If by chance you were unaware of Charlie Kirk, who was assassinated while speaking at Utah Valley University this week, he was a very articulate debater who treated respectfully those who debated him. He espoused views which were perfectly normal, a defender of the West, Israel, and Christianity, enlightenment views which matched those of the Founders and are encapsulated in the Constitution. You may see videos of his debates on the internet. He was skillful at it and had thousands of young followers. Indeed, many consider his successful work a big factor in youth support for the President. As shocking as the assassination is -- an assassination which took place in the view of his wife and young daughter -- more shocking still was the outpouring online of vitriolic hate for him and support for his murder. There’s an odd juxtaposition in this. Some decades ago, Mao’s CCP encouraged critics of the communist regime to speak up. They were shocked to find out how much disagreement with their policies there was and the brave (or feckless) ones who believed the Hundred Flowers campaign was a genuine effort to encourage free speech found themselves in prison, re-education camps or dead.
In a way, I’m reminded of that campaign this week, people -- mostly educators, medical professionals, media members, government employees, and even some acting military and one Secret Service member -- expressed the most repulsive, anti-democratic views in supporting the assassination. They did so in the mistaken belief propagated mostly by teachers, universities, the media, Democrat officials, and celebrities, that these views were anodyne and held by all right thinkers. As they face consequences -- shunning, firing, loss of business, loss of visas -- many of these same people are posting videos of themselves crying in shock that the views

By the way, did he have on a plate over his chest and did the bullet richochet off of that? Haven’t seen actual proof...

I saw a video of Charles T-shirt worn by Charlie on that day and I could not see any signs of body armor or straps visible through the shirt. My observations are not definitive but I don’t think he was wearing any armor. The problem was that .30-06 round which was likely 180 gr. + was going to destroy any flesh and bone it hit. I heard the event had been announced approximately six days in advance so there was lots of time for a Deep State advance team to set up the stage for the hit. I think the association between the shooter and his “friend” is MKUltra choreography. The shooter’s uncle is also involved somehow. The shooter’s mind went south all of sudden and it obviously was through subtle but very effective mind control influencing.
> It’s also not an incitement to violence
> or they’d all be arrested
You mean like virtually every one that walked even near the Capitol on 1/6/21 was arrested for insurrection.
Lose an argument and change the topic. Great.
I do not think all Democrats are evil.
Hopefully 20 percent will finally give up on their long held ways and turn Republican and another 10 percent will simply stop voting D. With the old guard of Pelosi and Schumer at the end of their reigns and the Squad taking things so much further left there will be a shift.
You’re right.
Sorry for the red herring.
It does depend on the words used and the delivery, but many of the assassination cheerleaders are very clearly calling for more violence, even against Charlie’s widow and children.
If you facilitate evil then you are worse than evil.
Indeed some are, and I expect they will be dealt with.
The Left has been firing, excluding, and vilifying White men , conservatives, and Christians for years. To Hell with them.
We had that happening during floyd and covid.
I agree. The ones quietly working in the background. Many of these leftwing nutcases are actually quite intelligent and capable of pulling off another political murder. Someone right now is planning something equal to or worse than Charlie’s assassination. They have a plan, they have a weapon, they are not using social media to boast about it, they are not using their cell phones to talk about it.
Worse yet, portions of our deep state weaponized federal law enforcement agencies likely know of them, and are keeping quiet.
When the communists cannot win by election, then they terrorize by murder.
The nations problems worsened with our Kenyan President’s first and second terms. Things really went to hell with his third.
True.
My thoughts exactly.
“ But we won’t be happy when the left is back in power and turns mass firings around on conservatives who express views unpopular with the powers that be.”
Hey Scooter! That happened back in the Covid days.
Pay attention.

Clarice is 100% right to point the finger at Obama as the root cause of the left wing assassination culture. When Obama called us “bitter clingers” he gave permission to the zombie who shot Charlie Kirk. It’s all Obama’s fault.
The civil war is in progress on all the City State sanctuaries and minor sanctuaries like Rochester. All the sanctuaries have resigned from America. They are “formerly” American.
The object of a war is to destroy your enemy. A lesser objective including obtaining a surrender with terms merely prolongs the war until another day. The count of the number of deaths has begun. Counting Kirk and ICE officers, they have killed 4 or 5 of us and only one of theirs is dead.
The Democrats worked hard to paint Trump and all who followed him as evil Nazi’s, even Hitler (our cultural Devil). They did such a good job of this in their attempt to stop his political rise that many believed it true—many on the left still do. Many would cheer if Trump was the victim of an assassin thinking they saved the world from a madman. Its all false, many, most see it as such. But, a few do not, they believe it is gospel. Look at the way the “rumor” of Trump’s death was greeted by many? Many still believe the Russiagate lie. Look at the New Southpark cartoon—They even mocked Charlie Kirk. The goal is to turn Trump into Nixon and stop any reforms he makes—total focus on the negative side of all he has done. He is a “Taco”, can’t do anything right—evil that MUST be stopped. Time to end this lie.
There’s a reason for this. These fields have very few conservatives working in them, and they’re also areas of work where failure has no real consequences.
...Many of those on the left who espouse a hatred for Charlie Kirk have never taken the time to hear him in his own words....
Agree, so true.
They are told to hate those outside of their camp, so they do
They have ALL VOTED FOR EVIL, WHICH MAKES THEM EVIL ALSO! I PRAY THEY CHANGE.
They long ago marched through the educational and media institutions. Healthcare is a relatively new one for this, the spawn of tight corporate/government relationships post-”Covid” tyranny.
