After Kirk assassination, political left social media posts list 'next' targets

(The Center Square) – In the wake of the assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, thousands of social media posts appear to list politically conservative targets for assassination by the political left.

Those on the list include podcaster Joe Rogan, Harry Potter author JK Rowling, conservative political commentators Ben Shapiro and Matt Walsh, among others.

In response to being targeted, Rowling, said, “If you believe free speech is for you but not your political opponents, you're illiberal. If no contrary evidence could change your beliefs, you're a fundamentalist. If you believe the state should punish those with contrary views, you're a totalitarian. If you believe political opponents should be punished with violence or death, you're a terrorist.”

Shapiro said, “We will never stop debating and discussing. We will never stop standing up for what America is and what she should be. And we will never let Charlie’s voice die.”

Walsh also said people were sending him screenshots of posted death threats, saying, “A lot of concerned people are sending me these screenshots (and dozens more). I appreciate their concern. But I’m not surprised and I won’t be going into hiding. We have to be louder and bolder now than ever. Or else the demons who killed Charlie win. And they cannot win.”

I can't believe the Woke/Antifa types really want a showdown.

Do they not know how that turns out?

“Sadly, we aren’t the only ones strapped..”

No, of course not.

But consider the sheer numbers. And also the TYPES of weapons. And the ammo stockpiles.

And the past training. And practice.

They cannot believe they’d win that fight.

They’ve been marinated in Marxist ideology that a violent Communist revolution is necessary. How many times have we seen AK-47’s on their signs and T-shirts? Countless. They WANT a war. In their minds it’s necessary to achieve their goals. We can only be glad that its way harder for them to get their hands on explosives than it was for groups like Baader-Meinhof, Red Brigade, Weather Underground, and many others, because they’d use them if they could.

Charlie Kirk is fast becoming a prodigious martyr.

The left may soon rue the day that one of their own took it upon themselves to murder him.

Incitement to violence is not free speech and there should be consequences.

They can’t stop Charlie Kirk’s message. The left will lose. Quote from the 2005 “Serenity” movie by Mr. Universe fits right here: “Can’t stop the signal, Mal. Everything goes somewhere, and I (Charlie Kirk’s msg) go everywhere.”

They believe they will win. They cannot be persuaded otherwise, and they are not going to stop what they are doing.

We will be forced to prove they are mistaken. That will not be done by words.

"The Troubles" are just starting.

Well, I wouldn't blame them for making that assessment. We fell asleep. What have we done the past couple of decades?

Joe McCarthy and the "Red Scare". Then the election of Donald Trump in 2016. Otherwise, we haven't done anything. Not even Ronald Reagan.

Someone should use FOIA to obtain a list of all High School teachers, and college profs & instructors, who participated in the indoctrination of either Kirk's assassin or the Mangione guy.

Publish it in terms of: "Conservative parents: if you don't want your children to be indoctrinated into becoming haters of America, and assassins of innocent people whose politics offend them, then keep them away from this list of Indoctrinators: ...."

And to those tiny few Leftists who decide to become "breeders" - as you term it - feel free to use this list to ship your offspring off to Re-education camps that have a stellar record of turning them into crazed zombots.

They would not follow Geneva Conventions. It is dangerous to assume the future will become to our liking.

“can’t believe the Woke/Antifa types really want a showdown.
Do they not know how that turns out?”

For the most part, they’ve gotten away with murder.

I had an encounter with them about midnight of the night my community burned in the Almeda fire 5 years ago.

I was parked in front of a grocery store in a little town 30 miles north..all the freeways and motels were closed.. Covid. I was waiting for news if I still had a home.
Car was covered with Trump stickers...
5 black clad dudes, masked on motorcycles rode in and parked behind me 200 ft. I’m watching in the rear view mirror, trying to sleep... they’re pointing and laughing, high fives.

Then they started buzzing around the car on their motorcycles. One slapped the back of the car... scared my poor Bugs the cat.

I just wasn’t in the mood. And I wasn’t sick and traumatized yet.
I slammed a holster on the dash, rolled down the window and said.... I can’t repeat, but evidently they thought I was crazier than them and left.

Antifa will kill us all if we don’t stop them.
They had been camped at a local park a couple of weeks harassing locals..300 miles south of Portland, when the arson proven urban fire broke out.

I’ve talked to many of these people online and in person. For the most part they are completely oblivious to the possibility of being subjected to the mob violence they are advocating. Murdering innocent Conservatives is very exciting to them. Going through the grind, hardship and expense of preparing for the retaliation is not fun and therefore isn’t even considered.
