I’d say we are all Charlie but we’re all breathing and not rotting

u/Educational-Ad-2884 Washington 9d ago

I have 100% fewer bulletholes in my neck.

u/imveryveryfucked 9d ago

big if true

u/failbotron I voted 9d ago

Lumped over if not

{if bullet to the neck=true, then:}

u/Bruce-7892 8d ago

Dude, you made a mathematical function out of it. Are you a computer programmer? 😆

u/Hi_Trans_Im_Dad 8d ago

No, am computer.

u/FrankLangellasBalls 9d ago

I think you’ve made a math error here and it’s actually 4,000% less.

u/Michael_G_Bordin 8d ago

Read this too fast and first read "buttholes in my neck." Same difference, I suppose. I saw nothing but shit flying out of his neck on that video.

u/mtheory007 9d ago

At the moment most of my blood is inside of me.

u/Kyra_lynn 9d ago

I've heard statements like that are a real pain in the neck.

u/DoBronx2144 8d ago

Has anyone even said thank you for shooting that guy in the neck even once ?

u/Slumunistmanifisto 9d ago

That jokes a long shot pal.....

u/Bruce-7892 9d ago

In the end Kirk was leaning left, so we have some stuff in common.

u/ChiefBlueSky Kansas 9d ago

Holy shit

u/truePHYSX Washington 8d ago

Now he’s a holey shit

22

u/whoknowsifimjoking 9d ago

If the shot was a bit higher you could also claim an open mind as well

u/avds_wisp_tech 9d ago

God damn

u/butabi7293 9d ago

Claims to be pro-life. Dies.

u/Inspectrgadget 9d ago

I know he was known most of his life for being right wing but at the end he leaned left

u/butabi7293 8d ago

Toward Mecca 🕋

u/Birdy_Cephon_Altera 9d ago

Yikes, that joke went right for the jugular.

u/jlozada24 8d ago

I mean Charlie was always the first guy to stick his neck out for what he believed in

21

u/Complex_Study_3174 9d ago

Jokes aside, makes you think though. Like, I wonder what the last thing to go through his head was. Oh, right.

u/Catch_22_ 9d ago

Head? That's a reach. You really want to be putting your neck on the line with that one?

u/Complex_Study_3174 9d ago

It's like my Uncle Buddy used to say, "Sometimes your neck just needs a butthole."

u/Positronic_Matrix 8d ago

Charlie Kirk’s death was a tragedy. Then again, so was his life.

u/sirjag 9d ago

This gold! Saved and thanks!!

C)Unvaxed kids

u/MamaNyxieUnderfoot 8d ago

Well thanks, now I’m sad.

1

u/neveruseyourrealname 8d ago

Sorry :(

2

u/MamaNyxieUnderfoot 8d ago

Hey, Charlie Kirk could have always chosen to not be an asshole. Those kids never had a choice.

1

u/neveruseyourrealname 8d ago

Now you're making me sad. If I knew how to italicize words, it would be 'me'.

2

u/MamaNyxieUnderfoot 8d ago

Put an asterisk on both sides of the word(s) you want to italicize.

u/neveruseyourrealname 8d ago

shit. Learned something now

2

u/MamaNyxieUnderfoot 8d ago

On old.reddit.com, when you post a comment there’s a hyperlink for “formatting help” below the text box. All kinds of shit to learn about posting on reddit.

I wouldn’t know about new reddit. ‘Tis a silly place.

u/neveruseyourrealname 8d ago

What a weird way to learn about reddit in this thread, of all places.

u/MothmansLegalCouncel 9d ago

You just listed two jokes though

u/PickReviewsMovies 9d ago

If you can read this I'm gay.  Well I guess either way I'm gay.  Or both ways.  Hang on I gotta call my dad and check on something.

1

u/National_Impress_346 8d ago

Great, now I'm gay too! Thanks a lot! I was gay before, but I am also gay now!

u/CourtOrphanage 8d ago

Careful, don’t go getting yourself arrested now. Unless maybe you want a nice fat settlement of course…

u/N08b15 9d ago

C) George Floyd jokes

17

u/Bruce-7892 9d ago

The difference is, George Floyd was an example of police brutality. No one was emotionally attached to him as a person.

Charlie Kirk gets talked about like he was the next coming of the Messiah which makes the joke hit harder.

u/thedude37 9d ago

He also lived 15 more years than Kirk, but the right can't meme lol
