Brainrot Tiktoker at the Kirk shooting
We might not live in the best timeline, but we sure live in the funniest one.
(no idea if it's satire, but I appreciate the dedication to the bit, especially when he started stealing merch right after)
Jesus will protect you
Dude is a comedic genius
His apology video included the line "I loved Charlie Kirk, he taught me things about Jesus that I didn't even know myself"
It's so fucking funny
This is the dumbest fucking timeline, but the silver lining is that if you’ve got a really dark sense of humor, there are a lot of moments that are deeply hilarious
It feels good to open the news and laugh for once. Every time it's "the world is getting worse" but for ONCE it's "Someone who was making the world worse got what was coming to them"
PROVE ME WRONG, LIBTARDS 🤪
Marksman:
well, okay, if you insist
"It’s actually quite a funny story once you get past all the tragic elements and the overriding sense of doom."

Grifters grifting off of a grifters death is grifting 101.
Grifting off grifters is a double negative so all good.
This is like... how you write the snivelling, untrustworthy, back stabbing, people pleaser, duplicitous 'local guide' archetype/trope character in a movie, with zero subtlety.
Just 110% opportunist.
Fucking wild, man.
E.B. Farnum from Deadwood (the HBO show, anyway. Who knows what he was like in real life?)
I read up on all the real life characters when I finished the show. Apparently the show did him kinda dirty, he was a bit of an intellectual in real life.
Just 110% opportunist
Yeah, America has basically become (and, to an extent, has ALWAYS been) a factory for making endless opportunists, swindlers, and snake oil salesmen
It's a community that rewards and even glorifies grifters. Of course there's going to be people like that.
Satire is dead
Satire is alive and well, selling blood stained merch on the grey web at exorbitant prices.
I think you mean Charlie Kirk?
What a melt, someone was just shot in the neck and this is your reaction, we're is his sense of shame or even his sense of fear and self preservation, it's kinda of psychopathic
It is entirely psychopathic. But it is also the complete textbook incarnation of the predatory capitalism which Tinyface liked to claim himself a supporter of.
I don't think capitalism is forcibly stealing people's private property and just acting like an idiot for clout and fame, I think stuff like that happens in countries of all economic models throughout history
Regardless I agree it's probably psychopathy to a degree, or maybe he was drunk or on drugs who knows
That all seems so american to me. In my lifetime i have seen one person fimling himself talking to a camera for a video. It was in a supermarket and when i walked into the isle awkwardly that he was in, he put his phone away.
That’s true in America too, I don’t really encounter people filming themselves like this. It’s just that there are a looooot of us, which means there are more weirdos as well.
Yeah admit you don't see it most, only time I see people recording in public is with a tripod and that they are street performers
His sense of shame was hiding behind a misplaced apostrophe.
I love that he exhorts everyone to "Go to church on Sunday," and "Read the Book of Mormon," but immediately turns around and steals the now extremely collectible merch. Gotta love those MAGA Christian Values.
I mean, everyone's paying all their attention to the shooting, nobody's going to worry about the merch until later. Pretty ideal situation for a thief.
My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined that this wasn’t the elaborate Harlem Shake drop with a crowd celebrating CKs death that I was expecting.
Bro is going to jail for tampering with a crime scene lol
Sure, someone just got shot and the crowd is panicking and trying to escape.
Let's just stand here in the middle of the exit and fill a video, blocking everyone's way out! Absolutely brilliant.
Well, with the kind of scum listening to people like Kirk, this should net be surprising, should it?
This feels exactly like a Conner O'Malley character and that's horrifying.
I got the feeling that this TikToker has been to several shootings. I imagine you would have to be fairly desenstized to gun violence to get your phone out and make a video about everything.
Why didn’t the shooter save us and shoot this man too?
Everyone running for their lives like cowards. He however sees the opportunity, steals the merch and asks for subscribers. A true American patriot.
This is about as libertarian as it gets. Free market above all else.
I've been saying that the murders of the health care CEO and Charlie Kirk are simply normal Free Market corrections at work, and here is more evidence.
American dream. He is a business owner.
he totally owned that merch business
Someday he’ll make an unhinged post on LinkedIn about seizing opportunity in the face of adversity and we’ll be waiting at !linkedinlunatics@sh.itjust.works
So what does one do with such items? Is there a collector's market for merch sold on the grounds upon whence le charley kirke died like he despicably preached for others not himself?
"It's the tee-shirts and caps from where there was a shooting! Somewhere in 'Murica!"
I think yes. I am pretty sure there is a market for exactly what you just described. I mean, would you be surprised if some right wingnut buys a kirk shirt and places it on his trumpian altar? It doesn't even have to be a cultist. Captain tiny face died in a bombastic way. The morbidity of it could attract collectors.
A media personality died early in a tour, yeah there'll be merch about it
Next thing you know, this guy will win the presidency
That would be very America
What’s the quote: one man’s death is another man’s $$.
