After Charlie Kirk, what next – riots? Exactly!
American Thinker ^ | 13 Sep, 2025 | Ned Barnett

I want to go out on a limb and predict that the tragic death of Charlie Kirk will lead to protests and riots and chaos in the street.

However, it will not be led by Republicans outraged by the assassination of that great and good man.

It will – as it almost always has been – the work of Democrats, Democratic Socialists and those even farther out on the left wing of America’s political spectrum.

Please mark my words here. Charlie Kirk’s assassination will trigger violence, as it so often does, on college campuses. Maybe this weekend, almost certainly next week. There will be many – paralleling George Floyd, for instance, or the Ferguson riots in St. Louis – that started around an individual or a specific and narrow location.

Friday – yesterday as I write this – I saw the first inklings of the progressive left’s actions.

Don’t take my word for it.

Here’s what NBC, one of the vanguard far-left “mainstream media” has to say about this:

Following the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk this week, educators across the country have found themselves facing swift termination or potential discipline after allegedly sharing opinions on social media about the killing.

The epitome of a control freak.

Some people just can’t let others live and let live. They demand compliance to their worldview AT ALL COSTS.

I agree. But those on our side who don’t understand had better know that they will kill us all if they can. They will show us no mercy. This is a life or death battle.

“I’m OK with taking the guns from every Democrat.”

Unfortunately not all criminals are democrats. That’d be easy to fix. Matter of fact, hardly any are as those that fall under that category all just got in with the wrong crowd or had that identity as a liberal hidden by the media. Besides, it isn’t the liberal shooter’s fault because the liberals and the media say it is the gun’s fault, not the shooter’s. And I don’t think guns have an agenda that can match the liberal goverment/media version.

Usually groups who find themselves in a hole stop digging. Do lefties? Nope, they bring out the backhoe and blasting caps.

I'm now seeing a lot of social media posts claiming Charlie was racist, misogynistic, homophobic, name-your-insult.

That tactic is used so often by the Left, nobody will believe it.

The followers of Baal are not interested in becoming good people.
