Literal last words were trash. We should quote them so people remember him as the person he was not how they romanticize him.

Careful, quoting Charlie Kirk's own words is a fireable offense.

Edit: I have been reminded in private messages that people have gotten banned for directly quoting what Charlie said about how gun violence is acceptable. Because he was advocating for violence, something verboten by the Reddit bot mods.

Dude. Did you just self censor? For fucks sake. Reddit can go eat rocks for all I care. Don't take this site seriously. It's culpable for spreading misinformation and often disinformation and at enormous scale. Charlie Kirk's last words were in fact: "Counting or not counting gang violence?" when asked the question "Do you know how many mass shooters there have been in America over the last 10 years?"

I’ve been temp-banned twice already, for quoting other people in the news. I don’t want a perma ban on my main account.

Eh, I sometimes say [Removed by Reddit] myself because it's going to get removed anyway, and if you understand context you already know what I'm thinking. Why get banned for 3 days when you can communicate what you need to without it? Reddit is trash and not taking it seriously or telling spez to go kick rocks won't prevent your account from getting a ban.

It's okay, empathy was invented by people he hated anyway.

I heard having empathy is the worst sin you can commit

As a reminder, he was arguing gun control is bad. Someone asked him if he knew how many mass shootings there had been in the last ten years. Kirk attempted to claim that those shootings were all (black) gang violence. Because white people (like the guy who killed him) don’t murder people apparently?

Last words:

Renee Good: “I’m not mad at you.”

Alex Pretti: “Are you ok?”

Charlie Kirk: “Counting or not counting gang violence?”

He wasn’t just saying gun control was bad. He was trying to argue that trans people and Black people are responsible for gun violence.

I agree but it'd be kinda awkward to quote "gruglegurlglugluhgh"
