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.

Melissa and husband gunned down in their own home by some crazy pretending to be a police officer (also shot other politicians in their home). That's wild it was so recent but almost forgotten already.

RIP to Charlie and all victims of gun violence.

No one should die from gun violence except where it was absolutely required in self-defense. However, if I had to choose who would die from gun violence between a kid just trying to go to school and learn who gets gunned down by a mass shooter and a blow-hard far-right political instigator who made his entire living off of raising the political temperature to where it is is now and who said that gun violence is a worth it as the price of admission for having the second amendment, I know which lesser of the two evils I would choose.

Thanks for not letting anyone have to guess what you are.

God forbid people start seeing all the videos of the black guys that believe the same as Charlie...on God, race, DEI. I don't think his position on DEI is actually wrong. One would have to view more than one of his debates on the topic.

The scam about DEI, is that they get all these minorities whipped up over something they know nothing about. Blacks only make up about 2% of DEI hires. However, approximately 73% of the people in the position to make DEI hires are White Women. And the DC Libs have the blacks carrying the torch. They abused them during slavery, and have continued to do so since.

This one should hit close to home

He would be very generous to students asking their questions in his open mic sessions on these campuses. I didn't really know much about him until this past year when those started coming up my reels. I'm very accepting of others beleifs that differ from mine. Grew up christian (not religious), attended regularly, had a very biblically grounded father who served as an elder, etc. Thankfully, he was the way he was and I wasn't raised to condemn but study and search for truth.

Having said that, I always took Kirk as genuine, steadfast, and accepting. He may disagree, and I've seen him correct alot of people that were way off base and not factual. But, I also get that he's human and can fire a miss too. But, being we are all human, one must look at a body of work in totality, not a microscopic occurance. Hence, remove the plank from your own eye before you see the speck in another's. But it wasn't just "liberals" he defended his platform too. He admonished churches too for not having the right focus. Kirk was not a one trick pony.

What was the "right focus?" I don't know anything about him or what he touted to churches.

It's the beginning of the end for America at this point. Expect political violence to increase over the coming years. The 2 parties win votes by keeping people angry at each other so nothing will ever change until America has either collapsed or is on the verge.

I mean, MLK was shot dead. JFK, his brother RFK. People said it was the end of America at the time too. Yet here we are free to shoot each other like always.

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.

Every time this ******** happens it's the same line. "Well, the right will eventually retaliate!"... and they don't.

The left is at fault. The left stirs this stuff up. You have an acting mainstream leftist politician that has spoken out already about how this is Trump's fault, the right's fault. There is no logical or justified finger that can be pointed at the right.

If we had a just country, you wouldn't even dare to make the lazy point that "it's only a matter of time!".

I plead with you to rethink your comments. We should be saddened at the loss of life regardless of the person impacted.

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.

My first thought was it was an attempted head shot that went low. But hitting the neck could indicate a torso shot the shooter did not compensate for the downhill drop.

I am saddened by it. It's really regrettable. However, Charlie Kirk very consciously made it his life's work to produce a world where this can and will happen. The fact that another school shooting happened today in Colorado and this is the "big story" is even more regrettable.

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.

I didnt watch but my daughter did on accident and called me crying. She just saw the tag line that he had been shot and pressed play not thinking it was the actual footage. Wish I could pray that image out of her mind but I cannot. She has a Beyond the Basics Bible study class after church tonight. Hope she skips it and comes home so I can comfort her.

Edit: I trust that God can comfort her better than I ever could. I just selfishly want her with me because she is upset.

I think I've seen a few of his short-form videos. They are posted by his group or by people supportive of his view.

In those vids, he didn't seem to be combative, or demeaning. He generally came across as steadfast in his beliefs without resorting to name calling or antagonism. The guy has events on college campuses.

Is that the dude?

That's him. Honest to a fault. Has many black supporters many of whom appeared with him.

Well it's obvious you've never listened to Charlie Kirk.
