I have no idea who this is!
But apparently he was sniped in the neck right after making the argument that Second Amendment rights are worth a few deaths. Not sure if ironic or just bad luck. Did he lose that argument, or win it? The world may never know.
Vitrol and bile!
So yeah apparently the left hates this dude and they were all somewhat celebrating his death and making jokes about it for the last couple of days. Of course that pisses off all the right wingers who liked the guy. Left calls him a Nazi and a racist as per usual. Right says that's an absurd overreaction to his takes. Again, this is the first I'm hearing about Charlie Kirk ever so I really have no take to give.

What I will say is...
If a prominent left wing figure was assassinated the right would have responded in similar fashion, so I'm pretty confident in the assessment that both sides are absolutely insufferable hypocrites that endlessly debate about their own shit not stinking. We've reached this point in late-state imperialistic "capitalism" where every election the losing side blames the winning side of cheating, "But we would never cheat no no no that's ridiculous."
Zero personal accountability.
~~Zero~~ One perspective.
Reactionary.
Screeching.
Undisciplined.
Childish.
Annoying.
Welcome to the internet!
Conspiracy theory
I saw multiple people on my timeline making absurd claims that the shooter MUST BE a professional assassin because he shot Kirk at 200 yards in the neck. Like yo I don't know if you've never shot a gun before or ever watched a war movie, but while a strike to the neck is technically a hit, you would never actually aim for the neck. Which means the shooter missed what they were aiming for... which was obviously a head-shot. I'm not like a ballistics expert or anything but gravity pulls the bullet downwards in an parabolic arc. This is not rocket science (actually ballistics is really similar to rocket science but whatever).
This same thing happened when Luigi Mangione allegedly shot the CEO of United Healthcare (Brian Thompson, was it?). Everyone was like oh look at the video clearly this is a professional hit! I don't know what people's obsession is with mafioso-style executions but can we not. It was just some guy.
Other's still are convinced that Israel killed him through the Mossad intelligence network. Seriously guys. Why? This is not a high value target. Please cease and desist. I mean I'll probably look into that angle at some point but not today I just can't.
They arrested a suspect a couple hours ago.
Apparently this guy admitted that he did it and a family member turned him in? Hm, yeah I mean I know I just ripped on conspiracy theories but that's exactly the kind of cover story I'd use when employing the most extensive and illegal surveillance network the world the world has ever seen. It's always funny to see grainy videos from people's front yards when there's a high res camera on every street light and they can zoom in on your face from a satellite from space.

Authorities, who have described Kirk’s killing as a “political assassination,” discovered anti-fascist messages engraved on ammunition with a rifle near the site of the shooting that hint at that political transformation, Cox said.
Those messages included one that said, “Hey fascist! Catch!” and another that appeared to reference an Italian anti-fascist song.
Hm yes Luigi allegedly pulled the same stunt with the defend/deny/depose bullets.
Well I guess that's that!
Notice how all these super high stakes shootings get "solved" in short order. And the way they get solved is never because of the rampant illegal surveillance network that people like Edward Snowden tried to warn us about over ten years ago (imagine how much progress has been made since then).

Never let a crisis go to waste!
And here we see the Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy and Homeland Security stoking the conflict while acting high and mighty as he continues to break the law and justify giving himself more illegal power that violates the constitutional privacy of every American on a daily basis. Love that for us.
Conclusion
Pretty messed up situation.
But entertaining nonetheless.
How much longer will I be subjected to this train wreck?
And how much longer will I add fuel to the fire by reporting on it?
