BBC Correspondent: This feels like a dangerous moment in America
BBC News ^ | Sep 11 | Sarah Smith, North America editor

Posted on 09/11/2025 2:42:02 AM PDT by RandFan

Visibly angry and upset, Donald Trump described Charlie Kirk as a martyr for truth and freedom, as he paid tribute to a man he considered to be not just a close friend, but also someone who played a significant role in his re-election and in shaping the MAGA movement.

Trump directly blamed radical left-wing politics for contributing to this atrocity and other recent violent political attacks.

He noticeably did not mention recent murders and violent attacks against Democrats.

Often atrocities like this create an atmosphere of political unity.

Many senior politicians, both Democrats and Republicans, have responded by saying this kind of violence has no place in American democracy.

But there is also a widespread, furious and febrile reaction among followers of Trump and Kirk which is demanding retribution. This feels like a dangerous moment in America.

Registered, once, as an R in Oklahoma. Apparently non-partisan. Anti-abortion would be the main take-away. But weโ€™re not supposed to dig that deep. Democrats were killed. Thatโ€™s all the narrative requires.

Hey BBC, for a dangerous moment, you might want to take a look at what’s happening in your own country.

What recent murders and violent attacks against Democrats? You gonna try the Minnesota gambit? That guy claimed the US government trained him "off the books" and said Governor Tim Walz directed him to assassinate Amy Klobuchar so he, Walz, could take her place. You gonna try to call that political? The guy was obviously psychotic.

What's the next lie? Gabby Giffords? Look him up. He was an Independent, was not political and was judged incompetent to stand trial because he was a lunatic. Again, not political.

What else ya got? Paul Pelosi? That guy was a left leaning Canadian and by all accounts, another complete nutjob. Once again, not political.

Now, shall we talk about Steve Scalise? 2 attempts on President Trump? Charlie Kirk? The assassinations and attempts on others for political reasons have all come from Leftists. Many of these people are openly celebrating Luigi who murdered that healthcare exec in NYC. Guess what. Its all coming from the Left.

Read that guy’s letter to the FBI. He was completely psychotic.....ie completely break with reality, hearing voices telling him what to do, etc etc. He claimed to be acting at the direction of DEMOCRAT governor Tim Walz. He’s a lunatic.

All the violence committed against democrats were done by other democrats. None of those murders against the Minnesota and New Jersey state reps were right-wing gunman. They were perpetrated by left-wing killers. It’s almost ALWAYS the left.

95% of murders in the USA are committed by democrats. The vast majority of criminals in jail are democrats. The vast majority of Satanic Church members are democrats. Nearly all NAMBLA pedophile members are democrats. They gravitate toward all things evil.

No he did not mention the lie about vileness on our part to match leftist’s because it is not there. And about the unity part, only when suits demoncrats.

Our domestic media has been wringing their hands about this very idea with fears of “backlash against muslims” for almost two decades, and in recent years it’s been fears of “backlash against the trans community”. I don’t know if appalling is even adequate enough to describe this.

Minnesota legislators? Shot by another Democrat! Very dishonest by the BBC, but par for the course. Of course.

BBC - Biased Broadcasting Corp.

“He noticeably did not mention recent murders and violent attacks against Democrats.”

I guess, because there weren’t any.

Just America, BBBC?

Note the timing of Charlie Kirk’s assassination.

Our free speech event on Saturday is more important than ever. @charliekirk11 being murdered is not a reason to be scared & not to attend , itโ€™s actually the opposite. Charlie stood for me , Charlie stood for Britain & on the 13th Britain will stand to honour him ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ. Free speech matters

As the subject is politically-motivated violence and murders, I have absolutely no idea who he’s talking about as “victims”...

...neither does he.

Brits and other peoples of the world had better choose their words very carefully for the time being. The nonsense is over, conservative are done with the word games. This is a rather poor starting attempt. If others have nothing good to say about the man of America it may be wiser just to STFU.
