Fair enough. Don't think you should be killed over it though. Certainly shame them.
I didn't want him killed over it either. I do stick by my statement the country as a whole is better off with him dead. Because he is someone with a huge following and loads of political influence that openly celebrated the deaths of Democrats.

Half listening to CNN while I'm killing laughing smart ass pigs, some talking head says this isn't the country I grew up in. I'm like uh, what about starting in the 4th grade, JFK, then I think RFK, then Martin Luther King before I was even out of Jr. High School Yes, this is the country you and I grew up in!
It was Martin then Bobby.

Don't be surprised if the FBI makes up shit about the shooters political affiliation just to gain power for themselves.

Or they will falsely accuse him of being gay or trans. I'm sure Fox is already spinning up their conspiracy machine.

On the other hand, I would not underestimate the power of a martyr.

Prediction:

Orders of magnitude more rage about a nitwit that suggested exactly this was worth it for the 2A than there ever has been for kids killed in a school shooting.

These people are fucking ghouls.
Worth it to protect our "God given rights." Well, God has spoken...

Charlie: "People say, oh, Charlie, how do you stop school shootings? I don't know."

So, Charlie died unknowing. One less know-nothing.

I did not wish for the assassination of this piece of shit subhuman scum, only because of the potential fallout though. Since he is dead, well, the world's a better place when someone that evil is erased. That fucker has blood on his hands and he is a part of the modern American Nazi movement. The only good Nazi is a dead Nazi.

Do I need to qualify that with "within our country"? I'd bet you'd like to see an uprising against the current gov't though. As for WW2, Europe wasn't our problem. But FDR was a war hawk.

I see we can add illiterate to your stable of accomplishments. You should investigate what Hitler thought about making his plans very much our problem.

Trump already put out a trial balloon on eliminating the second amendment. It's gonna happen and would have without this shooting. I could have told you this on election night. First it'll be trans people but eventually it'll be everyone not on his allies list.
Of course it was going to happen, or at least be attempted as a fascist/dictatorship doesn't work with armed citizens.

The Keystone Kops have now had to release the latest person they said was a suspect which means the shooter is still on the loose.

When you can't win the debate, kill the debater. This is what you are all espousing. Don't worry, Charlie and his cause will continue with 100x the vigor it had last week.

Yet another right-wingtard projectionist.

No one here has advocated for Kirk's death. Nor have they justified it.

Meanwhile Kirk himself celebrated the attempted murder of Paul Pelosi and called his attacker a "Patriot."

What you're seeing here is a lack of empathy, NOT any sort of justification for murder.

But keep projecting the blood lust of the right-wing.

Try harder.

Weird, are you projecting your own feelings again or just confused by apathy?

Please show your work as to how you arrived at “all” advocating for killing the debater.

Or is this where you state an assertion and then run when asked to support it?

Like Thunder 57 your issue with p&n is that you think being asked to actually support what you say with verifiable evidence is “mean”. That’s why so many conservative posters here eventually bitch out. Because you can’t support your statements and deep down you don’t like the embarrassment.

I'm sure you heroically posted similar sentiment when some Democrats were assassinated a few months ago.

I disagreed with Charlie Kirk and felt that Gavin Newsome doing a podcast with him was beyond weak and emblematic of what is wrong with the Democratic Party.

His murder at a public event raises all sorts of concerns about the First Amendment in regards to those who rely on it to be able to speak their minds about controversial heated topics in online video streams and other forums.

Now I am worried about revenge assassinations. Given these intensely divisive times I'd say it's a real risk.
