    His last words were “Counting or not counting gang violence?” when asked about mass shootings. He died as he lived, spewing bullshit.

      to be explicit, it was a racist dogwhistle. It was like someone didn’t just assassinate him, it was as though it was “oh yeah , another bullshit “Um AKSHUALLY” ? All right fucking shut the hell up”

        I appreciate this, it seems like no one is making this explicit.

        His last words were exactly who he was as a person. No one should ever forget.

        I couldn’t help but think the exact timing was a reaction to how shitty what he was saying was. Like they lost their cool and pulled the trigger because they couldn’t stand his bile for another moment.

      I seriously thought the shooter was in the crowd because of that. It seemed just soooo on the nose. Someone even says “Good” just before the shot, I thought it was the shooter thinking this was going to make the perfect clip.

      Can’t imagine having a dog whistle as my last words.

            Just saying peeps, the video is not blurry, and it’s up close from the front-ish row. Please don’t watch it if you haven’t seen shooting violence before or have any question about your ability to witness something like that. It’s not unclear whether he lives or not. He very clearly is instantly killed while upright.
