Charlie Kirk Shot and killed

[85SugarVol]

I've seen a lot of people die on the internet. This video is a top 5 most f"ed up ones for me.

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.

This is your people

I love the irony. These people are so much more closely aligned w/ Nazis than those that constantly throw that word at.

the nazis rose to power as a counter to the other extreme that was trying to emerge.

if you are going to invoke Nazis, you better understand the context. at one point the nazis were the ones who were going to bring stability and normality back to Germany, and lead them away from the Communists.

 

[InVOLuntary]

No need for that crap.

I don't know. A good ass whipping is sometimes called for. No permanent injuries. Maybe destroy his little ride. Like @Grand Vol said, sometimes people need to learn a lesson.

 

[evillawyer]

Sounds like they were able to get some good images of the shooter.

Again, where has the Democratic party called for political violence. Not randos, but party leaders and established left wing pundits.

Far and away, calls for political violence have come from the right.

Hang on, let's be clear about something...people use this term extremely narrowly. We use it pretty much only in the way our leaders want us to, generally in reference to things like what happened to Kirk, or the couple in June, or the failed Trump assassination.

I keep on hearing "political violence is never ecceptable" but I know for a fact that most of you, including Charlie Kirk, do condone state-sponsored political violence.


Right now, Israel is ethnically cleansing Gaza. This is not up for debate. Their expressed goal is to remove all Palestinians from Gaza, which is the textbook definition of ethnic cleansing. Not only is it political violence, it is one of the most egregious examples. And Charlie Kirk greenlit anything that could possibly happen to innocent Palestinians, meaning every form of political violence, simply because Hamas started it.

If you cry for Kirk and don't care about Palestinians, you don't actually care about political violence. You just care about your people.

There's a lot of truth in what you're saying and you're right, people aren't afraid to run their pieholes anymore. BUT IMO when a sh^tbag pulls a stunt like that it's never good to gang up on them, a man to man beating is fine but no need to act like the sh^tbags and have multiple people give them a beat down.

If someone is dumb enough to smack a hornets nest, the bees aren't going to line up one at a time to come after you. The whole swarm gets angry and comes after you.

And they found the weapon

and that reaction is at least as harmful as the act you want to condemn.

It’s a long observed phenomenon that spans many studies across many years.

Responded to one?
Feeding, Housing, & Healing are all core functions of many charities. We’re in Memphis, St Jude has long been the recipient of the bulk of our giving - Healing.

Swampy suffers from the same thing Biden (mental incapacity) and other Dems ( if it didn't happen to me or I don't know about it it not true) ideology...he truly believes everything he says because ignorance is bliss as they say.

That’s all they do invoke. Nazi is used as the same level as racist or homophobic or what the ist or phobic flavor of the month is. These people largely don’t even know what they’re cheering for, which is even scarier. They’re ****ing indoctrinated, and some hold respectable jobs in the community.

This is your people

I bet that phone number is disconnected now. Three phone connected to it probably melted down from continuous rage calling.

 

[Grand Vol]

It's not you, but I really wish people would stop using the term "high powered rifle" to describe what was used.

There isn't a low powered rifle...

"your people'. Someone joined a team.

I can not watch that video. Horrific enough to know what happened.

 

[InVOLuntary]

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

This is Luther's version of the devil made me do it.

you know you also invoked Nazi, making you no different from them.

trying to blame the other extreme while ignoring another extreme is what lead to the Nazis taking power. doing the same thing now is not going to end with good results.

Now imagine an alternate timeline where the Communists are the ones calling for the eradication of the Jews and the disarming of the populace.

Wasn’t it a right winger that “shot” Trump?

Do you just watch CNN or MSNBC? Do you live under a rock? Good fkn lord I swear some of you have zero brain capacity

 

[BeardedVol]

The hate is predominantly on the left. Why is that? Why is there no conservative movement to kill Steven Colbert (a prominent left wing voice)? Because conservatives are fine having a debate. Liberals have to resort to killing in order to silence someone. Conservatives say to Biden supporters "we think you're misguided and disagree with you politically" but they don't take it personal. Liberals say to MAGA folks "you're a bad human being". That's the difference

MAGA amnesia is a terrible thing.

If you cry for Kirk and don't care about Palestinians, you don't actually care about political violence. You just care about your people.

You’re exactly correct! The Palestinian “plight” concerns me about as much as your illegal friend/neighbor fearing for his family’s deportation: not one ****ing bit.

There’s nothing wrong with not caring about other countries.

Well, that's sick but ok.

I didn’t say they were Nazis, I said they were more closely aligned . That’s why I always loved the “Anti-fascists” clowns

 

[TrumpedUpVol]

It’s reality, buddy. This is a topic about something that happened to an American in the United States of America, not an interloper or in some eternally-contested shithole half a world away. Do try and keep up.
