Before the bullets arrived, he answered some final questions about gun crime.
Consider that a distance of approximately 130 meters is sufficient for any armed individual to successfully execute this shooting, ignoring all natural factors and requiring only 30 minutes of training. The shooter was clearly professional, and his practice has put to rest the debate about whether wearing body armor and helmets improves survival: The bullet slit the carotid artery, and we knew that a larger caliber would have easily severed the neck. Mr. Kirk did not survive for more than one minute after the firing. That was the decisive shot.
We've witnessed half the nation ecstatic and half indignant. The man who wanted to create his idea of heaven on earth has been taken to heaven by the God he believes in, leaving behind the people of world to fiercely fight for whether he is an "idol-like martyr" or a "demon deserves punishment." Most of us, I guess, are neither as loving as the Virgin Mary to mortal in the world, nor as indifferent to every others as the solitary elf; And history has proven again and again how direct violence has become a continuation of politics, how it has an immediate effect, and how the party that takes the initiative attack gains the upper hand in limited confrontations.
Indeed, Mr. Kirk passed away in answering questions, so there are some questions that he can no longer answer. If you decide to be an openly political figure, and your ideas resolutely abandon the unity of your entire audience, should you be fully prepared to be assassinated at any time? You don't seem like someone who despises the value of his own life, and you obviously don't want this moment when blood spurts from your carotid artery to be the only time in your life when your head tilts to the left, so where does your arrogance or confidence come from? Have you ever known anything about the former president John F. Kennedy of your nation, or presidente chileno Allende, or Shushō Itō Hirobumi of the Meiji era Japanese Empire, or the world-famous Erzherzog Franz Ferdinand, or Obergruppenführer Reinhard Heydrich (probably your idol?), how did these someone die? When confront with your beliefs somewhere else we don’t know yet, would you admit that your statements about the Second Amendment and your daughter's pregnancy were your own, and no one forced you to say them?
The information released by police about the shooter included elements of diversity and anti-fascism, lo and behold, here it comes, and you, who claim to be a masculine righty, can't even protect yourself from your beloved bullet. Not everyone who survives is to be celebrated, and not everyone who dies is to be mourned. I don't consider myself a lefty, but it's clear that any normal person with a thorough modern education would be happy to press a button that would have killed Adolf Hitler, Heinrich Himmler, or Joseph Goebbels in 1938, even though it didn't actually exist.
Charlie Kirk, maybe you really want to be that SS-Obergruppenführer, Black Prince of the Third Reich, Blond Beast imagined by Nietzsche. But in fact, only that lame man who speaks well-well-reasoned in public but is ashamed to talk about his disability, and who can't help but turn left at the last moment of life, you are.
