Charlie Kirk Shot and killed

[RockyTop140]

A conservative is not going to retaliate. We would have retaliated a long time ago because conservatives tend to have morality and they tend to understand that there is a God that is greater than them. The left does not believe that

A God fearing conservative won’t. But there are plenty of lunatics on the right as well.

Christians have always been viewed as polarizing. And have been persecuted for their beliefs as long as they have existed. They get chopped up and slaughtered in the middle east and China on a regular basis. For beliefs that don't settle well with others. If Kirk was polarizing it's because he never compromised on truths. And yet he never hated anyone that disagreed with him. He might have debated them. But, everything I ever heard out of his mouth was either backed by the constitution or the bible.

Matthew 10:21-22
English Standard Version
21 Brother will deliver brother over to death, and the father his child, and children will rise against parents and have them put to death, 22 and you will be hated by all for my name's sake. But the one who endures to the end will be saved.

RIP, Mr. Kirk. I hope many of you will join me in praying for his wife, children, and the rest of his family. I'm staying out of the poo- throwing contest that has erupted, other than stating that a lot of people really show their true colors in times like this.

Lol, quite the ignorance. Keep that head in the sand dude

Who did I vote for slomo

 

[Smokey123]

Those same people….the party of violence….are the ones complaining that a civil war is coming.

It’s sick what politics has become. And people will act like this just started

 

[GAVol]

That’s a shot regularly taken by good deer hunters.
Or someone with a lot of experience.
So ya, scary stuff

Mainly what I was getting at is that something like that requires some planning.

 

[DD4ME]

Which makes this even more scary. That’s assassination type stuff.

The trump shooter was 160ish away

[Carl Pickens]

The amount of people celebrating this is depressing AF

For real…. As much as I dislike certain politicians and etc., I don’t want to see physical harm come to them

 

[Volnanza]

I'm very confident they will find the shooter and lock him up for the rest of his life. As it should be.

Utah had the death penalty. They need to use it.

I’m going with a lot of experience

The “left” isn’t going to defend it because it is an abhorrent unwarranted indefensible attack and cannot be justified. Kirk is a highly polarizing individual but did nothing to deserve this and whomever shot him should be universally condemned

I haven’t read the thread yet, but I’m betting 2 things are happening.

1. No one is defending it. But multiple are justifying it.
2. 2A positions have been flaunted.

 

[CobbVol]

Ok. I said what it looked like to me.

Sorry, check my edit

 

[GAVol]

What is wrong with people?

 

[Carl Pickens]

I wish you guys got this worked up over school shootings, maybe something would change.

Dude, you’re a pathetic ass

 

[PEPPERJAX]

Yes. Reportedly over 200 yards from an elevated position requires some skill and experience....or a lot of luck. If the person in the video wasn't the shooter, who is and how did he manage to evade being seen or captured? Surely there was security of one type of another at a gathering that size? Something seems off.

I’m not sure of the safety protocols for someone like Kirk but you are correct, something is off. Events hosted at the world’s fair site have armed police on rooftops surrounding that area to prevent something like this. Kirk said in an interview that the reason he had security is because he feared for his life.

 

[dalton_vol]

Has Kirk ever called for violence? Do tell

No he didn't, but the left has to make some type of comparison to justify this murder

 

[NorthDallas40]

I haven’t read the thread yet, but I’m betting 2 things are happening.

1. No one is defending it. But multiple are justifying it.
2. 2A positions have been flaunted.

You’re not wrong.

 

[DD4ME]

You are very kind, but leaving is the right call.

In light of world events, I’ll say that it’s great to have brothers and sisters at Tennessee with whom I can argue football until the sun burns out, but who are brothers and sisters nonetheless.

You Georgia guys making too much sense today. Sad times.

 

[dalton_vol]

That tweet is poison to the left

 

[Orangeslice13]

It’s sick what politics has become. And people will act like this just started

It’s like the other conversation we were having.
It’s why I would not write my feelings on cardboard, staple it to a stick, and stand on the corner because it would piss someone off and then violence would come to me.

 

[ETV]

Unless it’s blowing up hospitals and killing children in Palestine right?

There’s a thread for that elsewhere in the forum. Take your sympathy there.

 

[n_huffhines]

That tweet is poison to the left

Yeah, this is what people had a problem with.

 

[Orangeslice13]

Mainly what I was getting at is that something like that requires some planning.

I’m a regular at the gun range and a regular hunter. I don’t think I could make that shot under those conditions

 

[NorthDallas40]

Sorry, check my edit

Ok. It didn’t come across as polarizing to me. It came across as horrendous and that’s worse in my book. He clearly was squirming around a “he was asking for it” angle. And he can get right the f$&@ outta here with any of that.

A conservative is not going to retaliate. We would have retaliated a long time ago because conservatives tend to have morality and they tend to understand that there is a God that is greater than them. The left does not believe that

I’m going to disagree with you and I’m conservative. I think pretty obviously the left has a lot of crazies but they don’t have the market cornered. Only a matter of time before some crazy retaliates that’s affiliated with the republican side.
