    I’m guessing either Hubert Humphrey, or the original Unigate milk snatcher (watch out, watch out etc) or its meaning - Peaceful Warrior.

    Either way, doubt the murder of an extremist broadcaster by another probable extremist is going to resonate in the same way as JFK’s killing did 62 years ago.

    I thought Hubert but our returning agitator will have to clarify

    Regarding JFK v CK, only time will tell IMO, the difference is how the world is now connected. One thing that's shocked me is the number of members of the (US) education cohort who have (really stupidly/naively) openly expressed their hatred of CK, many of whom are now or who will soon be looking for alternative employment. I'll correct myself, its either stupidity/naivety or a determination to stand up for their principles.

    Why on earth would that surprise you. That cohort is always bolshie and gobby

    Personally I'd never heard of him before he was shot, so cannot really express any comment beyond the senseless waste of a human life. I cartainly wont be regaling in his death or for that matter grieving. I suppose it points to the dangers of ccreating yourself into a social media icon as I am informed he was.

    At least there hasnt been a WLM George Floyd like reaction in the strreets of Orem. Probably not enough shops to burn and loot...the Target store at 175 West Center Street is soooooo small and so few consumer electronic goods on offer
