■IfCharlie Kirk had been aliberal activist instead of aconservative, how doyou think the media and politicians would have reacted tohis death?

The fa ct that wegot multiple fairly high-res videos of the bullet hittinghis neck andblood gushingout does make adifference. Thenews gets sharedmore andmore people engagewith thenews out ofshock value and morbid fascination, which givesit more traction.

HadPaul Pelosi been shot while several cameras were filmingit,it would have also become much bigger thanit became.

Edit:lol the comments really bring the average redditor reading comprehension out on display. People really seem to think I'm saying that Republicans are lovely defenders offree speech orsomething to that effect.It's fuckingweird.

The video elevatesit quite abit.

I rememberRay Rice (nfl player)domestic assault cameout. Some criticism, couple game suspension.

Then the video cameout. Publicoutcry. Fullseason suspension. Cut fromhis team.

Therewas no new info in the video. But seeingsomething happen changesperception.

Edit: for the record Idon't agree with Kirk's ideologyand am not defending ambivalenceon other killings. I justthink it hits different.
