)

    Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

    Oh, someone forgot to unfurl the rest of the amendment’s parchment with Sharpie writing, apparently:

    …but the President can make any decree respecting the establishment of religion, prohibiting the exercise of other religions, or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, for any reason the Government finds convenient.

    No better way to honour someone who, as much as I dislike him, consistently argued government should not restrict speech and different opinions, no matter how repugnant.
