European Parliament snubs request for Charlie Kirk minute of silence after assassination
Fox News ^ | September 11, 2025 8:40pm EDT | Emma Bussey

Members of the European Parliament dramatically refused a request to honor Charlie Kirk with a a moment of silence in the chamber Thursday. […]

Swedish MEP Charlie Weimers of the European Conservatives and Reformists group, asked colleagues Thursday to pause proceedings in the house and to “declare that our right to freedom of speech cannot be extinguished.”

Weimer’s wish was supported by members of Germany’s AfD and France’s Identity Liberties movement.

But European Parliament President Roberta Metsola denied the request and said procedural rules requiring tributes had to be formally submitted at the opening of a plenary session. Since that session had already taken place on Monday, Metsola noted a tribute could still be scheduled for October. …

It’s a shame the assassination wasn’t better scheduled to align with those plenary sessions openings. /sarc

Not a big deal to me…
1. Charlie Kirk was an American icon…
2. Most of Europe does not believe in, practice, or allow free speech.

Apart from Italy’s Prime Minister there’s not a single leader in Europe who doesn’t hate us...and,more importantly,doesn’t hate Trump.

And so we should only protect Europe, or specific portions thereof, when it aligns with out values and/or interests.

The U.S. does not owe the present generation of Europeans anything but the truth. The present generation of Europeans owes the U.S. alot; ie., that they have any freedom or prosperity.

The assassin failed to check with them first. Everyone knows to do this. It is just like you have to make dinner reservations. Geez, what a dummy. The next one must plan better.

Individual people around the world have expressed sympathy and they’re the ones who count, not some hoity toity socialist or worse group. Fine, schedule it for October with all the paperwork and long hours of discussion instead of a minute or two now so they can get on with destroying the world. Might as well pencil in these moments for the future because the world is getting hot.

The Euro Peon response demonstrates just how much those morons overseas rely on America for their own existence. Many of those Euro Peon countries would have folded a long time ago if America hadn’t thrown them in the wagon and dragged their worthless asses along into the future. They hate President Trump because everything he does affects their worthless daily lives. Their “leaders” are only worthless figureheads. Royalty without crowns.

This behavior is a great litmus test to see who is good and who is evil.

This parliament is evil.

It’s not even a real parliament. They don’t have the power to write any laws; that power rests with the unelected European Commission, who also passes the laws after the toy parliament either votes up or down on them.

Did we need any more evidence of the evil that stalks the EU and dominates EU governance with a few notable exceptions?

Go onto X.

There are plenty of UK residents tweeting their support and their thoughts and prayers for Charlie Kirk...

Cases in point...

The UK’s Deep State passed the Online Safety Act because its people refused to submit.
