Charlie Kirk (Turning Points USA) shot and killed during event in Utah; Suspect Tyler Robinson charged

[Ozymandeas]

These politicans and left wing influencers are scared of retaliation and their lives being in danger from this by the right

I get them trying to diffuse things. It’s self preservation

I don't blame them. If I'm AOC or Buttigieg or Kamala, I'd be trying to diffuse things too.

No, I won't be shedding any tears for Charlie Kirk - LGBTQ Nation

He spent his life fomenting hatred against me, my friends, and neighbors. And now we're supposed to fly flags at half-mast for him?

Nothing they say is going to make a difference to the angry right wingers they're worried about anyway. The only effect that kissing the asses of Nazis has is to legitimize their views and demoralize their own voters.

And again, not saying they can't release a statement against violence, I just hate people acting like Kirk was some admirable person.

Honest question why is the fbi involved in this case ? What's the justification for these resourcesbeing used, same thing with that health care CEO.

Because they get to use it as a political football.

Violence begets violence. Freedom of speech and thought is extremely important. It’s not you or me on the chopping block (for now). Someone like AOC receives death and rape threats all the time, she ain’t trying to get shot.

Agreed. We are not public figures. they are, they understand its a time of crisis.

Nobody is saying they need to condone violence though. Obviously that's not a good look.

I'm just tired of people glazing this white nationalist bigot and treating him like he was MLK or something.

So it’s for sure for sure that he had a vest on?

I haven't read much about it today for whether that was officially acknowledged but the outline is clearly visible and it's hot there so it's not like it would be anything else lol

I feel you on the MLK tip for sure.

I get it, because I wouldn't want some psycho taking a shot. I don't have Secret Service protection, but sanitizing that devil is not it. Say you feel bad for the children, nobody should be shot, but he said what he said and I'm not shedding any tears.

The world is a better place without him.

He wasn’t at the 9-11 tribute for this. Remember that.

They shouldn’t be in public office.

The dark humor in the past 24 hours on social media.

Might be top 3, it doesn't surpassed the Queen's death and Jan. 6.
