I did no such thing. Again it’s your own inference. He was polarizing. If you disagree then we disagree. I made no connection to his Christian beliefs or core family beliefs at all. In fact I agree with those beliefs you got on your soap box on. That is all your inference and you can GTFO with “alluded to”. And I’m not hiding behind anything.

“Polarizing” how so? Because he didn’t share your beliefs? He was the opposite. He gave people a platform to speak/debate against him. That’s far from “polarizing”.

Not to be callous towards the man, but why do so many of you feel an emotional connection to Charlie or his murder?

It’s not being callous asking an honest question. Charlie Kirk to me was very common sense and logical. He spoke with plainly with conviction and clarity of purpose. He was not scared, he realized that doing what he doing was dangerous. He was a bold Christian husband and father who had genuine courage and he was very effective. For him it was truly about Jesus and I laud him for his walk that spoke to that.
He was a man worthy of great respect and he was killed for it. I watched the video and knew it wasn’t survivable.
For me it’s not emotional, it’s respect. I see many many are reacting emotionally…good or bad.

Not directly, of course not.
Indirectly.........trumpism has knowingly and intentionally fueled a toxic environment. It was always the intent.

Obama created and fostered similar toxicity, Biden contributed as well. We should stop pretending this began or will end with Trump.

Everything that both parties have done for the last 20+ years has been to keep political power and clout. Since they have no real accomplishments to point to they simply deflect and attribute blame.

The only thing that is currently different about these two parties is their stance on trans topics and immigration and crime. In every other respect they are virtually indistinguishable.

Strange how he didn’t show Michelle Hortman the same honor…I guess selective patriotism runs deep at the WH

It’s an emotional event for many. As it should be. But not due to the person, due to the action. I would be equally as pissed if this was Kamala Harris. This is the USA. We don’t Fing kill people for their views, even if they don’t align with yours. This is what savages and countries of dictators do. This is and should be alarming to everyone. Your own response shows how we somehow been conditioned to maybe not think it’s okay, but nit be surprised either.

People fight and die for our country every year so that you can have whatever beliefs you want, even voice them, even if I hate them. This should be alarming and emotional to either side. Our country is going to ****.

You really need to expand your vocabulary. His methods were polarizing. He was extremely direct he sought out discourse on very hot topic issues. Polarizing doesn’t have to be derogatory it’s just a natural response to his methods. I’ve stated his beliefs in many cases are not in conflict with mine. Again this is all your inference and you’re FOS with it as far as I’m concerned.

Look at the 3rd definition in the list below. It is a response to his methods. And he wasn’t stupid he purposely chose those methods.

Whether you’re intending for it be this way or not, you’re coming across as though that you’re hoping that the murderer gets away or makes law enforcement look stupid .

I hope the murderer gets caught, prosecuted and punished for his crime. I think that would be more likely with competent FBI leadership. I don't think we have that. We have a guy leading the FBI who is patently unqualified. But if you want to defend his competence, have at it.

Charlie gave a platform for youth to speak their view and challenge his way of thinking. But if you spoke, you better be precise in your stance because he would be in his. It typically got sideways when he knew more about the history/matter and left the liberal speechless or embarrassed because they truly couldn’t back up a claim/view. That’s not polarizing.

I certainly hope not. This cannot be allowed to spiral out of control. I typically don’t like for politicians to get involved in murder cases. I don’t like Trump speaking on the girl in Charlotte, I don’t know that I want him to give an Oval Office address regarding Charlie Kirk, but what I think needs to be done right away is that he should condemn any retaliation towards anyone public or private. This can’t be an eye for an eye kind of thing.

You’re the only one FOS. Once again he did directly the opposite. He literally brought the two groups together for open dialogue and debate. Polarizing would be condemning the other side and not even hearing debate. This is what adults are supposed to be able to do. Open dialogue even if they disagree. I guess everyone interprets differently, but your interpretation happens to be wrong here, regardless of your obvious huge vocabulary you obviously like to tout.

One similar characteristic ...they all get wealthy in office.

Professional politicians are celebrities now.

Ok so we’ve clearly established you have no f$&@ing idea what polarizing means and you stepped on your Johnson when you hopped into this debate with your soap box. Thanks for playing.

I will say that the leadership of the FBI has not exactly been a strength of the organization for more than a few years now

I remember the first ISIS beheading video to hit Ogrish. That’s still probably the worst I’ve seen/heard (the audio was tough).

It’s the context of the Kirk shooting.
