• “Do you know how many mass shooters there have been in America in the last 10 years?” a person asks. “Counting or not counting gang violence?” Kirk responds right before he is shot.

    Shooter fired from a building 200 yards away and managed to give him the most stunningly ironic last words. It honestly seems contrived.

    And apparently he’d been in contact with the trump administration, through frequent calls and texts with Vance, all through trump’s campaign and presidency. Wonder how they’ll deal with a seemingly immensely important person leaving so suddenly.

      the most stunningly ironic last words

      Something happening while you’re talking about it isn’t irony.

      If it was a gang hit that killed him it would be, but I doubt that’s the case.

        I think it’s still close enough to make it into the lyrics of a song about being ironic, if one were written today. You know, like rain on your wedding day lol
