Charlie Kirk shot dead at Utah university

Being murdered for your opinions isn't a good thing. That said there are plenty of opinions such as telling people to kill others that aren't good.

Of course we don’t know yet, but generally when things like this happen people are suspected. Logically you’d think it’s a conservative speaking event and the person who’s been assassinated is the main speaker. Therefore it could be politically motivated. I don’t think it’s crazy to think that person could be on the left.

I remember the desperate search for an Islamic terrorist who crashed into Liverpool fans at their parade. When it was a white ex-marine, it went very quiet, apart from a load of PTSD claims from people who'd never met the guy.
Logical thinking can be both horribly wrong and terribly divisive at times like this.

Tell the US Gov and media that.

Only up until very recently the media has ignored any deaths surrounding opinion around Israel.

And, let me be fair to Kirk, he'd not long been questioning his position on Israel in the last 4-6 weeks. A little late in the day, but enough for Zionists beginning to call him an 'antisemite' and he predicting his own assassination.

This is stuff I'm finding out as we speak.

The BBC News just interviewed a few people about this and one women said “you don’t expect this in America, the country where freedom was founded”

lol

The arguments that the pro gun lobby put forward is that guns are needed for self defence.
Yet, every time there is a mass shooting, the gunman is never shot dead before he murders multiple times.
Usually he kills himself at the scene or drives off and commits suicide later. Occasionally the cops show up and after 3 of theirs have been killed they manage to shoot him dead
Where are all these people who carry guns ? Why do they never shoot him before multiple fatalities?

Utah has concealed carry allowed on campuses as well. Colour me amazed no one picked the shooter off first.

I would doubt someone with that level of 'skill' for lack of a better word with a gun would both be that young and just dump their weapon in the woods

I don't think you're supposed to aim for the jugular vein tbh, that would be ridiculous. It's actually the sign of a poor marksman.

Obviously unless those views don't coincide with your own by some people.

I think they'd counter that argument with a pretty conclusive rebuttal in fairness

This piece of shit wanted executions to be done in public and televised. he got what he wanted.

Good fucking riddance.

Two presidential assassination attempts and a conservative figure being murdered in public. Don’t agree with someone’s view and get murdered for it apparently

Great point. Please carry on quoting him in relation to someone being killed by gun violence. You could just disagree with all gun violence instead perhaps and apply it to all - left and right

Or keep quoting to justify it.

People here keep on "quoting" him out of context , but a tiny bit of research, actually listening to what HE said, not out of context bollocks, would show anyone that whether you agreed with him or not (and I didn't on many matters), he was a decent human being trying his best to fight for what he believed in (rightfully or not). People here dehumanise him to "justify" his murder, but that's just despicable. I wouldn't wish death to anyone, let alone some lad who never harmed anybody. He had some bad takes(some good ones too btw.), and? He deserved to die for it?! I see we have a lot of gun violence fans on here.

We dont know the motives for any of these events yet. Or numerous acts of violence across all ends of the political spectrum.

It may be as simple as disagreeing with their view, there may be mental health reasons, it maybe something none of us have thought about.

Best not to guess.

Shows just how big America is influencing our politics nowadays.

You are absolutely fuckin deluded and seem to be buried balls deep in the cult.

'He was a decent Human being"

Just wow.

Looks like Joey Barton...

Ironic

Dr Martin Luther King Jr., Pres John F Kennedy and Bobby Kennedy can all testify to this.

It isn't, but one of his opinions was that it was worth having a few shooting deaths every year if it meant they could continue their "god-given" right to own guns.
