Funny how no flags are ever lowered at half-staff for any school shootings.

Cuz you know, children aren’t nearly as important as one MAGA pundit…

    The NY Times comments about his death are pretty disgusting. Lots of enlightened centrist liberals talking about how inspiring and respectful Kirk was and what a loss it is.

    That said, there were only about 100 comments before they locked it. Given the comment counts on big stories like this, I imagine there must’ve been about 10 or 20 times as many comments that they declined to publish.

      Yeah, I just saw a headline from The Economist that made me want to gag: “Charlie Kirk challenged liberals until the day he was murdered”

      I mean, what kind of bullshit hagiography is that announcing? I started to read it, and it gets even worse right from the very jump.

      Charlie Kirk was an awful douchebag and these paeans being said/written about him already are nauseating and he only just was killed. I suspect it’s only going to get worse.
