Nonetheless, many others knew of him solely as a self-help advocate and motivational speaker for white Christians. Till his loss of life, these teams didn’t appear to find out about this “different aspect” to the person.
To be blunt, Tekashi 6ix9ine is utilizing “Charlie Kirk” as a verb. It’s shorthand for “assassinated” on this context.
Or, much more merely, it’s shorthand for “shot.”
Both approach, it’s not one thing that they might need to occur to them.

All of them know that they might anger the fallacious individuals and find yourself paying the value. However that didn’t occur throughout Tuesday’s stream.
To be truthful, somebody COULD roll up on them and begin capturing
As TMZ has famous, this was the first sighting of Antonio Brown since his launch from county jail on Thursday of final week.
He had been in custody in Dubai, then confronted extradition again to Miami.
Brown is dealing with a second diploma cost of tried homicide with a lethal weapon.
Allegedly, he tried to shoot one other man at an Adin Ross boxing occasion. (Small world, huh?)
However, as Tekashi 6ix9ine predicted, he didn’t get shot. “Charlie Kirk” is, nevertheless, a fairly tasteless euphemism to make use of on a livestream (regardless of the way you felt about Kirk), and can hopefully not catch on.
