Why would we care in Europe about a fascist US citizen dying on his own soil? He’s just some random dude for us. More concerning are the murders of school children and the Epstein files.

Why would they? He's a frickin podcaster, not some virtuous political figure gunned down doing their duty to the public. He was paid to be at an event to promote himself and his agenda.

There was no uproar, no one cares.

If you’re gonna be silent for a minute every time some American is gunned to death we’d never be able to talk

Why is this relevant to EU? Some US podcaster has died... Not anyone important

We don't care. We also would not hold a moment of silence if Joe Rogan was shot.

He was some right-wing idiot influencer, what do you expect?

Should we have a minute of silence if some Putin propagandist in Russia dies? Wtf why is this a topic at all?

What's with the Trump fd little girls on Epstein island, can we get back to that?

Thank you EU for not glorifying yet another Hitler wannabe! "Never Again" means just that!

Interesting. Release the Epstein files.

Would you say Charlie's proposal was... shot down?

Good on the EU Parliament

Good, why should the EU care? This whole political scene is just US doing its best to try and escalate bad relations with EU.

fuck that kirk idiot and the usa

The far right, or even the normal right (who I believe to be idiots anyway) are completely silent with regard to the hundreds of kids killed by armed assailants in US schools.

Probably the fastest and easiest ”no” in European Parliament history.

Why should anyone hold a vigil? The guy was essentially a loudmouthed pundit. A nobody. This is a cynical power grab by fascists. They try to weaponize everything. A moment of thanks and a toast to his passing would be more appropriate.

Never heard of Charlie Kirk before the big news.

No uproar. Fascists got told no by the majority.

They can always go have a viking funeral, or sacrifice a goat, or slice their arms while ululating, or whatever the hell those people do, just not in the European Parliament.

"Should we have a moment of silence?"

"Absolutely not! He was a Nazi propagandist!"

"Fair enough. Moving on...."

Trump is going to find out soon how ANTIFA the world really is.

Imagine the world boycotting the US?

Of course, Russia won't be able to help because that will give up the ghost between Trump and Putin. And Putin will have the last laugh as the old Soviet counter to capitalism comes to fruition.

Crystal ball into the past

Keep in mind this man defected and is pushing Western anti socialist propaganda.

His theory of social manipulation is what is important in this video.

Kirk is NOT A HERO

So I'm an American. I'm not understanding when this moment of silence was supposed to happen. Usually an event or a game we care about, this might happen for someone truly influential. I was out of the know so I went to learn.

What the MEP(whatever tf they are) was asking, is that the European Parliament take a minute of silence during their Plenary.

A plenary session or plenum is a session of a conference or deliberative assembly in which all parties or members are present. Such a session may include a broad range of content, from keynotes to panel discussions, and is not necessarily related to a specific style of presentation or deliberation.

Would US congress or senate take a moment of silence for a social influencer on either side of the spectrum for any other nation?

That is a rhetorical question. Nice try, but this is only "news" on social media where nobody would have known or cared about it if someone didn't post about it.

Our own government won't even do it. Football season is starting fresh and they didn't do it. Why the fuck would another nation give a shit???

Influencer = just some guy. If he was close to you, go have your own moment of silence.

Who is this guy Kirk and why would EU Parlament hold a minute of silence? Seriosly, he is just another gun violence victim in US, not EU problem. Not even US problem, every idiot can have a gun so "you ask for it".

Why the fuck should they hold a minute's silence for this piece of shit anyway. He was an asshole in life, he got shot for his troubles and now the far right are trying to make a martyr of him Horst Wessel style. And that includes some some fellow traveller who happens to be an MEP in this instance.

I bet that 99% of Europeans didn't know who this loser was.

Why would they?

They say influencer. I say it’s Propaganda.

The USA is starting to have a social justice assassin problem.

Oh no! Anyways.

I never suspected that Charlie Kirk was deemed more important or valuable than all of those schoolchildren (past, present and future) that were killed by gun violence. I expect Solomon Grundy to cause some shit later today in this bizarro world.

They are pushing OTHER countries to hold vehicles WTF?!?!?!

Oh this is brilliant!

Good on EU...

Turning Point and Turning Point UK are funded by the same group of people that they are.
