We might not live in the best timeline, but we sure live in the funniest one.

(no idea if it’s satire, but I appreciate the dedication to the bit, especially when he started stealing merch right after)

    Everyone running for their lives like cowards. He however sees the opportunity, steals the merch and asks for subscribers. A true American patriot.

      So what does one do with such items? Is there a collector’s market for merch sold on the grounds upon whence le charley kirke died like he despicably preached for others not himself?

      “It’s the tee-shirts and caps from where there was a shooting! Somewhere in 'Murica!”

        I think yes. I am pretty sure there is a market for exactly what you just described. I mean, would you be surprised if some right wingnut buys a kirk shirt and places it on his trumpian altar? It doesn’t even have to be a cultist. Captain tiny face died in a bombastic way. The morbidity of it could attract collectors.

          With a big enough market there will always be buyers. There’s like a hundred million of these psychos in the USA, how many shirts and caps was this, a couple dozen? Yeah they’ll sell. Just look at that bath water girl or she sold her farts or whatever the fuck it was

          Now that you mention it, there was an old shoe repairman in my town, among other knickknacks he had a piggy bank on a shelf, but it was like a bust of JFK, and the coin slot was right where Oswald supposedly “acted alone”.

          But le charlee kercke is like scraping the bottom of the barrel on that political and cultural scale.
