Charlie Kirk Shot and killed

[K-town Vol Fan]

You misspelled “celebrate”.

Please explain how I'm celebrating? By posting words that came out of his mouth? Days after kids were murdered in school?

Also, for "the right doesn't do this" crowd, how quickly we forget...not even 3 months ago. You don't remember because you don't care, just like Trump didn't say a word about it.

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.

You said this far more eloquently than I. Thank you for this truth.

I would say specifically negative labels, and only certain kinds. For example, "libtard" is atrocious and reveals something more about the person saying it than anything, but I don't think it does much to dehumanize the group (I guess you could say it dehumanizes disabled people, but that's beside the point). It's a huge group, they hold a lot of power, and it's all based on political ideology.

I find it much more concerning when it's attacking smaller groups, like religion, or even worse, attacking smaller groups with inherited traits, like where they were born or how they were born (gay or gender confused, I know it's not PC but it's the least confusing term, LOL).

Not sure what you find funny about any of this, but you do you.

I’ve been driving so SIAP, but found it interesting that the moment he was shot he was talking about trans shooters apparently.

Coincidence?

You don’t think I can find just as many, just as extreme, statements from Trump and his people ?

Its not a contest for who has the worst members of it's political clique. Its escalating use of violence to solve political problems and no one "wins."

No you can't.

Really is scary. And people wonder why the birth rate is plummeting

If I was a younger person again, about to get married and think about starting a family …I would seriously take pause on that for a myriad of reasons.

She shouldn’t have been wearing that dress!

Clever dig.

Listening to liberal XM channels spin this as his own fault is unbelievable

 

[Majors]

My college age son just said this is his generations MLK or Kennedy assassination.

Not sure that’s too far fetched based on the crowds and impact made with the youth

Huff: “Don’t call me a libtard you xenophobic racist cuck.”

He is a sad little person and it shows more every day.

Melissa Hortman in June, Charlie Kirk today. Senseless. Our kids deserve better than to be brought up in this political climate. So disappointing that we find ourselves in this place.

And a high school shooting happening in Colorado today as well. A sad world.

False comment, and not helpful.

100% true and it is helpful so you know what you are up against. You have called conservatives a threat for years now

 

[whodeycin85]

Right there is the greatest difference between the side.nothing more need to be said when you can't respect a moment of silence..just after a political assassination...I'm ready waiting for the call

I’m right there. Married last year.

100 million "liberals" in the country and you are going to find a dozen who say such ridiculous things and say the other 99,999,988 agree.

Not helpful.

Well 120k DID click the heart on the tweet indicating their agreement………not helpful.

 

[volfan2024]

I'm gonna read this entire thread and see if it is where I want to be associating with people on any longer.

I’m going to go down that rabbit hole with you…was the person asking the question involved? IOW…was that the signal? I would like to see the response of the person asking when they saw Charlie Kirk get shot.

 

[VAVol85]

All I did was post something terrible he said that now seems pretty relevant

You post it before the guy’s body has even made it to the hospital or is wife has seen his dead body. You are a sick piece of crap. Delete your account and go away.

 

[GroverCleveland]

But not calling for violence as some on here say.

Yeah. Did not specifically call for violence. Just have to do whatever it takes. No way that gets misunderstood.

 

[ETV]

This kind of broad strokes characterization is a huge part of the actual problem we have, which is people resorting to violence to address political adversaries.

And how many times have you applied that broad brush to conservative topics?

 

[Buddy’s Bandit]

Trump's fault...

Didn't take long.

This is pathetic.

Comes across as a “karma is a bitch” post…and I believe you knew that. Classless.

 

[UTK]

too far left, too far right, too far gone. Keep the endless cycle of hatred going.

They say abuse of weed doesn't kill the brain, but we have evidence to the contrary right here.

There's alot people don't know about Charlie and his beliefs. He wasn't anti-left. He wasn'r pro right. He was for God, Family, Truth, and atleast some sign of knowing a little about the constitution. I've seen videos of him jacking up these "feel good" churches as well for going no further than having nice lights, good music, and a good coffee counter while not teaching the real reason for being there...which is correction and healing.

I candidly knew nothing about him. Its literally his glib response "of too many" in the question right before the shot that I know from him. I don’t like the dismissive attitude but its no reason to shoot the guy.
