Except for the last one, these were all stolen from a post on bluesky, but I don't feel comfortable providing the source-tweet in case there's any backlash or harassment by fascists or civility-warrior centrists who ultimately serve fascists with their greater hostility towards Leftists and progressives than they have towards said fascists.
My condolences to political snake, Gavin Newsom, for the loss of his dear friend and kindred spirit.

So where's his grave gonna be? I need to take a shit.

Man is a paid puppet and gets views on purposely lying and the reaction from it. Don’t give him the views and he’ll be irrelevant

Assuming this is true (it isn't), how many whites go prowling to assault black people? And while I'm at it, shall I get into the history of the slave trade, Jim Crow, the Civil Rights movement, or has my point been made? Maybe prejudice towards white people in black communities isn't entirely unwarranted. Just sayin'.

BlueSky is actually pretty good about deleting the accounts of right wing harassers. Just so you know. 💜
meganical
I find it funny that I was literally talking about this annoying POS with a gamer friend the day before this happened. Welp, glad we had that conversation because it won’t be relevant soon. It was like Christmas came early when I texted him yesterday that he’d never believe who just got shot
DrSchlepenstein
It's so nice of Kirk to add another gender neutral bathroom to what ever cemetery he's buried in.
ChloePrice
If you don't show others basic humanity, you don't deserve any yourself, simple as. He, and everyone else like him, are better off dead.
16KTS
He’s always been a piece of shit.
activeracer28
Talk shit, get shot.
G0MeatCube
You can say what you want in America. You shouldn't get shot over it. Wtf is wrong with the lot of ya.
coffeeandprozac
The way he died was karmic justice, and I'm not going to pretend otherwise. Far too many people who deserve far better get zero recognition for their suffering and the injustices they continue to face, many of which were directly due to his rhetoric. The few who are recognized get too little respect, and their justice is often delayed or denied. Fuck this twat and the cunt that birthed him. May he rot in hell.
Bojovnik84
Fuck KKKirk.

The more time that passes the gladder I am this fucker is dead.
xj4low
His existence did not make the world better.
DarkRedCape
It’s so so much sweeter that he died by a gun too. He really did love that 2nd amendment.
INeedMoreGifMeMoreJustOneMore
For some reason I've been trying to have a ... Somewhat aggressive, I'll admit, conversation with a person that didn't like me saying that nothing of value was lost. This guy actually believes that Kirk was trying to have an honest and open conversation 'with the left'. I sent him some of these type of screenshots and asked him to explain how these viewpoints are defensible.
HamSlamwich
I live in Utah and I take back everything bad I've said about Utah County. And I've said sooooo much bad shit about that place.

Someone posted this in a group I'm in. I felt a little bad about laughing at it but suddenly I don't feel so bad.

CrimsonPermanentAssurance
That he died deflecting a question with bigotry was very on-brand for him
stoots24
I just imagine the sniper sitting there, waiting for him to make a stupid comment about guns.

I've said this elsewhere: He died doing what he loved; fomenting hatred until it got someone killed.

I'm not celebrating his death, but I'm not mourning it either.

Oh I'M definitely celebrating his death. may he rest in piss forever.

I at least enjoy the irony of a man who publicly said that death by gun violence was a problem we shouldn't even try to solve dying of gun violence.

And not for his wife, she willing let him do and say all that shit for a comfortable life with money from the Koch foundation.
rshini
I wouldn't be surprised if it comes out that Kirk beats her or is otherwise extremely abusive.
MaybeIllDisappear
You missed the one about lynching trans people. Rest in Piss Kirk.
whereismymind86
I saw some people saying that was fake, but I’m sure he believed it all the same.
MaybeIllDisappear
He implied it, then denied it. He said Trans people should be taken care of like they did in the 50's and 60's. His base knew what he meant.
Margrave9000
Yup, it doesn't matter whether he actually said it or not. It is in his character, so he would have said it eventually.
SailorPupitar
It doesn't really work like that. If he didn't say it he didn't say it, whether any of us assume he would or not.
Dude was a wretch, but adding lies on top of truths dilutes the truth
akafluffy
Those people were being disingenuous at best. It's not fake, it's exactly what he meant.
HisBubbliness
I was hoping to have a day of reflection for September 11th, but Kirk just had to be a selfish piece of shit and a dramatic bitch that he just had to go and get himself shot and killed. Christ, what an attention seeking little fuck.
AfterTheRainComesTheRainbow
Unfriended 3 people so far today who for some reason, thought he was good. Wild.
G0MeatCube
Its not he was good. Its that we have the freedom of speech in America and he got killed. It would be the same feelings if it was some democratic youtube talker.. its wrong.
AfterTheRainComesTheRainbow
Freedom of speech isn't freedom from consequences. Hope this helps.
G0MeatCube
It's not LEGAL to KILL someone. You guys arent seeing how fast this could slip and the fucking grand LARP of democracy and society could fall.
AfterTheRainComesTheRainbow
I never said it was. But kids were shot at a school on the same day and it barely got coverage coz a nazi died.
G0MeatCube
I see what your saying. Like where's this level of outrage for those kids?
straycatstrut
The only thing I feel bad about is that this will undoubtedly lead to more violence. The right wing lynch mob has already decided they know the motives and politics of the shooter despite the fact that they're still unknown and still at large. I can't say I feel any remorse for Charlie Kirk though. He reaped what he sowed as far as I'm concerned.
Margrave9000
More violence leads to less violence - but only if we make sure fascists get on the receiving end of it.
Decitron
Fact of the matter is, they were already growing their violence. This just gives them a talking point to do what they were already going to.
magus200342
The right has been violent for decades my dude. They don't need excuses or events like this to commit atrocities. Any violence they commit after this they would have done anyway just with a different reason filling in the blank for why.
moleclaw76
Absolute waste of skin. I don’t endorse violence, but I honestly can’t say that I care in the slightest that this piece of shit is no longer spouting his bigoted bile. 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🇵🇸🇺🇦
whereismymind86
Yeah, kinda where I’m at.
bubblestarmetallica
Few would choose violence when there are alternatives but often it’s thrust upon us. Unfortunately, when somebody like Charlie Kirk has gone that far down the rabbit hole there’s rarely any coming back.
BarryTheCyborg
He didn't go down the rabbit hole, he was helping dig it.
MrStealUrChange
Im in the same boat. I think he was an absolute piece of shit. I dont think he deserved to die....but I'm happy he's gone. He doesn't deserve any sympathy, and the world is a better place with him gone
rshini
I'm happy he died exactly in this way.
Studuggly33
I'm wondering why people thought he was worth listening to in the first place?
INeverReadTheTOS
Kirk was a piece of shit and directly contributed towards the suffering of countless people worse off than himself.
The world is just a tiny bit better today than it was yesterday.
Virus331
Fascist propagandists like Kirk have caused far more suffering than even the most prolific serial killers could ever hope to cause. I wish I believed in Hell.

3dartwork
Like what? I just know him for arguing with college students. What suffering was that?
INeverReadTheTOS
He helped found Turning Point USA; one of the country's most effective and powerful fascist propaganda dispensers.
wandermanspacebot
He did help galvanize the youth vote for Trump and the GOP, which has undoubtedly lead to more suffering. As for anything more than that? Only the terminally online believe so.
MasterBountakun
Amazing how some people will bring themselves to believe that spreading racism and homphobia in a country famous for lynching and people trying to start race wars just isn't harming anyone.
Decitron
In their minds, they are correct because they don't think queer people, non-whites, and women aren't people. All the more reason to laugh at the nazi pricks when they faceplant.
wandermanspacebot
Your straw man is on fire, son.
xj4low
NPR just had a great interview with someone close to Kirk. He claimed the radical left blah blah blah. When confronted about supporting the threat and murder of 2 democrat office members months ago he went on the attack and stated he can see why NPR is being defunded. She kept pressing the matter and his voice changed as he started yelling and she cut the interview. He was upset he couldn't control the interview and spin things to his views. It was hilarious.
Puptron
Source on him supporting threat and murder of Dems ? Would love to share link .
xj4low
This was the NPR interview with someone close to Kirk who gets outraged when republican violence against democrats gets brought up:

I'll have to look for it at home. Was a national NPR interview so should be on their site.
GenesisNynja
May be true, but I am legitimately afraid of the backlash from this. On Facebook (I know, I’m sorry), there are already tons of comments calling for civil war and the left to be eradicated. Things were bad and getting worse every day, but I’m afraid this may really ramp things up in a way we aren’t ready for.
Selekta
BBC are talking about nothing else over here, I’m waiting to see Lord Peter Mandelson get sacked over the Epstein files!
EdwardLongshanks
Apparently, the gun-nut, fashy, Kirk fanboys are okay with schoolchildren being eradicated, tho.
graehall
Exactly, I'm worried the world is NOT better off after Kirk was murdered but that it will cause things to get a whole lot worse compared to his bigoted ass still being alive
Benegesseritwitch75
I think this was the intended result. I'm not usually one for conspiracy but I could definitely see it as possible
Kdvdp
Wasn't there also a school shooting that day though? Not arguing against the idea of him getting shot would improve society (not to mention the poetic justice there). But I guess school shootings are like a daily occurrence in the US of A?
lozeldatkm
And guess who wasn't there to say the students deserved it this time?
kutkospare42
Him and people like him helped create the culture of shrugging and going "what can you do?" With half hearted condolences when these things happen. So unfortunately yes, school shootings barely make headlines to the point it's the first distasteful joke anyone outside the US makes
[deleted]

kutkospare42
Oh I'm well aware of his stances. I hate the term but we've been culturally groomed to not really give a shit. few years ago we were having a 9/11s worth of deaths a day and everyone just wanted to go back to work
HammFista
Yes, shooter killed himself and injured two others. That and NASA announces evidence of life on Mars slip under the radar because Biggums McTinyface had to get himself all second amendmented
michiyl
NASA has found a potential biosignature, but it needs more evidence https://www.nasa.gov/news-release/nasa-says-mars-rover-discovered-potential-biosignature-last-year/
Kdvdp
Ah that makes more sense. Although I'm pretty sure there once would have been microbial life on mars (presumably when it still had a magnetic field) I think the surface rovers will not suffice for collecting significant evidence for it.
We surely will find extraterrestrial life in this century (ignoring the rising global tensions that are flirting more and more with wwIII) within the solar system. There are quite a lot of promising candidates.

I mean…it’s Charlie Kirk. Thank you for the resource, but you don’t really need snopes for this one. Of course the right-wing, racist, instigating piece of shit said this.

Respect to Charlie for standing firm in his beliefs and dying.

Here’s the video and transcript. https://www.mediamatters.org/charlie-kirk/charlie-kirk-its-worth-have-cost-unfortunately-some-gun-deaths-every-single-year-so-we
Wolfwod
He said the 2nd Amendment was to fight tyrannical governments. I'm glad people in the USA are warming up to that idea.
ExogenousDataStructure
He died as he lived — a staunch supporter of the 2nd amendment.
“You will never live in a society when you have an armed citizenry and you won’t have a single gun death. That is nonsense. It is drivel. But I think it’s worth it. I think it’s worth to have a cost of unfortunately some gun deaths every single year so we can have the 2nd amendment to protect our other god given rights. That is a prudent deal. It is rational.”
Charlie Kirk
April 5th, 2023
TPUSA Faith event
thesameasyours
He believed in gum rights
pyroshen
"God given"??? Wtf. Obviously he's delusional but God had nothing to do with it.
Apoxyus
He really stuck his neck out for the 2nd amendment.
foxpotate
Gavin is straight up glazing. Kirk was younger than me and spent his entire adult life inciting hate and violence against me and anyone like me before pivoting back to racism with his last breath. He wasted the gift of life trying to end the lives of anyone different than him.
ElroydIsGone
Is Gavin mocking him or does he try to be taken seriously...? That's a hard case of Poe's law here.
Decitron
Newsom is serious. They did a podcast together and have a lot in common.
LoudBirb
"Good faith debate"...
*inhale* HAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAaaaaaaa.
whereismymind86
And that’s why when everyone was praising Gavin for his tweets mimicking Trump a bunch of us were trying to remind them Gavin is a phony. “Continue his work” go fuck yourself, Kirk’s work was enabling gun violence and advancing bigotry against minorities and queer folks. Kirk was a prick and his life’s work was revolting.
Mayfly10
Let me translate. When Kirk says 'we must kill all of group X' and someone listens and kills some of group X, that's not political violence. And Kirk's right/platform to say such things must be protected and even promoted. The only true political violence is when someone kills a person who is politically active, because that could have been me. The rest of you unwashed masses just don't matter as much.
SubTrout
The word "honor" should never be in the same zipcode as Charlie Kirk, unless delivered in Klingon-esque disgust about his lack of it. You don't become suddenly a good person because you spent your entire adult life sowing hatred and promoting violence and then, shocker of shocks, die to gun violence. Kirk was dogshit that helped fan the flames of violence that took his life. Rest in piss tinyface.
Margrave9000
Newscum just lost all his credibility forever.
onlymostofthetime
oh wow. newsom is really angling for the presidential race already. this is not the way to do it. you will not win a nationwide vote as a democrat by appealing to republicans with this bullshit. moderate or center-right republicans no longer exist, so this message will just piss off democrats, including myself.
TomSlick19
Really?
Decitron
What? Gavin hates political violence, and really appreciated Charlie's passion for... growing hatred & supporting political violence..? huh.
InTangier
Oh god. That old "he died so he is now a great person" usual bs. I mean, this is kind of a Luigi situation. Charlie Kirk got people killed through his stochastic terrorism.
I mean, not that I expected any better from Newsom, but he could've left his mouth shut, or taksn a jab at the people inciting violence on the GOP side. But nah, it's something only the GOP gets to do in situations like this. Ah, centrism...
Decitron
Newsom liked Charlie Kirk long before all of this. They're both terrible people.
Necrothean
And Imgur will forget this like they did their anger when he didn't veto a bill with a HUGE impact on Trans rights early this year. Or last year. Or every other time he's "crossed lines" and supported a rural California Republican initiative that swipes land, money, or rights before that. This isn't a one-off from "a great guy". This is the DNC's hand up the puppets' a$$es.
foxpotate
Yeah I get downvoted into oblivion every time these blue maga dupes wanna hero worship with that "yas queen" horseshit.
whereismymind86
I won’t forget
shitheadtookmyname
Getting really fucking sick and tired of every political discussion in this country being about trans people. The right hates it, and it's a purity test for anyone else. They're a fraction of a percent of Americans. Democrats need to learn how to change the subject when it comes up, bc it DOES destroy their electability. Not be hostile. Just change the subject and then do the work once elected. Bc it loses elections and you can't fix things if you can't get elected.
Decitron
If you abandon trans people, you’re willing to abandon black people, Jewish people, Muslims, women... if only there was a poem about it.
Illinifan88
Gross. You can condemn political violence without gushing over a fucking piece of trash nazi.
Newsom just reminding everyone that politics is a game to him and he has no real stake in any of it.
ElroydIsGone
And I don't really understand the "ideas are tested in debate" bit. No Nazi ever found out, that eradicating all Jews and Slavs and whatnot is bad, because someone really explained it to them.
I last consequence, political ideas are tested through implementation, nothing else. And Kirk might just have found out why violent solutions in politics do have their downsides.
foxpotate
Like obama just did despite a decade of unprovoked calls to violence kirk sent his way?
ElroydIsGone
Obama only says that political violence is bad and that he shows compassion for the people who most likely are suffering due to the loss. He doesn't say anything good about his character, so nothing he says is wrong, IMHO.
With Gavin's praise it is difficult to say, if he isn't mocking him. Poe's law at its finest.
Illinifan88
Right. That's all you gotta do. Kirk doesn't deserve any praise, so don't do it. But we also desperately need to try to cool the violent political rhetoric, despite republican leaders being responsible for it.
foxpotate
I really hate how far to the right wing the current Democratic stock has shifted.
whereismymind86
Honestly that’s probably more gracious than he deserved, but it highlights the tragedy of murder without praising the monster who was killed. Plus, former president and all. Part of the brand to be nice.
whereismymind86
As Pritzkers statement illustrated, which was something to the effect of “I don’t support political violence but, I get it”
Illinifan88
Pritzkers my pick for 2028 at this point. I know he's a billionaire, but he was the first prominent Democrat to come out and liken the republican party to nazis. And because he's a billionaire, he can't be bought. He's kept every promise he ran on for governor and then some. And has bankrolled progressive candidates in Illinois and across the country.
NKato
I'm still waiting for him to order the state troopers to start arresting ICE agents for state felonies.
