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

We’re about to find out if you’re right, or wrong. Folks have been putting up with it a LONG time, so why change now?


Maybe because of what we’re witnessing, right now, in the UK ... they “put up with it” for decades .... now look.

Will they be able to get their country back from these evil leftists?

A more apt one I can’t think of, as troubling as it may be.

God help us.

Trump was an assassination attempt. This was an assassination.

><

We still do not know who was behind the Butler assassination attempt. It is pretty obvious the murderer had help. The security lapses seemed intentional.

I dearly hope so.

Tomorrow is Sept 11 and how long did that last?

We cannot let this fade again.

Words have gotten us here. Actions have gotten them there. We could be entering a words seem useless phase. Talk about a tinderbox.

This action is not acceptable in a civilized society. Assignation over thoughts is not acceptable. Supporting MSNBC and CNN with advertising which funds talking pundits who say this was Charles fault or Trumps fault for the use of "words" that the talking pundits do not agree with is not acceptable in our civilized society. Disagreement over words does not end with bullets!

Time to stop buying these advertisers products who advertise on CNN and MSNBC!

RIP Charlie, thank you for your efforts. We will not forget.

If it helps….

A conservative millennial said that a leftish Gen Zer friend mentioned this assassination. The leftish guy said, basically, I may not have liked Charlie Kirk, but I’d didn’t want him killed.

And yes…we’ve heard these things before.

But the graphic video may hold some moral sway with this generation.

if the youths are saying this…hope springs eternal.

RIP Mr Kirk.

Exactly. It’s either us or them, as much as it pains me to say it.

My reaction:

This is going to be today's youth's "Bobby Kennedy" moment. They will remember the day that Charlie Kirk died, how they felt about it, and possibly declare that they will be conservatives forever more.

Dana Perino made the comment that, while Kirk was not a politician, he was political. I would amend that to say that he was not a politician, yet. He might have been a viable presidential candidate in 20 years.

We'll never get to find out, but let's hope that being taken out by an assassin's bullet tells his fans that Kirk scared some people, and his fans owe it to Kirk's memory to carry on his legacy as conservatives for the rest of their lives.

You got that right.......Charlie’s ASSASSINATION was brought on by a Demon possessed, God hating, America hating left! We accidently saw these tic tock demons celebrating his death. I told my Hub that we were looking at some hell-bound, demon possessed young people that Charlie was trying to help and it’s so sad that they will burn in hell because of their actions. God only takes the best and Charles James Kirk was one of them. God please comfort Erica and Charlie’s family in this horrible time. ;(

I suggested it is an MLK Moment. RFK was a politician running for office.

MLK was killed for his opinions, just as Charlie.

Horrible.

I have had nightmares about her death. Now after seeing the video of Charlie getting shot...I just can’t.....

And 9-11 tomorrow with all its memories.

Why was this man killed?
Did he hurt anybody? Did he steal? Was he disrespectful to people? Did he sleep with another man’s wife? Did he murder people? Did he defraud people?

No. He was killed because he questioned people and their beliefs. He questioned, and for the Democrats that’s just too much for the “tolerant party” to tolerate. He was killed because he was on a trajectory to be POTUS. He was killed because he kept winning the debates because he was logical. He was killed because the truth about Democrats and the left is to painful for them to face.

Just like when MLK was murdered, there were democrats cheering. The message was to much for the Democrats. Just like the past, the Democratic Socialists today, no different than the past, cannot “tolerate” the truth.

Don’t be silent now. Don’t run from them, don’t hide because they can’t handle the truth. They are cowards, now the world knows what Obama and Biden birthed, Socialist violence.

That’s my humble opinion.
