After this I’m going to try to stop beating this particular dead horse…

But regarding Charlie Kirk…
I’m not celebrating his death. I am amazed at the irony by which it occurred because one rarely sees such karma in real time. I hadn’t thought about him before the shooting, and he likely won’t remain in my thoughts once he’s out of the news.

But to folks like the fellow yesterday who called me "evil and cruel" and wished me harm because I can’t quite love my enemies (and who demonstrated he’s no different):

Suppose this had happened to Louis Farrakhan or Al Sharpton ? Would you be urging all this compassion and empathy for their loved ones ? Call me skeptical; I know my countrymen.

I don’t celebrate the individual’s death and knew nothing about him other than he wasn’t of any interest to me personally. However I refuse to whitewash the facts, he was a right wing extremist and Christian nationalist. His death was the result of a conflict between GOP supporting activists that didn’t agree with each other’s views. The GOP then tried to make the narrative suit their agenda and pull the Democratic Party into it. We had no part in this unfortunate event.
@AbstractWave Exactly, and we rarely do. Our platform isn’t the one that advocates picking up a gun to solve all problems.
