Vote your conscience. Anonymous.

Let's see how you feel.

I went with B.

I’d say anyone celebrating a cold blooded political murder is putting more than enough out there to lose their job. I’d draw a very clear line between celebration and saying something like "I don’t care” or, "I didn’t like the guy.”

Criticism of his positions or indifference to his death is fine in my view. You can’t force someone to care or change their mind about a political position. But dancing on the grave of the guy isn’t someone I’d ever want to employ.

Personally I find the whole situation tragic, but the response has sort of shocked me on both sides. I never realized he was this popular on the right or hated by the left. He seemed to have a very milquetoast, mediocre schtick in my eyes, though obviously TPUSA was a powerful political machine.

Half mast flags seemed excessive to me on guy instinct, but given his popularity and the response by the left, maybe it wasn’t? To his credit, and to my knowledge, he had always espoused non violence and to talk things out. Perhaps murdering that symbol deserves some kind of special remembrance.

Honestly, if there weren’t tens of thousands of people literally cheering on his murder I think it should have and would have mostly been out of the news cycle after this week. But now it’s going to become a core issue in the news cycle for the foreseeable future. They can’t claim it was one deranged psycho — too many people cheered with glee and it is looking like several people had prior knowledge.

Yeah, take it from the guy who makes jokes about Pinochet dropping people from helicopters or climaxes at the thought of immigrants being gunned down en masse at the border. Also, murder isn't murder if you hit and kill an obese woman with your car. So yeah, way too many deranged psychos on the left!

That was just a joke?

That was Les Nessman duh

Best part of the poll is guessing who voted where. I think @ToastJenkins and @It Hurts are the easy ones.

I thought going anonymous would yield more honesty.

FWIW I haven't yet voted - I didn't want to be the obvious first vote.

You had me until here.

Even if there are "tens of thousands," which I doubt, you're talking about less than 0.0035% of the population.

It's a loud minority online but doesn't even rate as a statistically insignificant cohort.

This is the problem with social media. The craziest voices get highlighted, often by the other side, and get crystalized as mainstream if you're not consciously checking yourself about it.

There is literally a database with over 50,000 individuals, doxed with names and employers, that the right had collected. The site was shut down due to doxing but will likely be back up in a day or two.

While in the grand scheme of things it may be a small number vs the population of the country, it’s large enough that it’s going to cause problems. When someone can show you endless video of retards laughing on TikTok and screen shots of Twitter and bluesky celebrating, the optics are too overwhelming.

Optics aside, there is also this:

The Sept. 10 poll shows the more liberal respondents were, the more likely they were to say violence can sometimes be justified.

A quarter of respondents who identified as "very liberal” said violence can sometimes be justified to achieve political goals, along with 17 percent of those who identified as "liberal,” 9 percent of moderates, 6 percent of those who said they’re "conservative” and 3 percent of those who identified as "very conservative.”

PAC's will be using these video clips in campaign ads.

Yes, I wanted to like his post at first. but he quickly lost me.

I went with B but can understand picking d. I’m just done pointing fingers, we all need to tone it down.

I guess B is closest to my thoughts. I tend to believe murder is bad regardless who's doing the killing, and who's getting killed.

That said, I don't have any more or any less emotional committment to this situation than I would if Bob Smith from somewhere in central Idaho had been killed.

I find the Is Arthur Jackson Funny and the Does Joe Biden Suffer from Dementia polls to be much more on point. Maybe Doc can nuance up this poll a tad to give it some more pizazz.

And what's the threshold for "cheering" for his murder? Forgive me if I lack faith in a partisan effort being unbiased 🤣

That’s a good question. The examples I’ve seen have basically been expressing support for, or ecstasy from, his murder.

But no doubt there will be a sizable number merely calling him a POS or whatever.

The woman who was fired from Ball State said nothing insane, yet she was fired.

But the snowflake right viewed it as cheering for Kirk's death when it was nothing of the sort.

🤷‍♂️

I guess the school administration viewed her comments differently from you. 🤷‍♂️

lol ball state

I recommend a simultaneous poll that's not anonymous - for comparison purposes.

But then again, I just had three shots of whatever

If someone picks C in this poll are they expressing "support" for his murder?

This poll makes no sense and conflates everything from the assassination, to the flags at half mast to Kimmel's departure. Aren't we allowed to have an opinion on each thing individually?

Yes, his assassination was a national tragedy (as any prominent figure being assassinated would be). No, flags should not be at half mast. And Jimmy Kimmel was suspended because he is unfunny, his ratings were terrible and he sealed own fate with insensitive comments that damaged his professional credibility.

Little of column B, little of column C, and a little of column D

Yeah. This is bad for the country any way you slice it.
