Oh now they’re afraid of guns?
MFW we find out that the shooter is a Republican that’s mad about Charlie’s about face on Epstein.

His face, in general, was very maddening tbh.
Very punchable, but that’s true of Nazis in general.
It’s so strange. I’ve seen people who I had no idea who they were or what they prurported to believe and thought “that face looks a bit obnoxious” and lo and behold they are asshats as soon as they say anything…
him being a pro-zionist nazi is something else. He wouldnt even try to defend jewish people when MTG was railing on jewish people last year.
I’m open to being wrong, but my money’s on Groypers or some other extremely online right wing group.
It shows signs of being a well-executed hit. So it’s probably not online fasc-bois.
I’m so confused. Shouldn’t he feel safe with security and being a “good guy” with a gun to protect himself?
I don’t really get it. Are they scared that there is another good guy with a gun?
Ooh here’s another one who’s right to be scared, and whose death I would struggle to shed a tear over.
We’re not supposed to celebrate death or violence.
In unrelated matters, I just want to say that I’m really enjoying Lemmy’s m/music community today, y’all should check them out!
Edit: ITT: a lot of people who haven’t checked out https://lemmy.world/c/music?dataType=Post&sort=New
Hey man, nice shot!
Such a banger song.
I will always celebrate the death of terrorists that target civilians. Stochastic terrorism is still terrorism.
!music@lemmy.world for people who’d like an instance-agnostic link. Idk of a way to specify the sort using this method tho.
We’re not supposed to celebrate death or violence
It depends on what instance you’re on. We don’t have ads and corporate masters here. As long as you don’t encourage someone to go do something like that I think you’ll be fine. Depends on the instance admins tho.
We’re not supposed to
You don’t tell me what I’m supposed to do!
Yeah seriously. I’m not that attached to this account. I’ll celebrate whatever I want. I simply don’t want to celebrate violence but not because of some fucking hand wringing rule.
We’re not supposed to celebrate death or violence.
I’m not celebrating anything. I don’t wish anybody to die, but I certainly won’t get dressed to go to everybody’s funeral.
cough. Yeah, go check out m/music on Lemmy.
I think we could use some more opening statements though.
Ohhh the wu tang post. Chef’s kiss.
Why are we not supposed to celebrate death?
Because it can be used as an excuse for governments, corporations, or deranged people to target the instances that host us, and the people who run those instances.
For celebrating violence, maybe.
Not for celebrating death.
yeah but i’m done being dishonest
ObscureMusic (https://sopuli.xyz/c/obscuremusic@piefed.social) has been doing pretty good job, I celebrate posts there all the time. :)
I’d die a giddy little girl if I never had to hear his annoying nasally voice again. Sooooo not masculine.
His voice and mannerisms are annoying, but it’s what he says that really is the problem. Maybe he thinks Aquaman is now after him.
Agreed. Don’t care if you’re tall or short, ugly or pretty, nice voice or bad voice. All I care is whether you’re a decent person or not.
His whiny voice makes what he says worse, at least to me. I’m not going to listen to some snot nosed bridge troll tell me what’s up.
Here, you can use this to adjust his voice to the nasalliness of your pleasure:
Hahaha I love the internet
He sounds like a gnat on speed.
What I find so weird is that apparently he’s the Confederates’ idea of what a very S-M-R-T person sounds like. Just because he talks fast?
The “debate me” energy that so many mansplainers have…it just has micro d energy written over it.
I still remember his Home Depot trip.
“I’m all for violence and hate, just not towards me. I want to spread hate and fear, as I’m a soldier for my beliefs. But not when there’s a slightest chance of risk for my own safety involved. I only want to harm others while being safe myself.”
It seems that they have definitely started to show themselves so much more that TACO is in office now.
I suppose people are starting to notice.
“But I thought only Republicans had guns. I only want to target defenseless minorities. I’m not willing to die for this cause!”
You can definitely read this in Shapiro’s voice.
He should just hire good guys with guns.
Yeah, like the one who short Kirk.
I don’t think they’d accept his offer.
The trigger fingers of the John Brown gun club members would probably be really itchy around Benny boy.
I’ve thought about this a lot since Luigi. The power of these alt reality movements is derived from their mouthpieces. Without their army of apologists, every ridiculous lie sounds as stupid as it is and always was.
Being a professional shill/propagandist for these people should be one of the most dangerous jobs in the world, and I’m surprised that’s not the case. So, smart move on Ben. He should hang up the towel, and find a real job.
Being a shoe salesman would be a great choice for Ben since he wouldn’t have to bend over to help people in and out of shoes.
It should be and I think it just a matter of time before it becomes just that. Bread and circuses only works when people can afford the bread. The hungry will blame the clowns.
Ben Shapiro killed Charlie Kirk. After all, Ben Shapiro was the rising star replacement for Rush Limbaugh until Charlie Kirk came along and passed him up, and became the big MAGA Media darling.
Now Shapiro is back on top. He stands to benefit the most by Kirk’s death. Obviously, Shapiro did it.
Nah, he was Seal Team Sixed by Trump for not being a blind devoted follower. See Kirk’s flip flop on Epstein files. Yes, he publicly acquiesced but that showed too much independent thought that, with his following, organization, and youth, was a threat that required fatal consequences.
“Goddammit! I told you to just nick his ear, like you did with me!”
Was the ear ever actually damaged? No medical reports, thomas crooks could’ve been given a blank believing it to be real and S.S. killing that maga firefighter to add to the authenticity.
(But hey, that’s just a theory.)
A theory that I buy 100%. There is video of him 2 weeks later with no bandage, and there isn’t the slightest thing wrong with his ear. It should have taken a chunk off his ear, and there wasn’t even a scab.
The whole thing was a pre-convention hoax, meant to drum up support. Remember how all of them were wearing bandages on their ears to show solidarity?
Dipshit traitors.
And another attempt at deflection from the pedo files, 2 birds with one bullet through the neck.
I don’t know about you, but I don’t know where Ben Shapiro was at Noon yesterday.
Seems obvious to me, but MAGA Nazis aren’t quick on the uptake. Their primary characteristic, after treason, racism, ignorance, and pedophilia, is virtuosic incompetence. Frankly, it’s what will finally save America. Their breathtaking stupidity is unsustainable, and will eventually lead to their failure and collapse.

It proves that guns will make them shut up.
Come on, exercise your free speech.
Guns will also make libs shut up. This isn’t a good thing
They’ve been doing that for a while tho. If you’re a minority, even longer - possibly since the country was founded.
That’s not the point I’m making. I’m saying that if it had happened to be a prominent liberal commentator at the other end of that bullet, other liberal commentators would cancel shows in fear of their safety. It’s not a good situation for anybody
I get the viewpoint, but it did hit a bit differently when people that actively promote offensively hateful viewpoints and widespread gun availability incur the exact sort of expected outcome you’d expect from going down that path.
If you callously say murders are worth it to have guns everywhere, then this can be expected.
If he goes out of his way to stir up a hornets nest to try to hurt others in the area, then I’m not going to be too surprised that he gets stung.
Even as this should be a sign to tone down the rhetoric, a lot of them are doubling down with confrontational perspectives (well out of reach of the public mind you).
libs shut up voluntarily.
Then start ordering their left to shut up.
America’s unwillingness to give up guns has desensitized us to violence. Tit-for-tat political violence was the obvious outcome of that. Now even if the country implemented sensible gun policies, I think it’s too late. The violence will continue because we’re desensitized to it
I don’t have a solution. We’ll likely live with gun violence as a daily occurrence for the rest of our lives. It’ll be a slow and painful recovery if there is one
What do you mean you “will” live with gun violence as a daily occurrence? It already is.
No no, Ben, god chose you, he’ll just gently blow any bullets out of the way, right? Because god exists? And prayer works? He created the universe and shit?
I want to punch this weasel-faced rat just on principle, but especially because of his overt religiosity, and therefore dangerous insanity.
Why isn’t religion a mental illness?
Most of these generic American Christians are taught it was gods will. That is… ANYTHING is gods will. I used to find that so interesting as I was raised in all that abuse. No matter WHAT happens, it’s always god that intended it or wanted it. There was some “purpose” or reason.
How convenient.
My parents also loved to lean into how they only had to answer to god. Also convenient.
No mom and dad, you answer to me. Your children are the only ones qualified to determine whether you were a good parent.
“God never gives anyone more than they can handle.”
… “Because that’s when he takes you.”
I hate his dumb face, and his stupid nasally voice. I hate when he wears a little yarmulke and he has a slight look of smug satisfaction like “that’s right I’m Jewish, you can’t say shit”
There are some countries that ban religion. You can tell which ones they are because they’re the ones that shine with the best of humanity.
I can only think of USSR and DPRK. maybe Maoist China, but China (at least now) allows religion (though it prohibits Tibetan Buddhism and iirc Islam.)
I definitely wouldn’t consider DPRK to “shine with the best of humanity.” good luck to you if you decide to move there; don’t pull an Otto Warmbier!
You can’t ban religion, it seems to be a “feature” of the human species. We can keep it well contained though.
Can you name some? That would be a quality I would like to prioritize when picking a place to move to.
USSR is the only one I heard of doing that.
Those countries are heavily orthodox now. So I guess that didn’t work
Yah which on or is this just some more internet bullshit.
Because the inmates are running the asylum.
What we need is some sort of new world order.
Hey maybe there’s a guy with a hit list going around killing people. Or was that the Minnesota shooter that was out to kill a bunch of democrats?
Coward
Shapiro should keep going out and talking, he just needs to bring his wife with him. That way, if something happens, she can just soak up all the blood with her desiccated vagina.
Healthy sandpaper texture. Just like the doctor ordered. 👌
Good. Now they’re learning the part of the book where Frankenstein fears what he created.
More like Frankenstinky
I’m European and it is the fist time I realize these are 2 different persons. I always mixed them up to now.
It should be a lot easier going forward
One has a river of blood on his neck. The other keeps his in Palestine
That bigass head certainly had a proportionate amount of blood in it.
They are appendages, therefore you weren’t wrong in your original assumption
It’s easy to do because neither of them matter.
It’s fistin’ time!
