Hundreds of leftists laughing about and cheering his murder on TikTok and X. What vile scum. The right wing pushback is going to be something they can't even comprehend.
My girlfriend and I were unfortunately at the event. I disagree with Kirk on a lot, but I have always and will always say I respect him massively for being a champion for free speech, and being a political figure that genuinely believes they are trying to make the world a better place which can’t be said for most.
I’m genuinely heartbroken that this happened today. Kirk didn’t deserve death, and I witnessed in person the level to which this traumatized people. People were having mental breakdowns in a way I have never witnessed in person, and by people I mean a lot of people. My girlfriend has been through a lot this past year including the death of her father, and I’m doing everything I can to show her the world isn’t the cruel terrible place her brain is convincing herself that it is, and she has to witness this today. I’m personally not going to be able to sleep tonight and who knows when that’s gonna change. I went home and saw people I’ve known since childhood cheering that this happened online.
We need to stop killing each other. We need to stop this collective attitude that the other side is this great evil that needs to be stopped. This is terrible.
I saw the live video by accident and I can't unsee it, it is horrifying. I truly hope you and your g/f are ok, a lot of people have PTSD from these kinds of things :(

This is very revealing and shows who they are. People with zero morals.
Wouldn't surprise me one bit if this was Mossad. Israel is just going around violating territorial sovereignty these days and probably wants to distract us.
Trump blamed the "radical left" on the assassination – when there wasn't even a suspect identified yet. You want to know why our country is so divided? HE DIVIDES US.
I do think between this and the poor Ukrainian women that we're going to see a shift in the Right.
I’m not sure what a "shift to the right" even means anymore. It seems like almost everything leads to this shift, and there doesn’t seem to be any limit to how far to the right people will go.
When Democrats move too far to the left, it drives voters to the Republican side. Conversely, if Democrats move too far to the right, it validates the Republican perspective and encourages people to vote that way instead.
What events would lead people shifting to the left? Degrading living standards? Troops on the streets? Racial slurs becoming mainstream again? Even this shooting will not move a single person's belief about gun ownership to the left. What would it take to change a pro-2A belief?
”Refusing to run to abstraction isn’t abdicating your moral or democratic responsibilities. It is recognizing that any of the changes you want to see in our political or legal systems are built on a simple truth that is crumbling right now: You are my neighbor. That’s how we live with each other. By refusing to be drawn into this hypnotic game where every event becomes a contest for political supremacy.
The only way to win is to stay grounded in truths we can all agree on:
A man was murdered. That is horrible. A man was murdered. I hope the police catch the killer. A man was murdered. I wish things like this didn’t happen here. A man was murdered. I’ll pray for his family.”

You think someone went back in time to plant Trump's signature on a birthday card to a pedophile so it could appear as evidence against him 20 years later.
If you are traumatized in any way by the two videos that you saw of people being murdered and the gore and distress associated with it, just think what it does to toddlers, teens and preteens that have had to witness it in person!
School shootings and other mass shootings should be receiving the same attention as this Kirk killing. Instead, we are told to just move on. And that it is a necessary part of our need to have guns for all.

Valid point, I think PTSD counseling will be on the rise.
If the shooter turns out to be a white supremacist ex-military prepper who wanted to start a civil war or thought Kirk didn’t go far enough down the race war rabbit hole, will any repubs care that they had it all so wrong?
not bloody likely.
200 yard shot, clean escape….sounds military to me. Not some campus lefty.

We have a true “school shooting” once every 4-5 years. A gang shooting, let alone a 2am drive by, at an inner city hellhole school isn’t a true one.
