Yup

I think these people making light of this attempted murder are mostly trolls trying to make liberals look bad.

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.

Yup. Also, the shooter was apparently 200 yards away. Bananas.

The university spokeswoman, Ellen Treanor, said that Mr. Kirk was struck about 20 minutes after he began speaking on campus. She said a suspect had fired at Mr. Kirk from the Losee Center, a building about 200 yards away, and been taken into custody. The suspect was not a student, she said.

I am no fan of his (or Trump, or MAGA, or anything related) *at all*, but this is horrifying. This is not the answer, it is never the answer.

Thank you for posting. The number of people cheering this on is disturbing.

Most people are offering thoughts and prayers. That's obviously all that can be done about gun violence.

I inadvertently saw a close-up video of the event. It’s shocking. It shoots him on the left side and it looks like an artery. It was shocking to watch. I won’t link it. The man who shot him appeared to be an older white man looks kind of like Larry David just to give you an idea.

Fascism is here. We can fight it or not. The idea that we should meet the violence of fascism with non-violence is nonsensical.

This is what Malcolm X said to MLK

Malcolm X had a policy of self defense, that is not what happened here.
