Why would quoting his own words, in context, not allow his widow and young children to grieve? |

It looks like it was chronic drug addiction.
His first rehab was age 15. My guess is he killed his father first, mother was rendering aid to the father and then he killed the mother. |
PP here. We need to change the laws, and I have a very clear idea of what mental illness and a drug addiction looks like from family members and close friends' children. |
Horse hockey. |
+1 very painful for his family |
Name the person with actual political power or shut the eff up. |
This. There are always dumb, thoughtless people of every political persuasion. But you didn't see comments like that from Obama, Biden, Harris, the Clintons, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, etc. Because they understand they have a moral obligation to show respect and kindness for the dead and for those who grieve them. And because obviously no one deserves to be murdered in cold blood under any circumstances. They chose to be adults instead of petty children, even though Kirk had said very critical and even hurtful things about him in his life. |

Rob Reiner on Charlie Kirk's death:
"I don't care what your political beliefs are. That's not acceptable. That's not a solution." "I unfortunately saw the video of it. It's beyond belief what happened to him." "[It] should never happen to anybody." Not a single word of blame, satisfaction, happiness, or vengefulness. Just empathy for Kirk's family and horror at the violence. Rob Reiner was a much better man than the current president of the United States. |
And some of those people got fired for expressing their opinions on social media. I wish that was an option for Trump. |
It is. Go vote. Hold him accountable for this behavior when you decide who your congress people will be, who your senator will be, who the next president will be. Talk about this behavior with people you know and let them know you don't want a president, or anyone in a position of power, who treats people like this. It will take 3 years to make it happen but we can in fact "fire" him and those who support him. Let's do it. It is exactly what Rob Reiner would have wanted, may he rest in peace. |
Oh sweet summer child. |
I also have a mentally ill sibling but without drug addiction. Her rage mostly turned inward and there have been suicide attempts. She burned some valuable old books of my father and can curse a hostile blue streak when she is off her meds. She has a sweet and kind personality otherwise. I would like to think that she would never do something like that but you never know with a diseased mind. |
Thank you |
I'll bet he isn't done. One of his detractors getting tons of media attention, sympathy, and kudos brings out the worse in him. |
