And as @Steal Your Face has already demonstrated, they won't wait for facts to come in before blaming "the left." And even when the facts come in to show that it wasn't "the left," they will ignore reality like they always do.
Well, if it's anything like the assassination attempts against Trump, they'll have to go after themselves.
Well, let's see... did he immediately get to his feet and do a fist in the air? No. He laid on the ground bleeding out. Because blood capsules don't generate that kind of spray. So fuck off.
Looking at the close-up footage, I'd be astonished if he survived. And to anyone celebrating this, two bits of advice: don't underestimate the effect of martyrdom; and don't legitimize tactics with your responses.
Everyone that justifies children getting shot "because that's the cost of the second amendment" absolutely deserves to be shot in the neck themselves. It's good and right that they pay the same price they're happy making others pay. Unfortunately.
I bet if the shooter says they did it for Palestine you'll immediately flip to insisting we all have a responsibility and moral obligation to fight tyranny and occupation by any means necessary.
That exact thing already happened and I didn't say anything of the sort. There's a basic level of moral consistency against people being shot in public that you ought to try some time.
Other than George Floyd's death also involving a neck, there are no similarities. You're comparing apples to snake oil.
People always say shit like this, but other than Franz Ferdinand, when has the assassination of high level individuals not weakened their organizations or movements? Hilarious, conservatives don't give a fuck about what the left considers legitimate.

Let me help you with the potential similarity: "Millions of people, outraged by unjust death, are motivated to political action."
While I won't encourage people to shoot commentators like Kirk, I won't pretend to be outraged either. This guy made his money by being intentionally divisive and provocative. If he got shot after advocating for as few gun restrictions as possible, I'm not going to shed a tear. I will instead revel in the irony.
Yes, you expect some people to be absolute ghouls after an event like this. Kind of like people saying a school shooting is a hoax right after it happens
