Charlie Kirk Shot and killed

[rekinhavoc]

It wasn't a hard shot.

Same as where Kennedy was shot in Dallas. Small area and shot from an elevated position.

I dont know how indicative my kids are at 17yo and 24yo...since they have been always raised in Church and have the same beliefs as Charlie. Both of mine are very sad and very frustrated and probably a little scared at least my 17yo daughter anyway. This is a BIG deal to our Church family and especially the youth. He dedicated his life to students/kids and leading them to sharpen their beliefs.

What were his church positions and how did they interact with politics? Genuine question as I'm not familiar with him.

 

[GroverCleveland]

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.

My wife has been crying.

Hope your daughter is able to process through the trauma with no lasting effects.

And I hope there are no posters so classless, petty, and ignorant that they would continually make fun of your daughter for reacting with tears.

Unfortunately.....we have some of those.

This is odd. It’s making the rounds on social media now

 

[GroverCleveland]

I have a great rifle with equally great optics. And yes I’d need either a bipod or prone rest. And I STILL don’t think I could hold the reticle steady on another human.

I understand.

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.

You need help

We have had decades now of vitriol and protests by leftists with conservatives giving lectures on campuses. it is really shocking when one would think campuses would be bastions of debate.

 

[CobbVol]

Well yeah, that was the point of that anecdote. I don't watch that much of him, but I do see him being condescending and dismissive, like when he called the kid's argument "silly" when he didn't have a response.

Edit: It's an impossible ask to be cool and calm and collected all the time when your profession is debate. I'm admittedly too aggressive with debate, which is a big reason why I almost completely avoid it in my personal life. I'm not saying he was a very antagonistic guy comparing him to his profession. I do think he had some opinions that are especially distasteful.

"Silly" ... Oh the horror! Polarization and de-humunization at the highest level!

There’s only so many thoughts and prayers to go around

The poster I quoted tied in a school shooting to Charlie Kirk’s assassination. There are certainly enough dip $hits like you to go around unfortunately.

 

[Leeleesteeth]

My niece was at the UVU library when the shot went off. She's never going to forget that.

Prayers for God's Comfort for your niece and that He will give her the wisdom to process what she is feeling.

 

[CagleMtnVol]

Wow, Charlie Kirk founded Turning Point USA when he was 18 years old.

 

[dalton_vol]

Well. Unfortunately being discussed on liberal XM radio is how much hatred Kirk had towards POC, foreigners and the gay community.

of course, the left roots for his death

 

[marcusluvsvols]

I wish "you guys" would recognize that the left wing rhetoric that convinces people they are victims justified in taking revenge and that labels people with different beliefs as "Nazis", fascists, and such is the DIRECT cause when people like this one... the MN shooter, Ft Hood shooter, Nashville shooter, two people who tried to assassinate Trump, etc... decide to "kill the next Hitler".

The Democrats today are using propaganda and projection EXACTLY like Hitler and Mussolini did on their rise to power in the 1920s.

Leftists even now are claiming that Charlie engaged in "hate speech" that caused him to be shot. Across social media, you are seeing A LOT of leftists expressing that sentiment. His "hate speech" was to disagree with leftism.

PS- I am "worked up" about the left's influence on unstable people that has caused most of the recent school shootings... as well as their impact on culture and morals that have contributed to gang violence that kills a lot more people each year than school shootings.

^^^ This.

The fact is that when these delusional Lefties accuse CK of "hate speech" and then justify to themselves his murder, what they consider "hate speech" deserving of a vigilante death sentence are:

" Women do not have penises."

"Men can not give birth."

" There have only ever been 2 sexes: male and female as determined by DNA."

"Homosexuality is a sin according to God."

Those are not "hate speech". They are objective FACTS and simply stating them is everyone's right. Just because you are mentally ill and delusional believing that you are something that biologically you are not, does not mean that everyone else has to play along with your delusions or they are "hateful" or using "hate speech". Charlie Kirk was killed for being brave enough to speak TRUTH on college campuses which have become Leftist Indoctrination Centers. He is a hero to my kids and will be a martyr now. I hope that his death sparks a Revival among the youth and draws more people to God and his Love

America...hell the WORLD needs a great reset! Its so far gone now. Unless God divinely intervenes and we see a huge spiritual awakening, I'm afraid its lost forever! May my young kids forgive me for bringing them into this horrible world. I love them, but sometimes I truly question whether or not my wife and I made the right decision.

It’s foretold in the Bible. It feels like the onset of the tribulation. Look at how Christianity is relentlessly attacked (oddly enough by many people that throw up a Christmas tree every year), where right is wrong and debauchery is more or less celebrated, with the obvious lack of regard for life from today’s events to school shooting to murders on subway trains, the political elite enriching themselves while this country is starting to rupture and its financial footing all but eroded, the geopolitical issues between countries that push us closer to the edge of a world war, the internal convulsions of countries that have failed to protect their citizenry, but clamp down harder on them when they protest their politician failing them in favor of woke liberalism. It’s not a promising future.

Sounds like a roundabout way of justifying your satisfaction.

Thanks. FWIW, I think she'll be pretty OK knowing her.

 

[BeardedVol]

@BeardedVol will post a article saying Kirk deserved it

Did you type this up before or after you donated to the Vance Boelter defense fund?

 

[YankeeVol]

No one is worth being killed for expressing ideas, you poster child for birth control.

I mean they do believe in late term abortion, maybe it's not too late?

 

[PEPPERJAX]

Weren’t two democratic state legislators from MN gunned down in their own homes by a Trump supporter like 3 or 4 months ago? You don’t even know who shot Kirk but you’re foaming at the mouth to blame the left.

That was wrong too.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Public hanging

 

[K-town Vol Fan]

He very well may be a pathetic ass, but have you ever seen a thread multiply this fast over any of the mass school shootings the past few years?

A mass school shooting happened literally as this was happening and no one is posting anything about it. It's very telling as to where this country is at.

 

[Boca Vol]

of course, the left roots for his death

Pitiful!

 

[GroverCleveland]

Hope your daughter is able to process through the trauma with no lasting effects.

So far, so good.
