Charlie Kirk was a Great Big Jerk

Charlie Kirk was a Great Big Jerk

I wonder if he thought that he was immune?
Like it couldn’t happen if he was in the room…
That the lives being lost were disposable like mine,


Never mind that the Second Amendment is this constitutional right
That is really a privilege in the function of being WHITE
Because, although my dad was a gunsmith, and I’ve been hands-on for a chunk of my life
I’ve never walked into a gun store and seen people of color welcomed inside.
When the hand that pulls the trigger is attached to a minority life
Suddenly, this sacred right becomes a crime
But when a privileged white boy shoots up a school it’s fine?

I do not understand how you could fail to see the line

When asked to account for mass shooting deaths,
He answered with conjecture, without regard for the lives wrecked
Without numbers or knowledge or a single fact
Blaming trans people, and minorities, when they’re already under attack.

I can’t help but notice you’re fine with that, but clutch your pearls when we fight back.

To hell with that.
