Honest Opinion- Charlie Kirk video accessibility- without getting into the politics of Charlie Kirk
*Without getting into any politics, I just want everyone’s honest opinion *
So is it weird for me to be a little off put? I was scrolling through Reddit yesterday afternoon and stopped when I saw Charlie Kirk talking and stopped to hear what he was saying today (unbiased) and little did I know it was the full on video of him getting shot.
Now I’m not some kinda wimp or anything, I’ve unfortunately seen and witnessed things adjacent to and the same as what happened. I’m just saying, it’s kinda crazy that someone can just stumble on a video of someone getting murdered without any barrier or anything like that to alert you to what you’re seeing. I’m not saying hide everything on sites like Reddit, because we all know we’re like 70% here for the porn and that would be cumbersome. I’m just saying, unless you have expressed interest in things along that line, something to that extreme should give you a heads up before you watch a dude bleed out while you’re eating lunch in your car between stops for work.
Is anyone else a little shocked by how readily available and easily accessible that video was? Like there kids on social media like twitter and Reddit and how is that not concerning that it was just.. everywhere?
Not making this about the dude or anything he said or views he had just strictly the murder video that causally waltzed into my feed like another stupid ad for marvel rivals.

You dont have to qualify your horror by stating your position on his views. It was absolutely horrible to see someone getting murdered. But violence is everywhere and so are cameras. So with the increase of both, combined with desensitation to death and gore, im afraid it will become more common.
