Far right politico Charlie Kirk just shot in the neck in Utah 20:24 - Sep 10 with 40752 viewsElderGrizzly

Was speaking at a University event and appears to have been shot (from distance) in the neck.

And actually shot, not the Donald Trump kind.

Horrific whatever your political views and has no place in politics

It's a way of distracting attention from the house in Clacton.

It's sad - I see so many Americans on social media extolling the benefits of the UK, having been here as sort of the military etc. every time I watch a clip I cannot help but think we're simply a few years behind them.


It is very worrying the way we tend to follow the US's lead.

But it's OK, it isn't leaning towards fascism.

Indeed we’re just ‘making it up’ SMH.

This is genuinely appalling and shameless from the MP for Claptrap. Paying tribute to a man who opposes British values, had no real presence here until his death etc all to cosy up to Trump should see some sort of sanction from the house.


Firstly, and its an important caveat, Kirk's assassination is appalling and completely unjustified. But the way he is being made out to be a hero and martyr is concerning. He was an extremist, he profited from division, and some of this beliefs and statements need condemning not celebrating. His wife's video statement, just sums up the movement the Kirk was in.

The way Trump has use this episode, is dangerous and so ill informed. The shooter seems to have acted alone, he's from a white conservative republican environment. Where's the conversation on people being able to get high powered sniper rifles.

And for arch grifting disruptor Farage to jump on this band wagon is sickening. We need to stand up a country, and ask how do we avoid becoming like the USA.

Boris Johnson’s comments are particularly concerning- a former prime minister describing such awful hateful and harmful rhetoric as just being a common sense type approach is disgusting.

But they are to an elite bigot who fancies himself as the heir to Churchill. It’s weird when people quote Kirk to his legions of new fans they get so mad.

Errr what?

Charlie Kirk had some truly obnoxious views and actively stirred culture wars in effective support of what Trump's administration (which is doing all the things I referenced and much more) is doing.


You’re free to call his views obnoxious as we have free speech 👍 It’s when we start saying “I think I will you cancel you for those views I disagree with” leading to “you’ve been shot dead and I don’t condemn that because of your opinions” and then Mr.Orwell will fill in the rest for you.

no-one on here's said the killing was justified, you appear to be making stuff up.

why aren't people free to call the actions of trump et al fascist if we have free speech? how do you define fascism which differs from their actions?

Literally no-one on here has said that they believe he should have died.

What are you on about? He was shot dead by a far right extremist from some weird internet cult it seems.

Wee Tommeh's friends holding a minute's silence in London is peak cringe.

I'm sure they all held similar silences for every school shooting
