Oops. Making a martyr out of your opponent's hero is never a good move. Somebody did a big boo boo. Charlie Kirk is now a martyr, good luck with that Libby assholes.
If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose.

You are assuming it was a politically motivated murder: it probably was, but what if it wasn't?

For all we know the killer knew him and decided he needed killing for some as yet unknown personal reason.

.

rxwine makes a valid point however: basically it is ironic that a gun control denier gets gunned down.

Whatever, very sad day for America...one of many recently.


A gun did not kill him, an assassin did.

The college was almost certainly a gun-free zone. At least when I was in college guns needed to be checked at the police station upon arrival.

The intolerant don't get to weaponize "tolerance". You don't get to act intolerant, and then demand someone be tolerant towards you.


So,for example, you are saying gay and trans don't get to demand tolerance? Because they are some of the most intolerant people out there.

Kirk engaged with people who disagreed with him all the time. He based his whole appearances on it. That is tolerance.

Disagreeing is not "intolerance."

If a person can literally kill an unborn baby, then they can pretty much do anything evil:


If you show a death-cult member that it's wrong to kill innocent folks, it can become offensive.

Because their entire life is based upon death, destruction, and having a black conscience.


Death doesn't bother them.

These folks don't seem to understand what life is and certainly don't value life.


Watch what they write.






In contrast, this is what a person with a white conscience would write:

"The most important thing is my faith in my life.”




---------------

Question: “How would you wanna be remembered?”

Charlie: “I wanna be remembered for courage for my faith. That that would be the most important thing. The most important thing is my faith in my life.”

-------------




Sensing [discerning] someone's conscience is a gift:

Rights can be taken away but a gift can't be taken away.

Did you go to college in Utah in 2025?

I again call your attention to Utah law that allows anyone 18 or old to carry firearms on college campuses with a Utah permit.

You mean ones that are intolerant with all straight or non-trans people, or just straight or non-trans that openly oppose them as gay or trans?

Kirk often described LGBTQ+ efforts as a campaign to "corrupt your children".

Not tolerant. Just saying things in calm pleasant voice doesn't make what someone says tolerant.

In the news...

"Kirk was speaking at a debate hosted by his nonprofit political youth organization, Arizona-based Turning Point USA, at the Sorensen Center courtyard on campus. Immediately before the shooting, he took questions from an audience member about gun violence.
“Do you know how many transgender Americans have been mass shooters over the last 10 years?” the person asked. Kirk responded, “Too many.”
The questioner followed up: “Do you know how many mass shooters there have been in America over the last 10 years?”
“Counting or not counting gang violence?” Kirk asked.
Then a shot rang out."

Madison Cawthorn's bid to return to Congress got off to a dramatic and embarrassing start on Wednesday, when the former North Carolina lawmaker was arrested in Florida for failing to appear in court over a traffic citation.

The 28-year-old Republican firebrand, now living in Cape Coral, was taken into custody at his home early on Wednesday morning by Lee County deputies after missing an 8:30am court hearing in Collier County.

The hearing stemmed from an August 19 traffic stop in Naples, where Cawthorn was cited for driving without a valid license.

According to the Collier County Clerk of Courts, an out-of-county warrant was issued that morning when Cawthorn failed to show.

He was booked and released on a $2,000 bond within hours.

Think the Dems are far enough left yet?


Eventually, at this rate, 97% of all blues will be reds before long.

What type of person will be one of the 3%?


Anyone here wake-up yet?

Come-in Hewston.

I can't hear you, you're breaking up, copy?
