Podcaster Charlie Kirk assassinated in broad daylight

Violence begets violence, nothing good comes from this kind of abhorrent behavior.

I have never really liked Charlie Kirk as I don’t like political neoconservatives or republicans in general, but killing people you disagree with is morally wrong. I don’t understand the mentality behind today’s actions.

I say that as a political Marxist and communist myself, if you disagree with people politically that’s what the debate stage is for. You debate your political opponents, you don’t go about murdering them.

Murdering people for their beliefs, opinions, or politics is not justifiable. This nation of ours is embarrassing to watch, it really is a sad state of affairs here.

There’s a reason I try to be anonymous as much as I can be on the internet where I don’t use social media whatsoever, too many whack jobs in this nation. :clown_face:

Also, where is he now? It’s been several hours. Has he been before the heavenly magistrate yet? And how does he get there? Do they send a chariot cab to pick you up? Or a portal of some sort that your spirit flies through after exiting the body.

These right wing heroes generally thrive on divisiveness. They are hate merchants.

Yet, I think the person who killed him really wanted to kill his idol.

I disagree. I mean, even disregarding the fact that I’m a (moral) nihilist. We are living in the American 1933.

Civil war isn’t going to help anybody, this sentiment by many neoliberals is fascinating. :clown_face:

One thing is sure, he was most probably against gun control, wasn’t he?

Kirk thought the status quo lax gun laws were worth the risk.

As long as the victims are not you or your family, it’s easy to talk. The guy commenting on his speech was spot on.

Most certainly:

Prominent conservative activist Charlie Kirk killed at event in Utah (PBS Newshour)

And he also speaks of “God-given rights” here, so surely he believes he’s now in Heaven. :innocent:

According to Republicans, he is going to heaven.

According to Democrats, his right place is in hell.

So, where is he now, exactly?

It’s wild and shameful to me that democrats along with neoliberals are celebrating the death of this man, a man who was publicly executed in broad daylight. This cold political civil war that is brewing inside this nation between both political parties is shameful and while I don’t particularly like republican ideology I truly feel sorry for his family. It’s disgusting how some people are celebrating this. It is possible to respect your political opponents without wishing death upon them.

There would be very brief celebration until neoliberals find out J.D. Vance is much more worse than Trump. :clown_face:

Bit weird to assume people care enough about what you think to kill you over it. There are public Klansmen who don’t have people trying to kill them.

You should be anonymous, but not because you don’t want to be shot in the neck.

Kirk said, “You will never live in a society when you have an armed citizenry and you won’t have a single gun death. That is nonsense. It’s drivel. But I think it’s worth it.”

“I think it’s worth the cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the second amendment to protect our other God given rights. That is a prudent deal. It is rational.”

As such, his death is unlikely to spark a new push among US conservatives for gun law reform mirroring the changes implemented in Australia after the Port Arthur massacre in 1996.

If you live by the sword, you die by the sword.
