People here who are normalizing and celebrating the death of a 31 year old father of a 1 and 3 year old whose occupation was to do open debates with college students, all for the crime of disagreeing with them on social and political issues are the current scourge of society and the reason this has happened.


You may think this was a victory now, but the consequence for this violence will be violence from the opposite side.
You guys are really stupid if you think your dear left wing journalists, news editors, politicians and influencers haven't just become targets of an army of nut jobs from the other side of the aisle.

Nobody dehumanized Kirk they just quoted him. If his words were acceptable for others why are they not acceptable for him?
my point which you seem to be deliberately missing is that nobody who is progressive or a believer in human rights has any reason to stoop to trump, or charlies levels.

" The country is better off with Kirk dead"

if you really think this person was so bad, why do you think its okay someone murdered him? Or maybe you don't and are antagonizing, but people are happy he is dead in this thread thats already fact. But, he's never killed anyone right? He was just an innocent, albeit ignorant, human.

I don’t think it is ok someone murdered him. I stated that early in the thread. I’m not happy he is dead because it is dsngerous for the country because righties are already calling for revenge instead of trying to bring people together.

That doesn’t change the fact Kirk was a henious piece of crap and the country is better off without his kind of rhetoric. Have you seen the quotes?

I won’t miss racist shit like this

You feel the need to lie in justifying your post

We don’t know who is responsible or motive. For all we know Kirk banged someone’s wife and it was an angry spouse.

The only person who normalized death was Kirk when he said it’s worth it to sacrifice a few lives to keep 2A in tact. He lived and died by his OWN WORDS

Yeah right. Charlie never even got close to losing a debate with any liberal idiot, he shut everyone down. Most stomped off or changed their minds and voted for Trump. Result was a win of the popular vote. That's why they had to kill him. He was unbeatable and his logic absolutely on point.

Most of the posts I am reading here are political violence is bad but "I'm glad he's dead."

Charlie will live on in all of us who believe in all that is true and beautiful.
I'm not going to celebrate his dying, but he was a terrible human being. That's objective, especially repulsive was how he was fighting to help get the person who nearly beat Paul Pelosi to death out of prison. He was a hateful asshole and anyone who he'll live on inside of is probably a hateful asshole too. He didn't deserve to die, but I won't shed a tear over his death.

Right wingers have been shooting progressive influencers and politicians in open crowd events, killing them in front of their own kids?



Yeah, you're about to have a reality check.
Rather specific. You know Democrats have been targeted. Some Foreign Government may have done this, many have reasons to.

Once again Republicans blaming Democrats when we don’t have a suspect or motive. GOP not interested in peace



What they want is a way to vent all of that pent up racist hate they've had to hold back on since they lost the Civil War, frustration from not being able to perpetrate all of the things the KKK used to get away with and being pissed off from not being able to really put the uppity tinted sub-humans who are poisoning the blood of America back in their place. A black man being elected as president was the scariest thing that could ever happen to them. So they'll take any chance they can get to pin the blame on the folks who made these "Native Americans" (as they like to think of themselves) so filled with rage because they can't get rid of the threat to their alleged superiority the way they would so dearly hope to what with public lynching, burnings at the stake and slavery being outlawed and such.

For all we know it could have also been this character:

1757582902563.png


Or anyone of the other thousands who would consistently throw death threats at him and his family.

Who are the purveyors of violence? Here is a montage of right wing responses.
That you had to cherrypick from an entire social network when anyone could also just make an equivalent montage out of this very own thread speaks volumes.

The southern Democrats are angry that they lost a war 150 years ago and can't own slaves anymore, so they shot a Republican yesterday?

Coming from the biggest name calling racist on this forum. Nazi much? When somebody states "FAFO" they are pretty much condoning the act.


Really? Example. Or are you upset most of us aren't crying a river right now?

Your reading skills are as bad as @Hulk since almost all of us have stated this kind of political violence is unacceptable and will do more harm in the future.

But don't let facts get in the way of your name calling.
