Pray for Charlie Kirk

[Shaka Shart]

Since he's not a white Christian male, he was obviously a DEI hire. Just goes to show what happens when you don't hire the straight white Christian male.

He's snorting enough white to get grandfathered in?

[CreightonWarrior]

What do people think about the head of the FBI coming out and saying they had "the subject for the horrific shooting...in custody," when it was not the individual involved.

That's pretty embarrassing, and horrible investigative/police work.

im sure he has some conspiracy theories.

[The Sultan]

Damn I wasn't totally sure yet but this place is really a hellhole.  Enjoy your trannies and assassins.  I'm out

Before this incident, the last time you posted here was four-plus years ago when you talked about how bad the Shaka hire was and that we would have been better with Porter Moser.

We will miss your keen insights.

Are we coming together yet?

I want the murderer found and justice served.  It is my suspicion that the truth about the shooter, his background, his politics, his motivation, are not going to line up with the mania.   An even bigger question is if my suspicions are correct, will facts matter?

No, they won't

This country has a perfect mix of ingredients, a declining common belief in values, an abundance of mentally ill, conspiracy theorists, radicalizing social media, plus easy access to guns. 

The only thing we should be surprised about is that political violence isn't happening more often.

...and why should we be surprised about that? Political violence is nothing knew. I lived it: JKF, Lee Harvey Oswald, Malcom X, George Wallace, MLK and RFK Sr, not to mention all the lesser known Civil Rights leaders in the south who were also murdered.

Don't worry, loser, you won't be missed.

people living on the fringe aren't looking for facts, they're just looking for an excuse

Mad about being called Nazi's, yet call this a Reichstag moment.  You can't write the stupidity

Interesting thing to do.  Advertising their mental instability like that.

Consider that they may line up with the mania and that the truth no longer matters.  Only what runs first and the reaction it causes.

A truly chilling world we've made for ourselves.

[tower912]

Indeed.   Reaping what has been sown.

I don't celebrate political violence. Incidents like this tend to beget more incidents like this. Kirk supporters will use it as a justification to enact violence on the people they paint as "opponents" and it will only further divide us as a nation.

That said, I'm not sure anyone has done more to stoke that division over the past 13 years than Kirk. I keep seeing how he's a "Christian" yet the things he says about immigrants, minority communities, and the poor are about as antithetical to the words of Jesus Christ as one can be. His comments on gun violence only underscore how he's a victim of the violence he claimed was good for our country.

In the long run, this will make things worse, not better. I expect it will push us further apart and lead to more violence. And the victims most likely will be people that had nothing to do with any of this.

Person who uses "trannies" as a derogatory slur thinks he has captured the moral high ground

Yes.

I am not celebrating his death, but I also will not be celebrating his life.

You spelled Kash wrong.

He also called for the public execution of people that thwarted Trump. Public executions, sponsored by corporations. Not of criminals, just people that opposed Trump's agenda.

This is a guy that feed the bonfire of hate gallons and gallons of gasoline because it made him rich. Eventually it consumed him.

He supposedly paid to bus and house people to attend a rally where they assaulted law enforcement officers and tried to overturn a fair election.

A person engaging in peaceful political discourse and open debate in the United States was assassinated for it.

This should give all of us pause as Americans.

I don't think he should have been killed. Also the world is better when some people aren't in it. He was a man filled with hate.

I've seen every prominent democratic politician come out and denounce this. Prominent people outside of politics, that vehemently disagree with everything Kirk has ever said, vehemently denounce this.

These people highlight the lengthy trend in violence towards political figures, which has been overwhelmingly directed at those on the left.

This build up of hate driven dialogue, and hate-driven politics has been giving many/most Americans pause for a while.

All the above said, most of what I've seen where individuals might be thinking that a person/poster is celebrating this heinous attack, is not celebrating (in my opinion), rather them trying to highlight who Charlie Kirk was, and what some of those "beliefs" were as counterpoints to his being celebrated as a saint/martyr.

Very first sentence: victim blaming.

Second paragraph:
Sentence one: how magnanimous of you.
Sentence two: you are not sincere about sentence one.
Sentence three: hate is the new shorthand word for stuff one does not agree with.
