Horrific video but feels like it was absolutely inevitable.

You have a gun loving country and a man with horrific views (most of which arent even debatable to most sane people despite his attempts to debate), purposely going to areas of said country to antagonise and upset people with opposite views.

Horrific views. Fuck me. There's a good reason I stay away from Off Topic

I’m comparing the idea that it’s ok to shoot someone for disagreeing with their opinion. It’s fucking lunacy. You can dislike the man. That’s not a problem and disagree with his views. I do largely. It’s just a sad world we live in where proper weirdos log on to celebrate and tell everyone how they don’t care. Proper head the balls them

His type of politics, whether left or right are part of the problem.
No sensible debate just extreme views and language with the sole aim to divide.
It was always going to end badly for someone.

There might be. You don’t know. I don’t know. Thankfully the police (or those that are good) don’t operate on what’s “blatantly obvious” — they operate on facts.

By the way — it’s also entirely possible the shooter had every legal right to a gun even in an onerous control environment. We don’t know that either.

Not trying to pick on you either — a lot of us on alI sides are reaching conclusions not yet supported by facts.

I’m not on any side. I’m on the side of a man being shot needlessly. If the shooter had the legal right to have the gun, he didn’t have the legal right to shoot someone in the neck did he.
 
Bit of a coincidence that he was shot just after someone in the crowd asked him about guns.

This is true unfortunately and his views were unbelievably abhorrent. It is still sad though that he's died.

As I’ve said I’m not on Twitter anymore, but I imagine the conspiracy theorists are having a field day!

Well it wasn't Obama.
It wasn't a drag queen.
It wasn't a trans person.
And it wasn't an immigrant.

Until stuff is digitally edited.. to suit the narrative the powers that be want us to believe.

Also just seen it. Looks unsurvivable. Various reports he's dead.

He was in the middle of his usual special around gun control. Looks like a very political point was made in the most brutal fashion.

Specifically according to CNN:

Audience member: “Do you know how many transgender Americans have been mass shooters over the last 10 years?”

Kirk: “Too many.”

The same audience member went on say the number is five, and proceeded to ask if Kirk knows how many mass shooters there have been in America over the last 10 years.

Kirk: “Counting or not counting gang violence?”

Seconds later, the sound of a pop is heard and the crowd screams as Kirk gets shot and recoils in his seat.
