Charlie Kirk's Murder: My Reaction

Sep 10, 2025 | By Rudyard Kipling

[Lazamataz]

Regarding Charlie Kirk's murder, I have only this to offer:

It was not part of their blood,
It came to them very late,
With long arrears to make good,
When the Saxon began to hate.

They were not easily moved,
They were icy — willing to wait
Till every count should be proved,
Ere the Saxon began to hate.

Their voices were even and low.
Their eyes were level and straight.
There was neither sign nor show
When the Saxon began to hate.

It was not preached to the crowd.
It was not taught by the state.
No man spoke it aloud
When the Saxon began to hate.

It was not suddenly bred.
It will not swiftly abate.
Through the chilled years ahead,
When Time shall count from the date
That the Saxon began to hate.

-- Rudyard Kipling

...insisted that I should use "murder?"

I didn't INSIST you do anything. I SUGGESTED that you fell into the trap of letting your opponent set the narrative through the words you use.

He’s been banned or suspended

[Jane Long]

Get off the forum you leftist pot stirrer.

I thought you’d been shown the door. How did you manage to crawl back in??

[ShadowAce]

He’s gone.

[KC Burke]

Twelve years of terrorist activity against independent people of the Right. When Trump first won in 2016 the left abused government to terrorize those that supported him. The next year they shot Congressmen. They framed his advisors to terrorize those that would work for Trump. The staged Jan 6 and terrorized all they could frame and entrap. Act after act — Terrorism.

The left did it in Russia, Spain, europe and they will continue. It is Marxist Left Communists.

Democrats.

[Jane Long]

Hyperbole???

Sheesh.

[Jane Long]

He’s gone.

Wow ... that was a nice, fast, repeat ZOT!

I SUGGESTED that you fell into the trap of letting your opponent set the narrative through the words you use.

And I rejected your narrative that it was murder, and you called it hyperbole.

Good for you but not for me?

Well, Trump fortunately survived. Kirk was assassinated and the left is jubilant about it.
I am seriously disturbed down to my soul.
The left doesn’t know what they’ve done.

[philman_36]

What amazing elucidation you have.

[rlmorel]

Good God, Laz. That feels so appropriate for this situation.

[Jane Long]

Thank you.

Likewise.

[JerseyDvl]

Thanks for that Laz. Charlie has been martyred for his religion and beliefs. It’s important to make sure his legacy, memory, and influence only grows.

I pray that the bstrd is never allowed back on here.

If I remember right, he was a retread way back in 2013.

[philman_36]

This wasn't a crime of passion, it was meant to change the course of history.

Lighten up on the hyperbole. He wasn't even in public office.

And I rejected your narrative that it was murder, and you called it hyperbole.

His assassination will hardly change the course of history.

That IS hyperbole.

You didn't even understand the point I was making and now you conflate one point with another.

You're not very good at this.

[philman_36]

Sarcasm eludes you as well, it seems.

[Political Junkie Too]

Whatev...
