I would remind people that to date, there is zero information about the shooter, their affiliations or their motivations, and yet, the right has singularly decided it is time for open warfare on the left, the blue cities and blue states.

This is what maga lives for. All they want to do is kill “liberals” and people in blue states. Remember what ever maga does they are heroes.

I mean, this thread is about a conservative pundit who was just assassinated for visiting college campuses and respectfully engaging with people who had different opinions than him.

I think your post missed the mark a bit.

No the reason for worry is real. Look at what the RWNJs are saying. This thread started about a horrible murder. It's evolving into the RWs equally horrible attempts to use this murder to stoke further violence against other innocent people. Wake up.

Can you give some examples of RwNJs threatening murder on this thread?

All I’m reading is snarky comments from LWNJs who seem ready to start a civil war at any moment.

Go online. You can easily find what your brothers are saying. The vast majority of people have never heard of Charlie Kirk before today. Seriously he would only show up on your TikTok feed if you are far down the right wing rabbit hole. This is how the internet works. The “LWNJs” only exist in your mind.

Maybe Trump should have banned TikTok after all?

Just bc you hadn’t heard of Charlie before today doesn’t mean the same of the “vast majority”.

The man was all over the place. You saw the crowd from today. He’s been everywhere. A lot of people loved him and a lot of people hated him. Unfortunately the hate prevailed.

I really don't think the vast majority knows much of who this person is. Yes millions do. But many millions do not. I think most people are going to get a lot of their knowledge about who this person is from the coverage happening since he was shot.

I agree. A lot of people are not online enough to know who CK is. They have lives. 😂

So you know a left wing person killed Kirk? Why would they do that? All the moderate and left of center people I know would never listen to Charlie Kirk. Very few people outside of maga know who he is. I find it hard to believe any true leftist would listen to him. There is not left wing media ecosystem demonizing Kirk like the right’s ecosystem.

Tell me how Charlie Kirk is monetized by left wing groups like AOC is by you people? When I watched South Park I had to go online to figure out who they were making fun of. I found out it was Charlie Kirk and did not know who he was.

I am sorry but we should have the flag at half mast for all the school shooting victims as well.

Why only Charlie Kirk? I did not know who he was but his life is not more valuable than school kids.

And yet here you are at midnight posting.

I am a fan of his and I’ve felt truly sick since I got the first alert on my phone about it. I can’t even sleep now bc I feel so sad and upset that we haven’t caught his murderer.

This thread has provided a little bit of an outlet for me but it’s also been very depressing to read.

I should have guessed the people I’ve been arguing with on this thread didn’t even know anything about him. Just that he was a conservative- which I guess is enough to condemn him and say things like “thoughts and prayers” or “karma” or “how ironic”.

I’m done. Too many people here have lost their humanity.

This country lost its humanity the day a classroom full of first graders were killed and we did nothing. Nothing but excuses and hollow thoughts and prayers.

Agreed. It was hands down one of my least proud moments as an American. The last election was another and it isn’t getting better sadly.

Agreed. It’s sad when anyone loses their life (especially in an act of wanton violence), but why should anyone give any more f^cks about his death than the 2A fanatics gave after Sandy Hook and the countless mass shootings that have plagued America before and since (i.e., none - absolutely zero f^cks)?

I have no desire to see it and it feels disrespectful to his family. People should not be watching that over and over.

The problem is this was a public event so it was being filmed. Presumably the shooter knew this would be caught on tape from many phones and angles.

People might not get how big Charlie Kirk really was before his death. He had almost 23 million followers across TikTok, Instagram, Twitter/X, and YouTube, which is about 6 to 7 percent of the U.S. population right now. That is the kind of reach you only see with the biggest voices of a generation. For comparison, MLK had around 10 million active supporters through churches and marches back in 1968, about 5 percent of the population then.

Kirk knew how to use the tools of his time the same way MLK did. King worked through TV and newspapers, Kirk worked through TikTok, podcasts, and social media. Both relied on words, not violence. King pushed peaceful protest, Kirk pushed debate and activism. Up until his death today, Kirk was the face of conservative youth in America, shaping the conversation for millions. You may not know his impact, but it is strong, and many are already equating him to MLK for the conservative movement because of the reach, the speeches, and the nonviolent approach.

Watching the video it seemed like a very experienced marksman made that shot. This was no teen amateur.

+1. Charlie Kirk built a 100 million dollar a year non-profit. He was highly successful and well known in the conservative space. Many believe he helped secure the young vote for DJT in 2024.

Seriously? Charlie Kirk's assasination is what got you here? He's not even a politician, just a talking head.

Someone killed him because they didn’t like the things he said. Someone with opposing views felt justified in assassinating him. That is dangerous for all of us.

That's the obvious conclusion.
Or someone killed him to start the kind of mutual recriminations we are seeing.
