Very sad, folks. Very sad. Just look at what they did the new brand new statue. The thing was only just unveiled! Goodness!
They marked the neck at least.
Charlie wouldn’t want the truth washed away
Next time they should use thermite...
My gut says there's a 40% chance they did this themselves to try and gain sympathy. They thought Kirk would be their Horst Wessel, but public opinion never went their way. Less than a month in and they couldn't even get Jimmy Kimmel fired. A year in and everyone finds the Kirk widow off-putting. Thanks to Candice Owens, they're even reduce to arguing with own supporters about whether Erika Kirk and the Mossad had Charlie killed. I could see this being a last ditch effort to regain narrative control.
Idk if it were a false flag thing they probably would have spraypainted some dumb shit like "A TRANS ANTIFA DID THIS MUHAHAHA" or "IM SO GAY FOR CHARLIE" or something obvious like that, because they lack subtlety.
or “left is best” as was done previously
I think a paintball gun would be a better choice next time. They'll put up more cameras, another fence, etc. A gun would be faster and they could stand back a ways.
They should leave it like this. That thing is never staying clean.
He was a social media influencer, not an activist. Everything he did was for attention or profit.
I don't cry for a man who called for the stoning of gays.
Instead, we can all laugh for the man who fought hard to change the world for others and got to experience that world for himself.
This level of poetic justice happens so rarely.
The most useful thing he ever did was die
Anyone can die
But it takes a special kind of person to become the victim of gun violence while publicly defending gun violence.
Absolute legend.
I'm so proud of him.
His wife agrees. But, she apparently has failed to capitalize on the event as much as she hoped to.
He died doing what he loved, celebrating gun violence.
Remember that guy who spent $10k making a statue of Kirk? It's not even that statue they have outside lol. Some how two statues of this man!?
His face is far too big on his head, doesn't even look like him.
Counting or not counting gang vandalism?
Maybe get a statue of Hitler and Mussolini as well, oh, dont forget Pol Pot and one of trump.
Pretty sure it was delivered like that. Nothing to see here.
He wasn't a Nazi, He just said a bunch of egregious stuff that people who hate Nazis hate
The pose they chose for him is throwing hats? Really?
Moving merch in life and death.
The irony that he is now immortlized as "brown".
it's weird that his statue just did that.
It's a communal art project. Everyone gets to participate.
A distinct improvement if you ask me. I'm sort of an expert.
Hebe, the British were smarter. They put Margaret Thatcher on a rather high and hard to climb pedestal.
Some people have resorted to play "Ding, Dong, the witch is dead" on full blast from their BT speakers in that park, though.
will there be one for erika having a wwe style celebration event?
If turning point had any decency at all I would feel like this was inappropriate. And so I say, GOOD!
Who?
Some guy known for his neck pain
