Charlie Kirk's Murder: My Reaction
Sep 10, 2025 | By Rudyard Kipling

Posted on 09/10/2025 3:00:00 PM PDT by 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

The fake media is the enemy of the American people. The fake media and fake journalists are the head of the snake. When a rattlesnake strikes you better cut its head off before it bites you!

“This was an assassination.”

We should never refer to it as anything else.

As that meme states, just waiting until no risk of jail for f*cking things up

I must reluctantly agree with you. 9/11 did not wake this country up. So perhaps nothing will.

But I’m not completely without hope. The boss now is Donald Trump. Trump is a blend of Patton and Reagan. He’s no George W. Bush.

I am sickened by this cowardly act. President Trump needs to implement a new gun control that prevents ALL non conservatives from possessing a firearm or weapon of any type. Also, anytime such an act occurs the Father, Mother, or next of kin will be put to death along with the perp. And their pet if they have one and all the families assets given to the victims survivors.

I've heard that far too many times in the last 30 years.

Unfortunately, I have to agree. I wish it was different.

Retaliation against the leftist pundits stoking hatred would be acceptably just!

I do not know what the ultimate response will be to Mr. Kirk's assassination which now adds to the rest of the long train of abuses that have been heaped upon liberty loving Americans. I do know that if it progresses to open conflict though, it will be neither quick nor a guaranteed victory. It will be like all war, a temporary Hell on Earth.

I pray God gives us the wisdom and courage to do what is right. To take the necessary course to restore our Republic and secure the blessings of peace and liberty for our posterity once more and vanquish those who would see her and the people who love her destroyed.

Which is why I’M NOT GOING TO CALM DOWN as has been suggested.

I won’t wait for the lanterns in the Old North Church.

Another good guy gone, and no real punishment will be forthcoming. Oh, sure, they might find the shooter and punish him, but that’s not where the blame is.

Well put. I’m sick to my stomach. He had a young family, He was an awe inspiring and tireless defender of our freedom. May God bless him and comfort his family. Not sure how to act, just trying to meditate right now.

I agree with you.

Something like what happened today in Rochester could be the catalyst. The feds can’t allow it and can’t retreat and Trump will not let them I don’t believe.

We are already seeing what happens when the entitled class are encouraged and believe what they get is being taken away. If not theirs in particular than that of others, like illegals, by example. It causes fear in them and fear is easily encouraged and is encouraged.

There is this: The official black lives matter account has posted a video stating that black people “have a right to violence”

https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/4339588/posts

All it takes is a little spark to start a fire. The summer of ‘20 was a little one.

It has to come one day. We can’t live like we are. Welcome to Kosovo. Time to cull the herd.

The Saxons alternately attacked and collaborated with the Romans, depending on the price (or the price of the loan forgiveness) and the outcome.

Kirk was a lying grifter and the stupid sheep and other grifters will sanctify him like a white George Floyd.

I will respectfully disagree.

RFK and Charlie Kirk were killed because of their potential.

MLK was an icon of African-Americans and I won't intrude on their memories and cultural identity. Today's youth need their own identity icon, and that will be Charlie Kirk.

It will become the mythology of what might have been.
