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 mind-set of the people who do these things is that people like the late Mr. Kirk and Donald Trump are destroying democracy. IT’S JUST THE OPPOSITE- they are hell bent on silencing ANY opinions that go against their own. DAMN THEM ALL TO HELL..
I hope I’m wrong but I think we can count on copy cats.
I only visit this zoo once a blue moon to see how freakish it’s gotten.
We both know you monkeys would be singing a different tune if it was AOC.
But because it was one of the grifters that has destroyed the conservative movement and turned it into a bunch of freaks spouting conspiracies and supporting all kinds of insane and illegal shit, like troops marching on our streets, you’ll cry your crocodile tears.
Lighten up on the hyperbole. He wasn't even in public office.
This was done to eliminate effective communication, IMO.
Now there will be ten people who will take up the mantle, just like with with Breitbart.
Kipling, in my opinion, was the greatest master of the English language that ever lived. He captures the soul in a way that Shakespeare only dreamt of. Thank you for posting that.
Was he disrespectful? I think he was calling trans folks all insane just before the bullet got him.
That said, if no shooter is arrested, most likely it’s Russian grey terror due to it coinciding with Russian provocations in Poland.
Kipling had the right of it. The Gods of the Copybook Headings will accompany us.
Condescending presumption. What a nuanced position.
He was going to be in time.
You're accusing me of hyperbole after taking a simple comment with the word "killed" and insisted that I should use "murder?"

Neither was MLK.
Second time this year I have agreed with a Gator.
Truly a sign of the end times.
BEWARE.
Let this be the left’s Pearl Harbor moment in America.
Well, AOC hasn’t been shot, and won’t be , because we don’t believe in stifling opposing views by killing the person expressing them, unlike your kind. You apparently think it’s ok to do that, however. Go away and celebrate, moron.
NOPE! The movement didn't shut down (the desire) and continued on.
Riiiiiiiight….
Sorry…can’t handle rap. Turned it off.
Pray we never meet. Or not. That would be fun.
I trust that should the left make the huge mistake of igniting a proper Civil War, that the 500,000,000 guns in the almost exclusive hands of Conservatives will win quickly. Bloody. But quick. Say 3 months?
Cities full of leftists will be starved out in about what, 20 days?
Mixed neighborhoods will have short sharp battles that we win in a few days through overwhelming firepower and skill (hunting).
Horrible. To be cautioned against. Millions dead. But we win.
