As much as I dislike this guy's politics, this is horrible and never should have happened.

Yes I heard of the tragic fetal shooting that left Charlie Kirk dead.

We should turn down the political heat and bring the nation together.
This doesn’t help anyone, violence doesn’t solve anything especially political violence.

I keep bringing up Trump during Covid19, I prayed for him because POTUS means something. Even though I was growing further Left politically, I prayed for his survival. Charlie Kirk is an American, just that alone deserved prayers and it is another thing to be yet another victim to the gun violence epidemic facing America. He passed away due to a politically motivated assassination.

Be kind, compassionate, show your soft side, and be neighborly especially to those you don’t see eye to eye with because you do see eye to eye as wanting the best for the country you love even if it is different visions. That should mean something, so hold onto that and wish each other good health and better days.

Who is "we"? Like Ukraine, there's only one side that can bring things back to normal, and they don't want to. Both-siderism brought us to this point.

[MisterWack]

@goaded Well, it is “we” as a country. I will admit one side’s rhetoric is pushing the needle with extremism more than the other however poking fingers in itself is divisive during a time that should bring us together.

A solution to the gun violence epidemic and mental health crisis also political climate.

[goaded]

Not pointing out what's happening is a really bad idea, like not gerrymandering California would be, given Trump explicitly asked for it in Texas to get more House seats.

Going high just makes it easier for them to hit you below the belt.

[MisterWack]

@goaded In that way, yes that’s true

[goaded]

I'll repeat this opinion from another question:

We must reject political violence in EVERY form.

Anyone remember what the response was to Paul Pelosi nearly being killed?

[dustybiker2]

It's dif when it's a bro man.

[goaded]

"The man who targeted and killed Democratic state Rep Melissa Hortman was a Trump supporter.

The man who targeted the home of Dem Governor Josh Shapiro was a Trump supporter.

The men who wanted to hang Mike Pence on Jan 6th were Trump supporters.

The man who targeted and killed the son of Obama-appointed District Judge Esther Salas was a Trump supporter.

The man who tried to kidnap Nancy Pelosi and assaulted her husband was a Trump supporter.

The men who were convicted trying to kidnap Dem Governor Gretchen Whitmer were Trump supporters.

The man who sent pipe bombs to the homes of Obama and Biden was a Trump supporter.

There is no equivalent or even similar list of Obama or Biden supporters who have carried out similar murders, attempted murders, or violent attacks."

Oh thanks for that. I needed a compiled list for a reply on another site.

[dustybiker2]

You piss off armed countries people get shot. What can I say.

[dustybiker2]

I love all of the "Leftist shit." Comments. In these Q's all over gag.

Never been to a gun range. Any of them. Sea of these things.

[Julie07]

It's a normal day in the USA, not really newsworthy. .

[Sevenpointfive]

and Utah'd it too! me too. crazy!

i'm telling you. pre-crime is coming. minority report warned us! it's going to be called "the israeli defense". i thought they were going to do something, so i killed them before they could.

[thegreenyogi]

I heard it on the news this morning. Gun shooting is really a big problem in the US it seems.

[ProbablyClueless]

Yeah… I sure fucking wish people would have taken me more seriously when I waved the red flag about this shit happening back 5 and 10 years ago.

[DrPepper12]

Good riddance to promotion of his vitriol & divisiveness.

That said, political violence MUST be condemned as loudly as his shtick.

[beefcakebradybatson]

Yes, and it was disgusting though Kirk was a POS.
