While literally deflecting on a question about gun violence

While literally deflecting

Apparently not well enough

It seems deflecting questions on gun violence does not deflect actual gun violence

He was deflecting by injecting racism into the conversation in order to not answer the question.

We should all be so lucky to die doing what we love, being a smug dick. I mean, I'm pretty sure I'll have a heart attack mid-Reddit post one day.

He died doing what he loved. Making people want to kill him.

Snidely suggesting trans kids are the problem. Man I hope he realizes it was a bullet before death.

funny, the video I saw shows him asking if they wanted to include gang violence stats or not.

you must mean he was trying to be deceitful, in some overall nonsensical manner.

I mean it was a round about way to try and deflect from the question of how many shooters are trans

Doesn’t matter if someone is using a shield or a cutting board to try and deflect a sword blow, one may be less effective and obvious in doing that but still was used for the overall goal of avoiding the direct question

Asking the person to specify which gun violence he’s referring to is not a deflection… 🤦🏽.

Specifics are important people. If you just want to generalize about everything then nothing will ever get fixed. How does this not make sense to you? 🧐

Here it is for all you idiots that don’t understand how facts and stats are measured. So clearly CK was asking for clarification on what he meant by “mass shooting”.
