Charlie Kirk Shot and killed

[Orange_Crush]

Ignoring mental illness doesn’t benefit anyone

Or cancer, for that matter.

You can’t argue with an idiot. Save your breath man

Luther isn't an idiot. He can't see anything except hate Trump.

Luther isn't an idiot. He can't see anything except hate Trump.

The self-loathing must be almost unbearable. Hating hate while bathing in it and protecting every reason to to do so.

Did they get anyone to perform during the halftime show at the memorial? I wasn't able to catch it.

 

[SpaceCoastVol]

I saw bits and pieces over the course of the afternoon but did not see this.

Seems totally inappropriate to the moment.

IMPEACH!!

His name is KKKKKKKKIIIIIIDDDDDDDDD!!!!!!!!!!

 

[SpaceCoastVol]

In my opinion.........................I'm confident that he is not.

I'm simply curious, what percentage of trumpers actually consider him to be a religious man?

My guess would be about 70%.

Who cares?

 

[SpaceCoastVol]

He expresses Christian faith when it serves his purposes and gets him more adoration from the cult members.

Unlike other"Catholic" presidents who process faith then champion baby murder.

Considering your refusal to interact with the problems of your worldview when presented, that would have to be about the only place for it to operate.

Yawn.....dedicated thread.....or I assume you're actually not really interested.

The left has had the young in their crucible, indoctrinating them without pause. Charlie lit the fuse to change that. It's growing. The assassination threw gasoline on the fire. The left knows it. The evil that funds the true insurrectionist, the Soros' the Singhams, etc will not give up. They will keep funding violence and terror. I have an idea the money from these evil people will be tracked and monitored extensively from here on out.

I hope you are right, but I doubt it

 

[Orange_Crush]

Yawn.....dedicated thread.....or I assume you're actually not really interested.

That would go back to the question as to why you feel you have the trustable capability to interact with reality. (It would be a mark against, for the record, since it's obviously you that has no interest in discussing these things.)

You don't get to make ridiculous comments in-thread and then try to manipulate it in such a way that you are immune from being questioned in-context. If you want to make comments for everyone to see here, why would you be so afraid of people seeing them challenged here?

It seems kind of cowardly, to be honest.

I agree. What a different world this would be if we adequately addressed all of the mental illnesses permeating our society.

And if we stopped excusing bad behavior by labeling it a mental illness.

 

[Orange_Crush]

And if we stopped excusing bad behavior by labeling it a mental illness.

Or.. hear me out here... If we stopped affirming and normalizing mental illness.

 

[luthervol]

And if we stopped excusing bad behavior by labeling it a mental illness.

yep....look at us agreeing.

I don't disagree with your reasoning. Youth votes seldom materialize and I am not sure the youth vote has ever decided an election. But you are talking about regional elections and not national. I think the chances are higher for them to impact locally rather than nationally.

I dont know that it will impact youth vote so much as crystalize so many young who are looking for something worth living (and dying) for in a world that offers little meaning. The campus institutions are ideologically hostile and that is like catnip to younger minds. I think his name will become an avatar for young people to rally to at colleges. It would not surprise me if Turning Point does not triple or quadruple in size in the next few years and it was fairly big already.

Here you had a young man who from all we can glean was an absolute icon of what everyone of those kids would hope to become. Had been a HS sports star, had married the state beauty queen, had two beautiful kids, founded and now, only 31yo, running a multi-million dollar organization, where politicians and business leaders call him their friend, with a very public presence and before his death, mildly famous. He had strong beliefs that, by every account, he lived personally (no skeletons) and in spite of constant threats on his life, was willing to wade out in the crowd in order to perhaps "save" one.

He just had a national eulogy that most Presidents would be lucky to get. He died in a very public way, with honor and glory, fast and without much pain. DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW THAT LOOKS TO A YOUNG MIND WANTING SOMEONE TO FOLLOW? Thank God Charlie Kirk's whole spiel was conversation over violence or a true civil war might be underway.

As someone has seen many things come and go, sometimes its easy to overlook things in the moment but I dont think we can yet estimate the impact this is going to have on not just the midterms but an entire generation of young people - not just in the near term but across the passage of time.

Je suis Charlie Kirk​

The speeches I saw yesterday were really good. They should have left Donald off the ticket

Yeah after what Erica said, I am not sure what Donald could offer. Though he did help lighten the mood just a bit and of course it was important in a process sense of having the President speak at his memorial.

Oof course he had to make it about himself. Nothing Presidential about him in that role

 

[n_huffhines]

THEY *cough* @n_huffhines don't do that...

Please tell me you tuned in for the whole thing

 

[SpaceCoastVol]

You know nothing about what Trump believes or not. Why keep bashing him?

Hatred blinds these people to anything else. It is funny that luther talks of 'rational and reasonable' yet he is neither.

It's crazy that our country is run by a guy who can't be trusted to speak at a funeral.

I think that's actually tongue in cheek. I suspect even he knows different.

Buddy, they didn't have time for that. They needed things to end. Word on the street is nobody could get on Grindr in PHX yesterday. Servers were overloaded with MAGA visitors to the area.

I doubt it. His hatred of Trump is well documented here.
