This not an issue for you to have an opinion. If you're not from here, then STFU.

You mean the people being outraged by him being publicly executed? You want to just ignore the MSM constantly lying and telling people that conservatives are NSDAPs and fascists, etc? All of that is okay but no you better not respond to someone being murdered in cold blood. The left advocates violence all. the. time. I am so sick of hearing it. People literally believe Charlie deserved to die because he was a NSDAP, boob, fascist which not one single thing is true. People are fed twisted lies and they believe all of it which is shown on this board. I honestly cannot believe this is the world we live in. Weak minded, brainwashed sheep and it is disgusting.

That’s the most honest answer Trump has ever given; if anyone thinks he gives two craps about anyone but himself they’re delusional. A week from now he’ll need to be reminded who Charlie Kirk was.

I don’t see how the shooter was an asset, a pro, or an organized hit. No one that had training is aiming for that small of a target in his neck where if he missed by an inch or two, up or to the right, Kirk is probably fine. I would think it was someone that doesn’t totally understand distance and trajectory, aimed for his head and ended up getting the shot he wanted but not intended.

Yeah, nobody aims for the neck. He was in an elevated position and didn't factor for slope and got lucky. If he had help that would have come up.

He then came off the roof like a kid sneaking out after curfew.

Yeah the pro angle doesn't ring true to me.

It's coming from people who badly want to believe it took a big conspiracy for this to happen.

Probably one nutjob with a quality rifle & scope. I'm not a gun guy but from what I've seen in reports about the rifle used that tracks.

Cool,.now put together decades of the right vilifying liberals, calling them commies and un-American, eventually evolving the party to nominating and electing a reality TV star largely based on his ability to "own the libs".

You're literally arguing that "words are violence" with this crap.

And celebrated the death of Kirk

As Diehard says, the only poster that came close was Toast who said Kirk got what he deserved. Toast is no liberal.

Thanks for the long post. I read it. You took time to think about it and write it. There are several points that are good points and worth thinking about.

What you get woefully wrong in here is your belief that you see a bunch of "liberal loons". There are a few posters who really are full on liberal lefties and they can be combative for sure. The last time we went back and forth about this I named two or three and suggested I probably missed a few others. You declined any attempt to name more. We can agree there used to be others like Munson, EagleBenny, Boogey, etc. but they haven't posted in here for years. Posters like ToastJ, JohnSnow, Vikas, DEagle, Alpha, Gannon, etc. etc. etc. are very anti-Trump but they are not leftists/liberals. You equate any post that is critical of Trump/MAGA as coming from a liberal and having a liberal twist. That view is patently incorrect.

There are very few humans in the history of mankind that you could say "deserved” to die. Very very few who are that evil. I’m not huge in to politics (and at times like this I’m quite glad of that) but Charlie Kirk did not deserve to die. Did he have some extreme views? Sure. Was he outspoken? Sure. But he did not deserve to die and certainly not in the way he did and so publicly. He has a wife and kids who will see that clip time after time.

One thing Charlie would have supported 100% is people expressing their opinions however nasty those opinions. Now we have the State Dept saying that anti-Kirk messages glorifying his death on social media will result in visas being removed. How utterly ironic.

The way you centrists go on about leftists is absolute nonsense like saying "treat everyone equally regardless of their colour, sexual orientation or religion, extreme wealth inequality is bad and we should rein in Israel" is exactly the same as saying 'gay people are a disease who deserve stoning' and 'black people are mentally subnormal' and 'the civil rights act was a mistake' (all things that Kirk did say in public and on record btw). Whenever push comes to shove the people who call themselves center left / center right always usher in the Right Wing, and that's how we end up with a Democrat Leadership that would call Dwight Eisenhower's policy platform leftist.

Did Kirk deserve to get shot in the neck? No, but nor does he deserve to have his views laundered and euphemized as honest plain speaking common sense and debating people he disagreed with, he's spouted Klan level racism and the fact that he had such a large national profile and is now being lauded by the highest politicians in the land goes a long way to explain why this country is in the situation it's in.

Agreed. On occasion he went WAY over the line with his comments and he deserves to be fully called out for those moments.

Where the far eft goes wrong is seeking equal outcomes. "Equity" is not something the government should be seeking, not should society.

Sometimes people fail because they suck. It's not society's responsibility to pick them up.
