It has been extremely disheartening to see people celebrating this across other social media platforms.

if you sort by 'controversial' on most of the reddit threads that's where you'll see the the more nuanced takes.

>>CSMast+(OP)
I haven't seen much at all on twitter, Facebook or bluesky. Seems like you have to look pretty hard to find it.

>>suzzer+hB
Bluesky is full of pro-murder posts.

Here's a list of the top posts on Reddit in the last 24 hours:

Shooting at a Colorado school (More important than that other thing)

Charlie Kirk has just been shot

Charlie Kirk says gun deaths "unfortunately" worth it

If you preach hate, don’t be surprised when it finds you.

In an attempt to remove Banksy's art, the UK government has created a more iconic symbol of injustice in the UK.

Kirk once said gun violence is “part of liberty.”

Why do you think President Trump ordered all US Flags at half staff for the death of a Political Commentator, but not for the death of actual Legislators?

He died doing what he loved: trying to get other people killed

Bad Bunny Says He Didn’t Include U.S. in Tour Dates Due to Fear of ICE Raids

Ironic he dies in a school shooting.

Senate investigating Peter Thiel’s money ties to Epstein

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

Both are sick and deplorable. I do think it’s fair to say that political violence hasn’t been repudiated enough.

>>hereme+pC
Not my timeline. It's either people condemning political violence while noting they're not fans of Kirk, or people whining about how political violence is only condemned by both sides when the target is on the right.

I didn't name reddit. I rarely go there.

>>mangod+AI
Yes - even most of the people who made those jokes wouldn’t want to live in a world where that’s true. I remember some guys smiling at the assassinations in Minnesota because the shooter targeted Democrats and it was like … guys like that will add someone you like to the list sooner or later. Nobody is safe for long in that world.

>>CSMast+(OP)
I see the same thing.

>>CSMast+RH
Nothing you posted is a celebration.

>>hereme+pC
Definitely not true. You may be seeing a lot, but I am not which means that we can't categorically say that it's "full" of such posts.

>>CSMast+(OP)
I haven’t seen any of this, anecdotally. Don’t confuse indifference with celebration. You all had a school shooting the other day too and I’ve hardly heart about it because it is overshadowed by this news.

>>ImPost+Rm2
Agree. To me the general reaction seems to be mourning or indifference. I don’t see why the latter is a problem - there are so many gun deaths in the US; I believe there was yet another school shooting the other day too.

>>drewbe+Qq2
Good to hear.

>>CSMast+(OP)
I haven't seen anybody celebrating his death, just a whole bunch of idiots saying everybody is celebrating his death

"This looks like nothing to me"

>>baobab+dP2
"random non-sequitur words in quotes" to you, too, friend.

hope you have a good day.

>>suzzer+1M
I confess I'm not familiar with political assassination attempts against the left in recent years.

>>hereme+v05
A democratic state senator from Minnesota was assassinated 3 months ago.

>>suzzer+Qb5
Just read the case. Gruesome. The assassin had some serious mental issues.

>>CSMast+(OP)
Obviously that's not representative.

You should get off social media for a while if you think it in any way is.

>>ImPost+YY2
It was a quote from Westworld relevant to your post. Ironically, even that looked like nothing to you.

>>baobab+nM8
ah, in that case, "non-random non-sequitur words in quotes" to you, too, friend.

>>ImPost+I7a
I guess you mean "non-random non-non-sequitur". Sure. I'll take it.
