DCUM regulars are not politicians. But, yes, Newsom has more decency and compassion than Trump, too.

At least Trump's consistent. He's done what he can.

“We must all pray for Charlie Kirk, who has been shot,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

“A great guy from top to bottom. GOD BLESS HIM!” the president continued.

For those on DCUM and in social media blaming "the left" for the shooting, let me quote Charlie Kirk himself referring to the attack on Paul Pelosi:

"They’re saying it’s our fault, that we caused this? Give me a break. This is not about our rhetoric. This is about a deranged individual, and we need to know the full story."

Where was the National Guard? Why weren’t they in Utah to stop this violence?

I am seeing nothing but outrage and positive thoughts from democratic leaders from various governors, congressmen and people like Pete Buttigeig.

I have yet to see anyone on the left "celebrating"

I have yet to see anything other than outrage at political violence and prayers for Kirk, on Blueskye/the left. I am curious as that what posts you are seeing that are causing problems for you.

Chris Kluwe reposted the “me sowing/me reaping” meme. Also lots of people posting that clip where he says “unfortunately we are going to have some gun deaths.”

As I said in my follow up, tasteless but not justifying it and most posts are rightly condemning.

I am not seeing the problem with posting Kirk's own quotes.

Because all gun violence should be condemned. Mentioning that quote the context of a convo or an article about him would be fine but simply posting that (and only that) moments after he’s been shot is different and if you can’t see that I don’t know what to tell you.

It’s the type of reaction Trump would have if someone he was opposed to was shot, tbh. Personally, I don’t want to be anything like Trump but maybe you don’t mind it.

There is no way he can live from that gun shot, that was a massive hole to his neck.

You don’t know that this is false.

Basically, in the United States of America, you can be shot absolutely anywhere at any time.

If you are some sort of political figure, your likelihood of being shot is even higher.

Charlie Kirk was ok with this. I am not, but it seems absurd to give him sympathy when he is one of the architects of the current order that put himself in danger. I don’t want him to be shot- I don’t want anyone to be shot. But it’s important that political figures are not insulated from the reality that the rest of us all live with.

Unlike many, he will debate anyone on any topic. He is known for debate and free speech.

This is sickening.

Somebody on CNN said he was stable and breathing.

This should be a sticky at the top of ever page of this thread.

Bumping this.

Pray for healing and a miracle. Getting word that #charliekirk has been stabilized. I pray it is true. If it is THAT IS A SECOND MIRACLE. 1. Trump. 2. Kirk. The hospital is taking blood now. Our God is a God of Miracles. In Jesus name.
