      Considering he literally said he’d force his own prepubescent daughter to carry a pregnancy to term if raped, i’d say they dodged the bullet he didn’t

          Yee. They always change their tune when it affects them. The only way it happens for the party of narcissism.

          Look at the Republicans who are accepting of gays. Bet they have a gay family member in some capacity because they are incapable of feeling anything for something that isn’t “theirs”.

          You are absolutely correct. Anyone that believes he would do this is a brainwashed MAGA dipshit. He would “rules for thee, but not for me” so fast it would make heads spin. Never been happier about a hole in a neck.

        Yeah. Nobody should have to watch their parent or child die. Guy was a waste of oxygen but I hope the kids get plenty of therapy.

        Moving forward may the world be a slightly better place, where these conservative grifters are tempered slightly by the fear they might end up like Charlie here.

          Yeah, thats whats going to happen. Not that the unhinged right wing fuckwits use him as martyr, and saddle up for some weird fucking payback.

          The way to defeat Kirk was with words and facts. A bullet does nothing but make his voice louder. If it was some left wing culture war weirdo, all they did was make him immortal. Yay…

            “The way to defeat Kirk was with words and facts.”

            And you scoff like my statement was outlandish.

            My gut feeling is this isn’t going to be as impactful as people are saying. I remember the media buzz after Trump was almost waxed and we didn’t see any (noteworthy) reprisals.

              Depends. Jan 6th saw some pretty unhinged people get together with guns and zip ties. It wouldnt take much, for that to have gone a whole lot worse. And now we are seeing right leaders and influencers all over the world mark this as a call for violence against the left. I have a feeling that somebody, somewhere, who has no connection to whats happened, pay the price for whats happened to Kirk.

              If nothing else, he’ll become a martyr. And that might be the worst thing of all.
