I'm heartbroken about Charlie Kirk!

Here was a guy who was not afraid to challenge and debate people on things that he believed in. What a cruel world this is that he was shot for telling the truth! I watched him every single day on Facebook. My thoughts and prayers are with his family!

Charlie Kirk effectively sacrificed his life for lax gun laws.

Further irony: Kirk rejects 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."

@ElwoodBlues So basically he was a sociopath?

@HoeBag I can't make a diagnosis; I'm just quoting Charlie Kirk. Kind of an appalling thing to say though, IMHO.

@ElwoodBlues True, of course anytime the conservatives do not agree with something, they say it is made-up or doesn't exist.

I mean *I* am no mental health specialist. I seem to recall "lacking empathy" being a big trait of a sociopath.

Ahh yes, here we go. He doesn't check all the boxes, just a couple.

@ElwoodBlues went not just condemn the killing… why is that so difficult for a lib? maybe because you support it?

@boudinMan Could you make that coherent?

went not just condemn the killing

makes no sense.

And @ElwoodBlues DID condemn this in the post:

And most liberals do not want violence, including political violence. But people from the right have been threatening violence for years, and Jan 6 showed it was more than just threats. We live in a dark time.
