Charlie Kirk shot in Utah

[Elixir]

Well, the price of liberty is some gun deaths every year. What? I'm just saying what Charlie Kirk said.

Charlie said some very unfortunate things. It is unsurprising that some of that misfortune should visit itself upon him.
Looks like he had maybe twenty seconds before bleeding out, so... sayanara Charlie unless there was immediate intervention. If that was an AR round, no intervention would likely save him.

Unfortunate? lol, he stood for something.

Actually he sat, then fell over for it.

Now there has been a drive-by shooting at Tim Pool's property. Nobody's hurt. Tim Pool isn't even conservative, just a liberal who deviates from the party line and is willing to criticize his own side.

Who? This person didn't go to high school? So he is a professional talker.

Meanwhile:

Pool’s remarks come shortly after he claimed in a post on X that a person "opened fire" while approaching his property in a vehicle. He said in the post that there were no injuries, that his team is reviewing the incident and will be "relaying the report to appropriate law enforcement."

You know, if I was shot at, I'd call the LEOs first, then start looking into things.

Oddly enough, he sounds like he is saying his show might stop because of costs... right when he or his establishment was 'violently assaulted'.

"At what point do we say we can't do this anymore? The cost of running Tim Cast IRL studio and the projects around it exceeds the amount of money it brings in," Pool said. "That's just that breaking point, isn't it? For any business."

"The cost isn’t cameras or lights, the cost is security," he added: "We can’t forgo security, but we can’t sustain it either."

Pool is a right-wing influencer. He has once in the past described himself as centrist and "center libertarian left," but the vast majority of his positions are alt-right conspiracy theories and pro-Trump. He also said he is pro-Bernie. He is kind of like RVonse. Pro-Trump on almost everything, anti-Democrat, and occasionally will name-drop Bernie to get some cred. Or you could say he is like how Bill O'Reilly used to call himself a centrist while being a registered Republican or how some Christian influencers will falsely claim they used to be atheists. The most interesting thing about Pool is he seems to have been paid by the Russians to influence things the way he was doing so. To try to put this in the broader context of the thread, many influencers are being bankrolled and Charlie Kirk wasn't an exception.

Yeah, but there is no such thing as the "alt right", that's a Woke conspiracy. Everyone is a "liberal" these days. Or if you really need to be specific, a "classical liberal". Don't call them neoliberals though, they hate that too.

Misogyny and fake Christianity?

Money. Lots of it. Pouring into his pockets.
