I hate that so many people are urging compassion for a man who had absolutely none when it came to other people’s deaths, especially that of black men. I don’t celebrate anyone’s death. But here I’m not shedding any tears, either.
When Rep Melissa Hortman and her husband were killed earlier this year, when Senator John Hoffman and his wife were also shot, there were plenty of jokes. But nobody now defending Kirk said a mumbling word about that. 😞
@Carla I’m not laughing. But I’m not crying, either. Basically I’m shaking my head because if ever there were a case of someone who lived by the sword, dying by the sword (gun), this was it. 🤔
@bijouxbroussard no crying here either. He was a despicable man. The man that chose to end him is as well.
He was answering a gun control question when he was shot. He believed gun deaths were the price we pay for owning those very guns that ended him. I don't believe in karma. But...karma.
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security...."
@Therealsteve replaced, largely with ordinary public transportation. Americans choose brutality. Poverty kills more than the crashes. You think that's good, socialism was the only alternative so people had to die of poverty in the richest country ever.
Seems Charlie Kirk sacrificed his life for lax gun laws.
Further irony: Kirk wasn't expecting any empathy for or from his supporters.
"I can't stand the word empathy, actually. I think empathy is a made-up, new age term that – it does a lot of damage." — Charlie Kirk on 'The Charlie Kirk Show', Oct. 12 2022
The true colors of the left are shining bright today. Suppress logic, dissension, and free speech at all costs. When your position cannot stand on its own merit, eliminate the opposition.
@3Dogmatic They’re just showing Kirk the same amount of compassion that he has shown for others who were victims of gun violence…no more, no less. And Trump was convicted of those charges but was still allowed to run for president. I did indeed notice that, just as the Supreme Court was stacked in the GOP’s favor. Corruption, through and through.
@EBSVC People who are sitting on the fence with this one trying to play the moral high ground are privileged enough to never have been the direct target of his kind of hate.
The ones who cheered him on and grieve him honestly deserve the same fate.
Shootings are bipartisanly acceptable and guns are a part of your life! Cars kill and so does poverty. Americans don't want change. They're not leftists for peace. They have a WAR department.
@FoolishLuna everyone always is if they read what I wrote. Americans have an algorithm that universally bullies anti gun users and the population in the mainstream absorbed the algorithm by 2011. Mindset against answers mindset against seeing me except to bully, isolate and ridicule! Internet hegemony has been effective for them.

@Therealsteve Oh my god, another evangelical MAGA-loving bible thumper. Let me guess... your right-wing, 2nd Amendment mentality probably makes the blood all go away from all those kindergarten children that get gunned down because you believe the occasional death is just the cost of doing business in America, right?
@KingofBones1 So you are apologetic to murdering a father? A lot of people are taking note of who are making apologies for this. I reckon a lot of people who were once tolerant are finally reaching the end of their patience with these sick acts from leftists.
