Today has been clarifying. Watching people celebrate or "oh well!" the murder of Charlie Kirk has provided clarity on who and what they are.

Appeals to reason are in vain. Pointing out that whether you liked what he had to say or not that he committed entirely to *debate* and speech to hammer out differences like civilized people are supposed to do only to be met with "LOL" from people who are not even remotely trying to hide their mirth that someone murdered him...

I have said here before that I'm on bended knee begging people not to pull the pin because they don't want to live in the world they would create in their arrogance. The pin moved today.

A lot.

Look at DNC leaders. Obama is out there saying this is awful and unacceptable. But Blue Sky and Reddit are laughing about it.

Obama, as corrupt and awful as he is, understands what's on the line here.

Reddit, unsurprisingly, doesn't.

There's no two sides on this one. There's only right and wrong. If someone is so high on their own supply that they can't grasp how much more dangerous the future became for everyone because of today then they quite literally are the problem.

Mark it.

So sad, he was quite obviously trying his best to move the social needle towards civility and unity while pursuing the truth. I shouldn't have watched the videos and it made it worse, I've been sick to my stomach all afternoon. No amount of 'justice' is going to bring him back or raise his kids.

Not sad. Infuriating.

Let Kirk's family be sad. Let the rest of us burn with anger at his murder.

While I agree with you in principle, the problem with anger is that it leads to violence, and I REALLY don't want this country to have a second civil war. There are SO many people out there who will smirk and 'fuck him' and 'good!' that they can't possibly all be dealt with. The Donald might have won the election but there were monumental numbers of folks on the other side of the street.

I do. I want a second civil war. Because nothing else will stop these people. They are entitled to kill whoever they want because they know they won't be punished and they'll be celebrated.

Time to end that.

Time for violence TOO BEGET VIOLENCE.

Because that is the only lesson that people will remember.

That is the only action that has EVER brought peace.

Worse were the responses about the poor girl. Kirk was a somebody. A small somebody but still. She was a nobody. They opened a Go Fund me for Brown until it was closed. 'She deserved it for slavery or Daniel Penny or the magic word, etc.' It was everywhere. There is no reconciliation for this.

Amen.

We have moved from right and wrong which is horrible. The victims death is horrible and the cowards on the train are part of the problem. Looked away rather than helping. Even if you don’t actively intervene rendering aid is still honorable. Yet nothing. Having been to and ridden the trains on the Queen City I can assure you only if I didn’t think I could stop him.

Having real discourse is what I love about this group. Want to and would love to have this do this dialogue in person but the sickness and resulting death of a loved one kept me from First Principles.

Don’t know Charlie, never watched him, but want people to speak their mind. The fact that Obama said that is redeeming in some respect and means he gets it, but anyone associated with the working end and part of the only two political parties I have issues with. All in it for keeping power. Once they go, the US moves forward.

No way we will have single item bills, term limit so no one is in power too long, the ban on PAC money and individual donation are the only way to go. A corporation can only give as much as an individual and all donations to anyone are logged and public.

So many issues.

Great watch review, but so many issues

Charlie Kirk, requiescat in pace. There is a good chance that this horrific event will actually become a Turning Point (ugh), and much depends on whether the administration will finally assume sweeping powers to go after the antifa terrorists and their many enablers. (Which is what it was elected for.) But the pessimist in me says it will blow over as quickly as the assassination attempt on Trump himself.

This Decarlos Brown character is a mad dog, and we should put down mad dogs. Doesn't matter if he was insane, or for some other reason couldn't understand the consequences of his behavior. He's a danger to society and should've been welded into a cage or shot dead years ago.

And I'll just say what we're all thinking: The fact that he was named Decarlos instead of Gary or Mike or Joe should've been a giant goddamned red flag he was gonna hurt SOMEBODY at some point.

It is righteous to hate both Brown *and* his enablers. The judge that kept him free happened to have part ownership in whatever rehab facility he was entrusted to.

Bystanders eventually attempted to render aid. It was too late and likely fruitless from the hit she took.

Also, Cobb and Cook are sorority sisters.

Kirk was as normie right as they come. From here there be dragons.

FWIW, I've followed Kirk and TP for a while, and it's not like he was participating in the Munk Debates. While he wasn't exactly Eric Cartman, his campus performances were more that than not.

That said, this is a horrific act and crime, and bodes badly for everyone, regardless of political stripe.

As for Lisa Cook, I'd be 100% on board with her removal... if the Administration actually bothered to hold its own people to the same standard. When the Cook news broke, it became a pretty open secret in DC and NY which senior people in the Administration are guilty of the same exact thing.

"just died from a shot to the neck during a campus speech"

wasnt a huge fan of the guy or some of what he belived in but getting shot in the neck is going to boil the water pretty damn quick. or maybe nothing will ever happen about it

"She came from Ukraine to find safety, but in reality Vladimir Putin couldn’t have killed her as surely and heartlessly as Decarlos Brown did"

wrong guy got shot in the neck today. i dont care that he was failed by multiple elements but the fact remains that hes a danger to everyone around him and should never have been anywhere outside of a cell. im sick of things of this nature happening and nothing being done or even attempted. these are the people that need to be removed from society by being put in a cell or in the ground.

New theory, continuing with this:

As a liberal pundit, you are at essentially zero risk of targeted harm.

As a conservative pundit, you are at risk of harm in direct proportion to -- not how extreme you are -- but how well-known and effective you are. Charlie Kirk will get shot well before any actual "neo-Nazi", and the reason for that is because the media will more openly fantasize about harm coming to Charlie Kirk.

Charlie Kirk was not dangerous because he said mean things. That was just how his opponents justified their hate.
