    “I think it’s worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights. That is a prudent deal. It is rational.”

    Charlie Kirk sat under a tent that said “Prove Me Wrong” and got shot dead with a bullet in the neck. So either he’s right and his death is a prudent deal, or he’s a dumbass. The whole situation is so riddled with irony it has to be a joke.

      Yup. I might not be fine with the way Charlie Kirk died but that quote proves that Charlie Kirk was fine with the way Charlie Kirk died.

      So, I’ve avoided images/video of the actual shooting, this is the first time I’ve heard he was under a tent that said “Prove me wrong”

      LOL

        It is 10x more ironic than that when you dig into it. Dude also said public executions should be a thing and that kids should be forced to see it and then he was publicly executed in front of his own kids.

            More specifically he was trying to obfuscate with gang violence amongst people of color only to catch a bullet in Mormonland. Which is so fucken white it makes my pasty ass uncomfortable.

              He was trying to wave it away as black-on-black violence without saying that phrase, only to hilariously die to white-on-white violence

    You know what Charlie Kirk would say about this if he were still alive?

    The type of person who arrested him:

    By Sunday evening, however, the posts had gotten the attention of Perry County Sheriff Nick Weems. An avid Facebook user himself, Weems had shared the information about the Kirk vigil on his own page a few days earlier. He had also posted his own emotional response to the news of Kirk’s murder in September, warning ominously about the “evil” in our midst. “Evil could be your neighbor,” he wrote. “Evil could be standing right beside you in the grocery store. It could be your own family member and you never even know it.”

          It’s go to the city/county/state. Being that a Nashville judge said that the charges against Garcia and attempting to deport him were likely illegitimate… I don’t see it going that sheriff’s way at all

              Invade a city in Tennessee and try to claim well they are majority Democrats in that area, they started walking a tight rope. Announce snap will be cut to Tennessee for all next month because of federal government inaction. Then try to say a mostly Republican district in Tennessee doesn’t get to follow Tennessee law… That may manage to piss off enough Tennessee citizens who believes in States rights enough to flip multiple house seats. Unless they have the voting already guaranteed rigged, it would be a foolish move.

        Something the dipshits don’t ever seem to realize. That their taxes are literally paying out those multi-million dollar settlements.

        That’s where the real and easy to stop government waste is.

      How much money can he even get for this? I’m not a lawyer but I assume he can ask for lost wages and maybe for emotional distress(?) but that should come at around a few tens of thousands. From what I’ve seen before not even people that were wrongfully imprisoned for decades don’t get that much money in reparations. Also from looking it up Tennessee has a cap of 1 million dollars for reparations.

      So I don’t know where you live, but in the US the First Amendment covers pretty firmly that this is allowed. The Sheriff had literally no grounds to arrest him.

          While I’m sure that the current dipshits at the top want it to be a crime in and of itself, in most places it will only be a escalation of another crime, like you burning your neighbor’s clothes, but if you burn their flag it’s a higher charge. I know a few places still have the flag burning on the books specifically for that. It’s just like other property destruction charges, where they don’t specifically spell out that you can’t be charged for destroying your own property.

        You’re absolutely right, BUT It does not grant freedom from consequences or actions of others based on your written/spoken words, and when the powers that be are only a few steps short of red arm bands…

        America stands for freedom But if you think you’re free Try walking into a deli And urinating on the cheese

      I am not sure I would even call it a meme.

      And if I remember correctly it wasn’t more than one AND was just a re-post of Trump’s tweet. So we are saying he can get jailed for re-posting the presidents own words?

      I get your point somewhat, but not in a thousand years would any one expect that posting a Presidents own words is jailtime.

      Yeah, we live in New America now. You need to protect yourself online.

      This isn’t ok, but yeah, you need to be smart on the internet. That’s the country we live in now.
