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

No, that guy was always an obnoxious jackass. He relished his role.
"They are minions of Satan."
Wow…that was powerful. I’d never heard that before. (I had to look up “hineni.”)
Thank you for posting that.
Someone today said these words to him, “Well, bye”.
You are projecting, my guy. I think AOC and the idiot squad are disgraceful and disgusting; I cannot, however, imagine wanting them to be killed for their abhorrent behavior. I certainly cannot imagine celebrating their deaths. There is a difference between the far left and the far right. I don’t believe that people deserve to die because I don’t like what they say. That’s insanity; that’s the left.
Sometimes Puny’s antics are mildly amusing. Tonight, however, I’m glad he’s riding the lightning. ⚡️
You are welcome.
Horrible circumstances we are now under.
Who will speak the truth on college campus now?
We will never give up.
Charlie Kirk is now legion.
When he died, there were thousands of him created.
I’ve run out of tolerance for people like that.
The poem, like all of Kipling’s works, expresses the situation very elegantly.
Only difference I have is that I have long held that allowing hate or any other strong emotion adversely affects concentration and aim.
Replacing “hate” with Cold Fighting Fury doesn’t fit in the poem so I’ll just make that mental adjustment for myself.
NO !!!
President Donald J. Trump won’t and doesn’t need to create any more “gun control” !!!
He knows that the PROBLEM IS NOT THE INANIMATE FIREARM, IT IS THE demonratcommieblmantifaterrorscumfeminaziguanopathicpedophilegoatrapers AND THE SICKNESS IN THE MIND OF THEM IS THE PROBLEM !!! ALONG WITH THE A$$M€D!A AND POLITICAL SCUMBAGS OF THE LEFTIST MINDSET DRIVING THE THOUGHTS INTO THE MUSHY SKULLS OF THE FOLLOWERS…
Prayers for The Kirk Family and Friends.🙏🙏🙏🇺🇸
No. They are in the same boat we are in. Too many fools and idiots. Plus they have too many muslims. And We are getting too many muslims.
They were not “security lapses”. They were carefully planned and deliberate.
Thanks, Bikk; Puny’s first comment was stunning. Then he kept right on with the garbage posts. Ugh…creep. Glad he got the zot!
Thanks for rounding up the Kitties!
Je suis Charlie.
The Left: Your speech is violence.
Also the Left: Our violence is speech.
Trump wasn’t assassinated but let us not forget Corey Comperatore was.
"I wonder if some libtard hijacked that ID."
I never ran across him but you are the third or fourth person to tell me that.
Liberals conflate evil with “hate”. Normal people hate that which is evil. Liberals saying they are against “hate” is nonsense. It is a purposeful redirection from traditional morality into an unmoored relativistic Kafka realm.
