but that's not what you said at first. I agree with what you're saying right here FWIW, but that's just me.

I get what your saying but I just don't think you would be here posting so emotionally had it been a left winger who was shot.

This has rocked me. I'm going to be honest.
When it happens to a president or someone of high importance it is still shocking, but never feels that impossible because across the world it does happen from time to time.
This just feels like a new low has been reached, and I think it might be a catalyst for something very dark. Some of the screenshots I have seen with reactions on social media celebrating it are also extremely sickening. I've had to turn it all off.
I don't understand how someone could take a father away from their young children for simply having a different opinion. It's an absolutely devastating state of affairs.

Has the social media reaction to folk celebrating migrants drowning in the channel had the same effect?

What on earth are you talking about?
A horrible thing to say, and completely unnecessary as well.
@covcity4life dissapointed in you liking this too. Have some fucking respect.

WHO pulled the trigger?
Trump vows crackdown on 'political violence'published at 02:28
Here's more from Trump's video statement. He said his administration would "find each and every one of those who contributed to this atrocity and to other political violence".
Trump said "radical left political violence has hurt too many innocent people". He cited the assassination attempt against him and the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson last year.
Trump has stirred controversy for regularly blaming the "radical left" for the country's deepening political divisions - with critics arguing that his rhetoric has incited violence against his political opponents.

People are surely just looking at the possible reasons as to why he has been murdered and why he was targeted. No-one is trying to justify it.

It was the same for me after the Jo Cox murder. I thought it would make people realise it’d gone too far but if anything it’s got a loss worse over the last decade.

That's pretty outrageous from Trump, that.
Weren't 4 Democrats shot in Minnesota and one murdered recently?
He should just be saying "political violence"
It happens on both sides of the spectrum.

That one really shook me, the Jo Cox murder.
RIP to Charlie Kirk, but I honestly didn't really know who he even was.
Heard the name, but had to look him up on Google last night.

If I’d seen that video of the actual shooting, and the video of him just a few minutes before going onstage with his daughter, I think I would.

When Jo Cox was murdered I don’t recall anyone immediately finding screenshots of her tweeting her strong remainer beliefs, and using that to call her a polarising figure.
People were just angry and sad that someone had been murdered for their beliefs
Otis
Well-Known Member
Strong remainer beliefs? I don't know much at all about Charlie Kirk, but he said gun deaths were worth it.
He was a very outspoken person apparently.
I think people were just looking for the reasoning behind it, which is quite natural, when it's a very polarising figure

still looking for online fights? you really are a bit of a c**t aren't you

Yes, strong remainer beliefs
Some people found her very polarising. She was very outspoken

To be fair to them they were basically saying it happens on both sides of the political spectrum.

She was no more outspoken than a lot of other people at the time and less so than some.

He's shit posting, he's upset because someone said Kirk was "polarising" and has been trying to police the way people feel.

I hadn’t heard of him before last night but there are definitely others who I’m sure are more deserving of scrutiny at this point.

Anyway, this could run and run, but the bottom line is that no-one has been disrespectful on this thread and no-one has said they are not sad at the death. I think it has been a very calm.and reasoned reaction .
We should move on. But pretty certain we won't, unfortunately.

Until they actually pass gun laws, rather than going on about it being a God-given right, the school shootings and assassinations will continue there.Anyway, this could run and run, but the bottom line is that no-one has been disrespectful on this thread and no-one has said they are not sad at the death. I think it has been a very calm.and reasoned reaction .

But there is nothing more to say at this stage other than both sides in the US need to tone things down.

Is exactly the same.
The only difference is Jo Cox had opinions you personally agree with, and Charlie Kirk didn’t
