Trump started this war. Liberals aren't bending at the knee. Start treating liberals w respect and the retributions will stop. Otherwise...

Not me though. Not participating. I already served my country. 

Obama and Biden created this war.  America died the day Obama chose BLM over the murdered cops in Dallas.   We have Trump because of Obama.  It’s Obama’s legacy

I see plenty of videos on tik tok and twitter.  Weird they aren’t “preferred” left social media vehicles making fun of the fact he is dead.  Pretty sick imo 

No you don’t.  You see conservatives sharing them.

I’m not participating either.  I won’t need to.

This guy definitely has military training. To take somebody out at 200 yards with a shot to such a small target, no civi did this. Possibly a former Marine? That's my guess.

I started another thread with 3,000 x posts of liberals celebrating his death.  Literally celebrating.   I suspect you are not one of the tweets but I suspect you won’t denounce them either

Do you think the guy who shot him should go to jail? Charlie didn't think the guy who violently assaulted Paul Pelosi should and encouraged his followers to post his bail.

Paul Pelosi was killed?

A young man with a wife and children was murdered today. That is terrible. His occupation was political.

His occupation included much political speak that purposely divided R's and L's - roughly half the country each. That type of effort is not welcomed by many that would like to see the country united as one. (And also by the 'L' half that this young man was not part of.) But it was welcomed by the 'R' half. Such is politics.

Meanwhile, some 1,500+ other people died today in the US. Each and every one with a long and interesting story that has depth and meaning. Each with families and loved ones.

There is no priority for loss of life. All life that is lost is without further potential forever.

If you believe this young man to be something special, mourn as you will. If you don't - then you have no obligation to mourn. Just as the other 1,500+ souls who passed today.

Tomorrow - this will repeat. That is the circle of life. Unless you're a child, you should know this by now.

An hour to go before it repeats again. And we all move on...

Thoughts and prayers. Those go a long way, right?

This escalation will only continue. The Heritage Foundation under the guise of the Tea Party brought this to smashmouth forefront positioning under a perfect storm of circumstances and they pounced. We will all lose.

 

WE. WILL. ALL. LOSE.

Hey just checking in if your community has ever had to deal with a school shooting?

I did. I missed your comment earlier because I was preoccupied.

My central Illinois elementary school had one. Would you still stand with Charlie if you saw a 6 year old girl's body carried out with blood all over the carrier and she has no pulse while her mother is screaming in agony and her father is racing to the parking lot windows down shouting, praying, hoping his worst fear didn't come true?

This is a binary yes or no question.

There is such a thing called nuance in situations like this. Yea it sucks someone died but the same person also said gun deaths are worth it for 2A rights right after a school shooting, and went to places to debate people much younger than him and say inflammatory things. In this country you have the right to free speech but not freedom of consequences from said speech. Also crazy that he was being asked about mass shootings before he was shot

The "debate people much younger than him" issue is relevant. 

Generally speaking, a college campus is a place where a multitude of ideas and perspectives are encouraged and exchanged. A place for young adults to question everything and anything.

A high school, on the other hand, is a completely different place. HS children are not young adults.

30-somethings visiting high schools to push a political agenda on children should never be approved.

How dare I be indifferent over somebody being killed. 

[Tripnsweep]

I just was reading something about this, because it's going to dominate news for the next few days, and the author made a point. We don't know why this happened. What if he was killed for some extremely trivial reason? Like he cut somebody off in traffic or something else that pissed off some random psycho who got fed up enough? 

When Frank Cali got shot and killed outside of his house a few years ago, everyone was sure it was the beginning of a Mafia war and that was why he got killed. Except it turned out to be some crazy QAnon believer who thought Cali was part of the deep state and had to die. It made absolutely no sense. 

So before we jump to conclusions about who killed who, just consider that this could have been somebody who didn't care about politics and thought Kirk was a lizard person who had to go.

The best use of a leftist is to share their views and agenda. People are rejecting those views and agenda and it's guys like Charlie drawing attention to who they are in their own words that infuriates them. Let Trip be and let him show who he is and what he's all about.

Appreciate your honesty that you believe that dead children are worth it.
