Counterpoint, im going to live my life in a way that upsets fascists/conservatives so if I get shot and they celebrate, I know I lived a morally good life.
I don't really know that MAGA mentality really lends itself to galvanizing martyrs. They hold up people as fallen heroes, but I don't think they really make a difference in the collective motivation.
Martyrdom may require more empathy than they are capable of.
While your "people are assholes" comment has some truth, it's more accurate to say that there has been a reduction in the number of people that are assholes. And maybe if he had been sitting down rather than standing up, this would have gone over his head. I'll give him kudos for standing up.
But his views we anti democratic and anti social, trying to be a contrarian and conflating facts to serve your own ends is not views. He was a horrible debator who used gish gallop technique to overwhelm his opponent to elicit an emotional response and then to deride the individual for getting mad at him. He used hate to fuel his base, he used misogyny to drown out support for equality and equal rights. But go ahead and tell us we are losing our minds.
If you don't care what he said how can you defend him saying it? As for my response is everyones issues, if your willing to allow for a facisit to dictate policy for the government then you are the problem. I need to grow up? You clearly don't want to debate the facts and just demand acquiecense to your position I'll grow up when you learn to engage.
You don't because when i talk shit you turn on me :) between Kirk and me you support the man who is perfectly fine with school shootings instead of me that is weird no?
They got a guy who was concealed carrying and pulled his piece when things got crazy. For reference, the school obviously can't stop you from concealed carrying on the grounds if you're doing it right but you are not supposed to. So yeah, they apprehended the man with a gun, but it wasn't the shooter.
I didn't say illegal, but private properties can request individuals not open carry. That said, I checked after you mentioned and you're right, they had an open carry policy.

Not crazy about Charlie Kirk becoming their martyr tbh.

I find this perplexing as well. “Conservative activist” indeed…

I dont care what he says/said. Your response is your issue. Grow up.

Im sorry, where am I defending this POS?!? My point has clearly gone over your head and that adds to my disparity. Fuck!!!
TheRedBaron8
This you? *People are assholes. Kudos to himfor standing up, regardless of his views. You all are losing your minds.* That is defending him.

That is a weird way of saying i respect a man who supports nazis and pedos.
CalvinMcFly
Lol, look how fucking low you all go.

Waaaaaaaaa lil cry baby snowflake gonna cry?
TheRedBaron8
What level of low? Stochastic terrorism low? Or just low brow? Help us out here.
Jandegrote
So when i am standing up regardless of my views i go low when he does it about things way more dark its kudos to him?
CalvinMcFly
I support anyone talking any shit, regardless of your feelings. Do you get that????
Jandegrote
You don't because when i talk shit you turn on me :) between Kirk and me you support the man who is perfectly fine with school shootings instead of me that is weird no?

I'm looking forward to learning more about the shooter. Place your bets!!

Did you know that Charlie Kirk told his fans to stop asking him about Epstein? Who wants to bet it was an enraged fan of his?

FBI reports they're in custody.

They have someone in custody. Do we really trust the FBI?
OhIfIMust
Huh, so it wasn't the old guy?
eion85
It's a fast moving story. Kash Patel says someone is in custody, but he's a lying sack of shit.
I have no faith in the trustworthiness of the FBI or basically any Trump supporting law enforcement.

The school allows open carry. How can it also be illegal for those with CCLs to carry?

I didn't say illegal, but private properties can request individuals not open carry. That said, I checked after you mentioned and you're right, they had an open carry policy.
