    “For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind”.

    • Hosea 8:7

    Why mourn a racist, misogynistic, bigoted facist? We should be celebrating.

    Didn’t he help organize buses to Jan 6? Least I’m pretty sure I read that back then. Not that murder has any excuse of course so I’d never condone it in the least. I do mean that but wondering if his rhetoric had any influence on the action or was a personal issue.

    Flags lowered by Trump’s orders? Well take that as you like. Like he cares about anyone that doesn’t bend the knee. Probably a good excuse for the military to deploy there now for him.

      The argument would have been not to kill Charlie Kirk in the first place, but that ship has sailed, so…

      Whatever’s going to happen as a result, is going to happen whether or not his death is celebrated online.

      That is just so wrong on every level.

      Shit’s already been ignited from the other side, not just with a torch, but with flame throwers.
      You can either give in, and accept that democracy is dying and USA is now a fascist country… or you can resist.
      No fascist ever softened from being unopposed. On the contrary, they will take softness as weakness, and exploit to take more power.

      No fascist regime has ever been overturned by peaceful means.

        Why would we mourn him? We don’t need to. We can decry violence while also pointing out that he’s stoked the internecine strife that led to his murder. If sandy hook isn’t enough, maybe they’ll wake up when they start dying

        True, Nazis and fascists deserve a bullet. Many have forgotten that and consider those ideals a valid political opinion.

        Fascism has no place in a democracy, it will slowly destroy us if no one pushes back.

    Did he really say that’s an acceptable sacrifice for the right to bear arms? Or is that just an urban legend?
    I suspect he never expected to be the sacrifice himself.
