Charlie Kirk Shot and killed

[Peradox1K]

Your statement:

"guns are great and a way to solve your problems"

please support your ridiculous statement with fact!

See folks, people on the left use projection. They take what THEY think about things and then say that about republicans. Projection is an argument used by weak minded people and also people that cannot support an argument with fact! Or in this case, both!

There is a happy middle for firearms, but that ain't it. Neither is restricting firearms the highest capabilities.

Legit question: Did this guy get flags flown by the federal government at half-mast?

Competent black pilots have been flying for the airlines for 50 years. Just because they wanted more blacks doesn't mean they didn't meet qualifications because they were black.My father was a bomber pilot in the USAF and helped spur the hiring of qualified black pilots who otherwise had been passed over for simply being black.

I'm in an advanced dance class for which you could never qualify

That begs the question then, what is DEI a response to? We’ve overcome tremendous hurdles in this country, thanks to people like your dad, so what barrier was DEI implemented to overcome? I’ve never heard of any discrimination cases against the airlines and based on your response it seems like they want diversity for diversity’s sake.

And to be clear I am 100% open to having my mind changed on this subject.

 

[Peradox1K]

100% and this is the view of most military veterans I know, and I could give a **** less about the opinions of "evil lawyers" Marxidemics.

Yeah, I don't give one **** either.

Totally repsect your position and what you say your dad fought for.

However, if a company says they want a certain percentage of employees to be a certain way, but don't express that they must be qualified, vehemently so if a pilot, or that standards won't be lowered to acheive those goals, then i'd have to be leery of their qualifications. And it doesn't just have to apply to black employees or pilots. Otherwise I say go for it.

With all due respect pilots already have to meet certain criteria to qualify.

Now if you were to argue that you wanted the best, regardless of race, the argument has a leg to stand on.

Yes, because he was a friend of Trump's and Vance's. He was a politician (sort of). You're telling me if you were the president, and your friend was taken out publicly, you wouldn't put the flags at half-mast in honor of them?

Trump Shares Touching Story Of Barron Wanting To Meet Charlie Kirk​

"That guy’s great, Dad. That guy’s great."


President Donald Trump stopped by “Fox & Friends” Friday morning to do a studio interview and share updates on the capture of Charlie Kirk’s alleged killer. During the course of the conversation, the president related a personal anecdote about what Kirk meant to his youngest son, Barron.

“He was very hurt when he saw this. But, I mean, everybody was,” the president said.

Trump recalled that Barron, who is currently living in the White House while attending college at New York University’s DC campus, once asked his dad to make an introduction.

“Barron came to me and he said, ‘Dad, I’d like to meet somebody that you know, Charlie Kirk.’ … I thought he was gonna say he wanted to meet like King Charles or something … and I set up a lunch … and he came back and said, ‘That guy’s great, Dad. That guy’s great.’ It was cute,” Trump said during the studio interview.

I understood the pos only fired one shot and fled... with bolt action, how were there casings (unless he stupidly pulled the bolt to eject one before he cowardly bugged out)?

It will also be interesting to see how many others were involved... someone left the rifle at a dead drop and there are also some videos of alleged conspirators flashing hand signals from the stage to the rooftop.

 

[luthervol]

And he was referring to dei appointed race baiting activists.

I watched the video. He came across as a colossal POS!

 

[BernardKingGOAT]

That’s not a receipt, that was lack of context you got called out on.

The more you know, it wasn’t the flex you wanted it to be in real time.

I knew what he was responding to with the statement. My point is that plenty of blacks have been more than qualified but weren't hired simply because they were black

Bless your heart. No one is trying to flex. You need to work on that inferiority complex

If we are going to keep the death penalty (which it needs to be abolished) all executions need to be public and gruesome. Hangings in the town square of where the crime was committed.

The **** it does.

My understanding or inference is they found the weapon loaded with multiple rounds. I believe they did state the spent cartridge was still chambered.

Legit question, did you know who he was before that tweet?*

Maybe it was implemented because in many cases, there was a more qualified black pilot that didn't get hired over a less qualified white pilot. That was the angle my Dad used in his efforts. The comparison of resumes was his catalyst

 

[joevol33]

Did they arrest someone?

 

[Peradox1K]

Did they arrest someone?

Yeah, Tyler Robinson, 22, utah local

 

[Grand Vol]

I’d point to his career senior military career and his posts for starters. He has the background to step into the role. He is absolutely a war dog I agree with you. But that doesn’t mean he didn’t know how to run the department of defense. Wait my bad. The department of war.

Did he reform acquisitions? Cut budgets? Trim the flag officer fat? Make combat units more capable and agile?

He pretty much did what every SecDef did before him and maintain the status quo. Yeah, he was a good field leader and a warrior at one point, but I have serious issues with him trying to stay in Syria (as the DoD did even after Mattis resigned/was fired) and not wanting to pull out of Afghanistan.

We had no business being in either, BTW. Not long term at least. And I'm not even going to get into his views of climate change and pushing the DoD to continue funding the items in that agenda.

Suspect in Charlie Kirk's killing is identified by officials as Tyler Robinson

Utah Governor Spencer Cox said that a family member of Robinson's reached out to a family friend who contacted the Washington County Sheriff's Office.

Wouldnt be surprised to see death penalty here, or at very least Supermax. Enjoy solitary for rest of your life.

Dude is 22. That is crazy. Glad they found him. Completely senseless. People have a right to say what they want.

yes 22 year old pos utah college student

Look folks, now using deflection as an argument. Projection and deflection are for losers!

Now if you were to argue that you wanted the best, regardless of race, the argument has a leg to stand on.

I thought that was the point. Not just saying your goal is to have a certian percentage a certain way. That lends credence to questioning if they change the criteria to meet that goal. If your gonna hold steadfast to the criteria and still aim to level the distribution, then I see no issue. As long as all that meet the criteria still have a flying chance. And I'm leery of "more qualified" statements. You're either qualified or not qualified.

Would be interesting to know. Racism in hiring practices exists, no question, and can be nearly impossible to detect without overt evidence. I think DEI can be a good thing if it encourages opportunity where there is a perceived barrier.
