This isn't something that used to need to be said. The really sad fact is that they even had to remind people that you shouldn't victim blame.

Did it? Is Medal of Freedom recipient Rush Limbaugh too beneath mainstream? How about Fox News pundits after Paul Pelosi was attacked?

I don't think this is new.

Sounds like it's the American equivalent of the British knighting people.

There is a certain irony however in being shot by a straight white 22 year old RWNJ while standing in front of a sign saying prove me wrong as you’re in the middle of talking about how blacks and trans people are the real problem when it comes to mass shootings.

You can say it wasn’t his fault but damn… talk about fucking up your threat model.

Interesting to look back at yesterday's comments here and in other online spaces. People like jumping to the conclusions they've prepared for themselves.

The comment you're replying to is not from yesterday, and it's factually incorrect.

> a straight white 22 year old RWNJ

I had to look up this acronym. Apparently it stands for "right-wing nut job".

I genuinely don't understand how you came to this conclusion.

As an update: GP was flagged and killed, and there is now compelling evidence that the shooter was indeed not a "RWNJ": https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45269539

Yeah, why are we talking about this random white supremacist like he's Princess Diana? That's the most disturbing part of this.

Why did his casket get flown home in Air Force Two? He's not a government representative (well...).

No such thing for the Democrat senator in MN (in fact, Trump hasn't even spoken of that, IIRC)...

Or the kids shot in Colorado the same day...

But here we have the US military carrying Charlie Kirk in a flag-draped coffin onto the Vice President's jet.

What the actual fuck?
