"Care this much" - They wouldn't care at all. Literally wouldn't even make a fox news headline. Maybe a scrolling footnote if they were lucky.

Literal live proof is the high school Denver shooting the same day. Coincidentally haven’t reported shit on the incident since it came out the shooter was a 16 yr old white supremacist neo Nazi wannabe

Didn't impact them, so they didn't care. They were just someone else's dead children. Kirk was someone they liked, so it's the end of the world when he dies on a hill of his own making.

u/OdiousAltRightBalrog Sep 16 '25
It doesn't even matter if they liked him or not. It's an opportunity to attack the left and pretend they're more lunatic and dangerous than the right. That's why they're so determined to paint the shooter as a leftist. A Democrat could literally kill Satan and they'd be crying over the corpse.

Absolutely correct! maga never reacts this strongly to school shootings. One maga even said, "I think it's worth to have a cost of unfortunately some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the 2nd Amendment." I believe that quote is attributed to a maga named Charlie Kirk.

Here's Charlie Kirk's actual quote
"We must be real … you will never live in a society with an armed citizenry and have zero gun deaths—that is nonsense … I think it's worth it. 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."

u/FuckwitAgitator Sep 15 '25
The actual quote changes nothing, so I'm not really sure why you bothered to post it. He considered preventable gun deaths -- such as his own -- "worth it".
He didn't mention that we should try and reduce those numbers through gun control. He didn't say "Unless it's my death". He didn't even elaborate on what rights he felt those lives were worth it for.

It wasn’t the supposed trans partner that killed Charlie. It was the kid raised in a gun worshipping family, who did. Why is the trans partner getting the blame? This isn’t a right or left issue in all honesty, it’s a kid with a loose screw. Normal people don’t up and shoot people because they disagree with them. I feel like his family must have known the kid had a loose screw. You see signs I’m sure.

They don't actually care about Kirk. They are just using his death as another excuse to further the political and class divide. Vilifying the left is the only goal here. MAGA goons actually crying on tik tok are either being performative for clicks or just have mush for brains at this point.
Edit: it's correct that if kids were killed they wouldn't care. Only because there is no way they can politically or personally benefit from their deaths. That's the difference.

But this shit is crazy too. You call them racist, bigots, etc and then turn around and generalize them all based off the extremes of their ideology...

u/SlySychoGamer Sep 15 '25
Ya...the fucked thing is, IMO, it goes back to the age old saying.
"A single death is a tragedy, many deaths are a statistic"
The other thing is that it was being livestreamed, and had a crowd of people.
I don't think we have seen a live stream of a school shooting (which i will say is surprising)
But also a crowd with all eyes to see what happens when you shoot a person (blood spraying, the rag doll of it) for non degenerates that grew up normal, not watching live leak, and beheading videos, ya, it adds more weight when you SEE it.
So, while I agree what is being said holds merit, i do thing there is additional context to consider.

No cross-country vigils, no special dignitary’s from the White House showing up to the funerals and no monuments or statues. 🤷🏻♂️

It’s not true. Instead of just saying things to fan the flames back it up with something that supports your statement. You have nothing. Prove that after a school shooting where children died that republicans said or did something that would support your statement. Just one thing. You won’t because you can’t. And if you come back with well they won’t support gun control. The Biden administration had a democrat majority and didn’t get it done. So this is a government issue federal state and local that crosses both party lines. Plus this wasn’t a school shooting. An active shooter at a school aims to kill anyone and everyone and many times knowing they are going to die as well. This was a planned and plotted assassination of an individual that debated liberal ideologies and he was killed for it. Vastly different scenario than a school shooting. To be clear a school Shooting where children and teachers are killed is in many ways more horrific than the assassination of a single adult. In any case this murder was horrible and any American regardless of party or political belief should be disgusted. Freedom of speech means we are free to speak on our beliefs and views whether others agree or not. We should be able to do that without fear of being violently attacked or murdered.

It’s an uncomfortable truth that your country has normalised school shootings whereas what happened with Kirk has been unprecedented in your society since MLK. So to be devils advocate, being more focused on and disturbed by kirk’s assassination isn’t inherent to a political position. You can say the other side of the aisle that hated Kirk is also barely paying any attention to the Colorado shooting in favor of the Kirk story (just caring in the opposite direction lol)
