Breaking away from the political shooting, we now go over to the ongoing school shooting in evergreen high school Colorado except the news doesn’t because kids getting shot isn’t news anymore

Nut cases gotta nutcase. Legal profession always wins.

Regardless of what you thought of Kirk and his opinions in the public light, he was a father of two young children who are going to grow up and eventually, will no doubt be exposed to the video of their dad being shot in the neck. Absolutely horrific.

Sad that he and his friends haven't thought about other people's kids in the past.

I don’t know enough on the subject to comment (and that’s why I stay well clear of all the political threads on here!). Just hate to see young kids have to grow up without a parent/s, is all.

Can you give some examples?

"I think it's worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights.” - Charlie Kirk

That’s very vague

He’s not wrong tbf. Though it will be devastating for Kirk’s children, which is very sad.

Yep bad enough losing a parent, even worst that it’s visible in the media even worst some people will make out that he somehow asked for it for having a controversial opinion.

He didn't just have an opinion, he founded one of the most powerful conservative thinktanks in the US.

He wasn't just a bigot from YouTube, he was a bigot who wielded very real political power.

 

[sycophantia]

Must admit I'm behind the curve here, had to Google Charlie Kirk. It's just the nature of extreme politics I'm afraid. The world is a very sad and dangerous place atm.

Irregardless of where you stand on the political spectrum. Mr Kirk was 31 years old & had 2 young children as well as a wife. They were in attendance yesterday when the incident took place.

 

[EpsomWolf]

Thinking and speaking differently or in a way that won’t pls a lot of people will always put you close to danger.
Difference in opinion should be viewed objectively.

Not sure we will ever get back to that. One person’s opinion is another person’s hate speech and we’re seeing the results of that.

You’ve only got to look yourself on here at the barely contained joy he’s been killed.

It wasn't an incident though, it was murder. Just as it's murder when every time someone is shot and killed.

Rumours are the shooter was 200 meters or so away, so I'd imagine it was someone who knew what they were doing

It's not joy it's not giving a fuck. Where was the outrage when Minnasota representatives were assinated ealeier this year. What about the kids who were shot almost at the same time in the next state he, in his own words, were the necessary cost of his gun rights.

Meh

Hmm, I dunno, I sense there’s very real joy, or at the least he had it coming, but unless it’s covert it’s just an interpretation I guess.

Intolerance of other views and the increasing default setting of ambivalence and whataboutery from all sides to all events is what troubles me most.

It does feel like we are living in a tinderbox at the moment.

 

[YoungWolf]

Why on earth should I be tolerant of his abhorrent views?

I actually think it’s the other way round. In the last 20 years these type of people have been emboldened to air these views and have made livings off of it.
