Pray for healing and a miracle. Getting word that #charliekirk has been stabilized. I pray it is true. If it is THAT IS A SECOND MIRACLE. 1. Trump. 2. Kirk. The hospital is taking blood now. Our God is a God of Miracles. In Jesus name.

I don't pray to a god that let's kids die from their gun shot wounds, but saves this person.

There is an AI-altered video circulating showing a close up of a bullet going into Charlie Kirk's neck.

The shooting of Charlie Kirk is real. His injury is real. The long-range video of the shooting is real. But the close-up video that just started circulating is AI.

Don't share AI-generated videos of real events. It creates confusion and causes people to doubt the reality of actual videos depicting real life.

DCUM regulars are not politicians. But, yes, Newsom has more decency and compassion than Trump, too.

At least Trump's consistent. He's done what he can.

“We must all pray for Charlie Kirk, who has been shot,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

“A great guy from top to bottom. GOD BLESS HIM!” the president continued.

The POTUS swore to uphold the Constitution, including the First Amendment. There is a huge difference between "thoughts and prayers" and the POTUS saying "We MUST ALL pray..." (emphasis mine). Where's his press secretary to edit his comments to make sure he doesn't screw up like that?

Did he say we MUST ALL pray for the school shooting? That is a good catch.

What, are you a right wing influencer? Why now?

If you are some sort of political figure, your likelihood of being shot is even higher.

Charlie Kirk was ok with this. I am not, but it seems absurd to give him sympathy when he is one of the architects of the current order that put himself in danger. I don’t want him to be shot- I don’t want anyone to be shot. But it’s important that political figures are not insulated from the reality that the rest of us all live with.

+1000. Charlie Kirk wanted unlimited access to guns for everyone. I'll save my sympathy for innocent school children and people who support reasonable gun control.

In this country, we don’t shoot people for saying things we don’t like.

I have yet to see anything other than outrage at political violence and prayers for Kirk, on Blueskye/the left. I am curious as that what posts you are seeing that are causing problems for you.

Chris Kluwe reposted the “me sowing/me reaping” meme. Also lots of people posting that clip where he says “unfortunately we are going to have some gun deaths.”

As I said in my follow up, tasteless but not justifying it and most posts are rightly condemning.

I am not seeing the problem with posting Kirk's own quotes.

Because all gun violence should be condemned. Mentioning that quote the context of a convo or an article about him would be fine but simply posting that (and only that) moments after he’s been shot is different and if you can’t see that I don’t know what to tell you.

It’s the type of reaction Trump would have if someone he was opposed to was shot, tbh. Personally, I don’t want to be anything like Trump but maybe you don’t mind it.

NP. Your belief is that all gun violence should be condemned, but that's not Charlie Kirk's belief. He thinks gun violence, and specifically political gun violence, is valuable enough that the power to commit such violence should be a constitutional right.

You are full of shit.

"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. Nobody talks like this. They live in a complete alternate universe."

I shouldn't have watched the video. It's truly awful.

The turn that we are taking in country is truly appalling - our inability to listen, and talk rather than shout each other down just makes me sick.

Where is civil debate and discourse?

Not a Trump supporter at all, think he is truly the worst thing to happen to US politics.

It’s been in this thread, unless Jeff has deleted those posts.

So you are talking about anonymous random people who might just as well be right wingers posting as leftists. How about going with epople who are actually signing their names or posting under their verified accounts instead?

If we don't stop going down this path, soon we will see kids will be dying in churches, and no one will do anything about it.

Nothing real was done after Sandy Hook. It was clear that the 2A defendants and NRA have too large a lobby. Gun sales go UP after mass shootings.

Pretty clear he was shot in the chest, almost center mass. It looked like it was directly at his heart.

No, his neck was shot, it’s a brutal wound.

Agree. Not a chest shot. It was really upsetting and I’m not a fan of Kirk. But eeek that was bad. Wish I could un-see that!!

No, we just shoot kids in schools and churches.

So is it real, or not? I watched it and it doesn't seem real.
