Offensive stereotypes are only offensive because of how lazy they are, not because they speak truth to power. The purpose of Bill Burr’s set was to incite and to serve as a self-congratulatory exercise to show the woke mob that he dared to be offensive. It wasn’t actually funny.
The offended reactions are a part of the performance—there is value in that, but it isn’t humor. As a stand-alone comedy removed from contemporaneous cultural context, none of Burr’s jokes were particularly original or laughter-inducing. Cringe.
And if Burr truly wanted to be brave without pulling any punches, he’d have made fun of minorities instead of woke white women—a “safe” target for leftist mockery.
From what I can gather the victim slapped the shooter, at which point the shooter aimed his gun and cocked it. The victim and shooter used the mace/fired the gun at the same time.
This was all happening while the guy in the Black Guns Matter shirt was agitating the crowd. The shooter likely tried to intervene somehow and got slapped as a result, at which point the rest happened.
Important context: man in “Black Guns Matter” shirt urges conservatives to mace him. “F*ck around and find out,” he says. Another man shoots the victim off screen during the altercation.
The shooter in Denver.
The agitator then celebrates the victim’s death. He is just as guilty as the shooter.
They were a good source of unbiased coverage during the Lancaster, PA riots and now the only coverage of the riot that exists is from left-wing accounts.
The SPLC got it shut down because a Russian site mirrored their content. That is a bit much.
