RIP Charlie Kirk

[frogmiller]

A young articulate man who was shot in the neck whilst debating students and teachers on a university campus.
He recently was at Oxford university doing the same.

He spoke freely and with courage. I hope that his murder can be something to be learned from but seeing people cheering his death is outrageous.

It seems freedom of speech is ok as long as people agree with it. RIP

Shameful that evil barbarians can use gunfire to stop free speech.

political assassinations are not justified in a so called free democratic west (lol). There are lots of things he said that i don't support, but this is wrong and unfortunately we live in a world where murder, rape and violence are accepted. I think humanity is regressing not progressing.
RIP charlie

Murdering people because of different views is abhorrent on all sides It?s good to see you have offered your condolences.
RIP tragic loss to his family and friends.

If only you had posted it at the time we could have been made aware.

The same people who kneeled for a career criminal. Shameful but extremely expected.

The classic ?What about?? deflection. Every time a tragedy unfolds, there you are?dusting off a link to a completely different atrocity as if it?s some kind of gotcha moment. Here's a thought: if that issue mattered to you so much, why didn?t you speak up when it actually happened? Where was your outrage then?

Silence? Thought so.

So unless your time machine is working, maybe sit this one out?or better yet, next time something happens that actually matters to you, try speaking up then, not after.

It's your usual form. Pathetic.

I wouldn't have posted what giddy did, but I feel it only fair to point out that it wasn't him that made this a political thread. Once that particular can of worms was opened by others it was only a matter of time before things turned nasty.

Assuming that the killing of Charlie Kirk was political, this and other political threads are, perhaps, indicative of the polarisation of society that allows such things to happen.

I have my views upon the roots of such polarisation, but will leave them in the box for the moment.

I will not post RIP for Charlie Kirk. It would be meaningless and hypocritical given that I had not heard of the bloke until today. That does not mean that I don't consider his death a tragedy, particularly as he has a young family and particularly if he died for something as pointless as his political beliefs.

I don?t believe for one minute that you didn?t know of Charlie Kirk.

It may be that you take more of an interest in American politics than I do (did he appear in your Twitter echo chamber perchance?) but I can assure you that I hadn't heard of him.

Just to add -ive watched Charlie debate with some real angry booogers - never saw him get rattled , methodical and pleasant to everyone - hope they catch the sick bstard who?s left two kids and a wife without the man they loved - electric chairs too good for him 😡and he will be caught !!
