Charlie Kirk Shot and killed

[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.

 

[Carl Pickens]

Not that I'm aware of. Had he ?

I don’t follow him and have only seen bits and pieces of his stuff, but I don’t think so

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.

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

Absolutely heart wrenching.

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

Provided the neck wasn't a missed shot. If he was going for the chest/heart? With all due respect to Charlie. I liked him alot.

 

[Orangeburst]

dont know why, but sense Antifa is tied to this.
if so, katy bar the door as hellfire will fall on them, or any other group.

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

Oh I think hitting a “target” at 200 yds isn’t hard. Hitting a human being at any range and I don’t think I could hold the rifle steady.

Given that there must have been hundreds, if not thousands, of cameras in the area, I'm confident that the shooter will be identified fairly quickly.

I don't know. I'm skeptical. If it's been this long whoever it is probably got out. Easy to blend in with hundreds/thousands of people. If the shooter was on campus all they had to do was walk down into the crowd.

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.

The logistics of protecting so many different locations, all with completely different layouts and in the open air, has to be mind boggling. Shows how brave he was to put himself in that situation time after time.

They killed a man and took him from his young kids bc politics have become peoples religion. Charlie was the “lets talk it out” guy and not a violent one.

All this bc you dont like his opinion. This country is in bad shape. What a sad day. Makes me so angry.

Give me some examples of conservatives burning down cities, shooting people, attacking police. I'll correct myself. Last 8-10 years the dems have been stoking the fire.

Try to head shot a deer at 200 yards while feeding/ moving. Not easy and I regularly shoot 500+ yards.

Those millions of liberals vote for, and support the same politicians who stoke the violence from the left

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

100% premeditated and could be capital murder if being politically motivated is an “aggravated circumstance”.

MSNBC, cnn, etc have been repeating the exact same bs for years. You had Obama and Biden say MITT ROMNEY was gonna put black people back in chains. When this rhetoric is repeated over and over and over eventually some lunatic is gonna matters into their own hands. You had a Murphy just yesterday (and plenty of others) say we are at war and we must do everything to save this country. This bs rhetoric is what’s causing this violence and it’s not just one isolated event

 

[n_huffhines]

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

I believe he's saying that because of Kirk's position on Israel/Palestine.

She shouldn’t have been wearing that dress!

I have it on good authority, that every christian that has ever been persecuted for their beliefs, or labeled polarizing, or been accused of being stupid for believing in God has come at the hands of other people that are still alive. Those that rejected God and Love and have since died in that state know the real truth.

That was not an easy shot.
I don’t think I’d hit the target at the range
I can’t imagine pulling the trigger on a human who wasn’t try to kill me.
Serious act of cowardice

 

[Ttucke11]

I'm mind blown. This is horrific. I really wish I wouldn't have watched that video, but maybe people need to see these things when they happen. Evil is staring us in the eyes quite a bit recently and a lot of the country needs to wake up.

 

[Grand Vol]

Trump's fault...

Didn't take long.

They know where the shot came from. They won't be looking for the shooter from amongst the entire crowd.

 

[DD4ME]

It is super easy to see sticks in other people's eyes right now. Don't fall for that trap if you can.

Prayers for Charlie's family.

Clearly a factor yes. But the target matters. Buck fever is bad enough for me. I can’t imagine the ice in the veins to sight another human.
