    I feel like Charlie Kirk should be nominated for a Darwin award. Dude literally campaigned for guns, said it was Ok that some people die from gun violence and then got shot while sitting under a tent labelled “prove me wrong”.

        I’m a parent too, and that’s exactly why I am glad his disgusting voice was silenced in the most public and ironic way possible.

        So did John Wayne Gacy, what’s your point?

        Charlie Kirk’s comment about “some gun deaths being necessary” was in response to a comment about school shootings involving small children, wasn’t it? I don’t remember exactly, why don’t you look it up yourself?

          Darwin award is for people who make themselves unable to reproduce.

          I need to edit the comment in order not to sound like I’m defending him.

    What a fitting memorial to Charlie Kirk’s final words, when he said we shouldn’t care so much about gun violence because so many of the people getting shot aren’t worth getting upset over. That’s an important lesson in irony.

    To be fair, people are paying for cross necklasses after their last religious leader died on one…

          Hey now the crucifix is a plenty civilized torture device. Unlike the savages who just killed you before desecrating your corpse the Romans lashed you to a cross and displayed your still living body then they’d take your corpse down eventually. Do you not see the fruits of civilization when compared to the savagery of the barbarian, especially since you may get running water and lead poisoning in return.

          You know I was initially making what amounted to pro-Roman shitpost but uhhhh it kinda turned into a weird commentary on the United States midway through.

      They actually evil. It’s that simple. We’re brought up to think humans have innate morals that ultimately prevail. Some just don’t have it. The current president has shone a light on this. Unfortunately right and wrong has to be taught.
