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

Posted on 09/14/2025 6:35:27 AM PDT by MtnClimber

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.

“allegedly sharing opinions on social media about the killing”

How can it be “alleged” if it’s right there on the internet?

Glenn Beck said on Friday Charlie Kirk asked him the exact same question - what’s next?

Beck said “assassinations.”

He was right. Remember they tried to assassinate Trump twice, and almost did.

The left feel it is their duty to destroy those with whom they disagree. Charlie Kirk believed in civil debate. Left can’t have that, they lose every time.

Matter of time before t-shirts, with pics of his ugly face “we love Tyler”, “FREE Tyler” start appearing.

Did you notice how they made it that these people were “doxed or fired” for merely criticizing Charlie Kirk.

No, the ones that were dancing on his grave and happy as larks were the people losing jobs over it.

They have always criticized Kirk and Charlie knew that. That is why he engaged in civil discourse with them.

The problem here is the obvious happiness that a person was murdered in cold blood. It is sickening how depraved the left has become. It is that disregard for human life for political reasons that has brought about the public shaming and firing of them.

I guess I can say “they deserved it and more”.

I have a cousin who is a loonie but also a minor hash user/dealer. If he says one nasty thing about Charlie at Thanksgiving I am contacting the DEA.

This is all going predictably. The Democrat calls for "unity" as if the onus is on Republicans to offer, and immediately resuming the demonization. Then there will be a second event and I suspect it will be the tried-and-true false flag variety and that will be the spark to get the left into the streets at a level beyond 2020 and propelling waves of reciprocal assassinations, crashing and ebbing.

It looks like we're making a turn toward a book Matt Bracken hasn't written yet. It'll take a lot to remain non-fiction starting from the current situation. One side achieved a victory and sent an ambassador; the other sent him back headless. For the first time in a long time, the aggrieved party is no longer inclined to reconciliation. Both sides recognize the other as an existential enemy now, instead of just one.

Riots? No. We don’t riot.

Instead we should hijack the left’s 5-day national economic and labor boycott for 16-20 September.

Turn it into an anti-left event.

Or maybe better, do ours back-to-back with theirs?

Contrast their piddly little event with our real general strike shutdown.

Excellent piece. The author predicts the Left will not sit quietly while they get made out to be the Bad Guy. Bad Guy? That’s crazy talk! They’re the victim, of course. Those poor fired teachers and professors. Censored. Cancelled. And then, here come the riots on college campuses! Not sure if he’s right. I’ll have to give that some thought. For one thing, that crap is all orchestrated by the Soros puppet masters. Does it serve their purposes to riot at this time? I’ll think on that.

If a conservative had entered a Montessori school with the goal of killing children - and shot many and killed two - and some time later another conservative had murdered an up and coming popular democrat would the MSM say it was only the responsibility of the killers and had nothing to do with their politics?

The only reason the MSM wants us 'to all get along' is the killers and crazies on the left are hurting the democrat party's chances for the midterms. So when ABC described the assassin they said 'he had an American flag emblazoned on his shirt'... as if maybe he's a right winger. A lie. And a well thought out lie. That's ABC. For press bimbos the goal is to say it's NOT political when the killer is a democrat. For press bimbos and pretentious 'men' it's only political if a death can be used to damage Republicans. Again, think how this story would be covered if a conservative had shot up a liberal Montessori school followed by the assination of a popular democrat. The truth is that the nonstop hatred of Trump and the half of Americans who elected him is behind most of these left wing killers, looters, criminals, cartels, and dope pushers. Martha Raddich and her left wing goons have one job this morning and only one job - to limit the damage to the Democrat party. NONE of the liberals care about Charlie and his death or the killing of conservative school children. They want to 'all get along' to limit the damage to themselves.

Maybe someone will make paper targets with the murders face on it? Like they used to have a binladin target. Or is that politically incorrect?

The way political violence is normally handled throughout the world is the other side retaliates in self-defense. The people in this country who seem to approve of political violence, possibly half or more of the democrat party, will likely continue if there is no response.
