Excerpt:
Want to boil your blood? Head over to Walmart.com right now and punch in “Kirk Shooter”—boom, up pops a slew of t-shirts eerily matching the one worn by Tyler Robinson, the radical leftist assassin who gunned down conservative giant Charlie Kirk. We’re talking the same black tee with an American flag and bald eagle, emblazoned with “Land of the Free, Home of the Brave,” priced around $25 a pop from third-party sellers. It’s not just insensitive; it’s like profiting off a patriot’s blood, turning a murder weapon’s wardrobe into merch while Kirk’s family grieves and the nation reels from political violence.




The hell?!  Should be taken down immediately!

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.
I see this a little differently. Patriots won't wear that particular shirt, because it is associated with the shooter, but those who seek it and wear it are only advertising their callous disregard or feelings of solidarity with the shooter.

Let them advertise, but check to see if they got the shirt for donating to a veterans support group (I think I got one like that a few years ago, but don't recall which group sent it to me), or whether they just bought it.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

So if the shooter had worn a don't tread on me T-shirt would that forever make that shirt unacceptable?

I say don't let your enemies dictate what you do. Think for yourself.

Just like when people say I'm against this or that because someone they greatly dislike is for that particular thing. Trump provides great examples of that. If Trump came out and said he liked ice cream the knee jerk left would be out protesting ice cream. Don't be them.

Very reason I proudly sport the CBF as my screen icon .  For 90% of us, it is a sign of honoring our ancestor's valor and bravery, and nothing can change that.

And to that little turd who used to post and flaunt WT's Sherman's pic here,..... stick it up your ass.
I display the Confederate Battle Flag in honor of my great great great grandfathers who spilled blood at Wilson's Creek and Shiloh.  5 others served in the WBTS with honor too.

I can just see the fellow that made the shirt, thinking, well it is doing fair, got the design into Walmart and it is selling fair.... then this happens.

Designer: Well crap, back to the drawing boards.

I can't help but wonder when this shirt first became available. Just because some nutcase wore it may not make bad.

It reminds me of one I got for donating to a veteran's organization a few years back.

It may not be the same, and I gave the shirt to one of my grandkids because it was too small for me.

No, I don't see the shirt as bad, but there are vendors advertising it as a "Charlie Kirk shooter's shirt", and that would make me keep it in the drawer.

Oh good God.

This short and design has been around a long time.  Seen it plenty even in my lib region.

Now, if you’re upset about the WORDS in a Search associated with it, maybe.  Even then, some conservatives may search for it based on this.

Not a real big deal.

Uhm, that’s why it has a crossbar through it.  That signals an F.

For those of us who can read cursive, sure. But if you look at the title at the bottom of the image, someone got it wrong.

This is prolly an algorithmic burp, and likely not Wally World's fault. Likely they employ one of the large search engines to handle searches onsite - Probably Google - And the search engine is returning according to popular online searches.

It's not anything, the shirt is just linked to the shooter because he wore it. It's not political at all.
