Really wish these twitter detectives would let things play out before posting someone's ID everywhere.
Yup, we've seen how that's played out a number of times before. The wrong person gets doxed and their friends/relatives/work bombarded, lives ruined.

Decorum for the guy who said it was better under Jim Crow. Silence about snipers like Daniel Raab murdering children. It's so transparent. Hateful people acting like this because it was their own guy. He didn't deserve to die but he's certainly in Hell.
Charlie Kirk is almost certainly not in hell unless all generic Protestants are.

Fair. To be honest, I do not spend very much time at all in the politics section of this site anymore. If the general feeling is that stuff is too slanted one way versus the other and the reaction here is "look at the hypocrisy" that's understandble.

I have *years* worth of posts ... literally hundreds if not thousands of posts ... from 2015 through 2020 calling out the toxicity / absurdity of right wing stuff. I figure I don't need to write novels of posts here to be like "hey also I know I'm criticizing left wing toxicity, but also here is bad right wing stuff!"

I find you to be one of the more fair posters on the board, quite frankly. You've called both sides out and always do it with a level head. We need more of that these days.

This man thankfully was able to walk away, but this behavior was unacceptable too. I don't care what was said, there was no need for the violence.

Especially when it was a God fearing family man who heavily leaned on the Bible. He wasn't perfect by any stretch, but hell is a strong condemnation.
I mean this from both directions. He publicly claimed to be God fearing, sure. But was he really? I don't know that. Neither do you. Neither does his widow or his pastor or anyone else. Only God knows what was in his heart, and only God's grace matters.

I can't argue with that. I can't say I've watched more than 45 minutes of anything Charlie Kirk in my life, but what I've seen has had a strong influence in God and the Bible. That said, what a man has in his heart is only truly known by himself and the Lord.

You do not even understand what he said about the Jim Crow stuff do you? Did you just read that from MSNBC or CNN?

He was talking about how the black family back when Jim Crow laws were in better shape compared to now due to lack of fathers in the home (70%+ grow up in a single father home now). The black family used to have the lowest divorce rates and strongest family ties back in the Jim Crow era. He. also did not say it was BECAUSE of Jim Crow laws, it was simply the era that he was referencing and saying America is less racist than in the Jim Crow, yet many statistics seem to indicate the black family is in a worse position now and he constantly asks his guests who bring up race topics "why is that?"

Utah’s Gov. Spencer Cox warned as he spoke to reporters not to be fooled by the “tremendous amounts of disinformation” as unfounded theories about the identity of the killer run rampant on social media.

Cox went as far as to caution, “What we’re seeing is, our adversaries want violence. We have bots from Russia, China, all over the world, that are trying to instill disinformation and encourage violence. I would encourage you to ignore those, to turn off those streams, and to spend a little more time with our families.”

2 Democratic lawmakers and their dog are gunned down in their homes by a MAGA lunatic. Trump is radio silent. Doesn't attend the funeral, make a statement about the unacceptability of the actions, call their governor, or lower the federal flags.

A MAGA political commentator is killed by a lunatic. Trump is on the phone with the Utah governor within 90 minutes, made a statement on social media, and has already ordered all federal flag be set to half mast.

Any IE MAGA members want to comment on Trumps handling of these two events?

Are we talking about the two Dems that broke ranks to vote against free healthcare for illegal aliens shot by the guy with No Kings flyers in his car?

Even if true - you are talking about a national mouthpiece for a generation versus a couple of shit state state reps. Like whining about some rando KKK underling being killed six months before MLK was assassinated. Public execution and you have to marginalize the event.

Kid had some weird writings on the bullets. oWo bulge or something like that? Anti fascism. And a video game command code.

I hope he doesn't get the dead penalty. Just let him rot.

Murder is murder on both sides and should not be condoned or celebrated.

Major failure for Trump and it just reinforces his demonization and persecution of the “lunatic left” whoever they are so he can rile up his base to now harass, attack and even kill those in opposition to him and his admin.

Despicable…
