Most of the left was celebrating the murder over the past few days. This isn't a both sides problem, not even close. We have a problem where one side does not value life and the other side does. If you are celebrating anyone's murder because they have different opinions than you then you have a broken moral compass.
Imagine AOC gets a heart attack today, you think the maga generals (new word I learned in the last couple days) will send in flowers and a best wishes card?
You don't see a difference between a heart attack and being shot by political oppnents?You are dumber than a rock.

? Your thinking is highly distorted. You begin with grains of truth and try to extrapolate way more than the facts can support.
I agree entirely with the view that celebrating anyone’s murder is reprehensible.
And there’s very strongly no “one side does not value life and the other does.”
It doesn’t matter how many leftists you can find on TikTok celebrating this: they’re still the small minority. So it’s not “one side” failing to value life.
But anyway, I still wasn’t making a simplistic “both sides” comment there. I was indicating the hypocrisy of someone claiming other people are clearly not “peace-loving” because of things they say online when he himself has a history of saying things online that look like sowing hate and division or having an unsavory interest in acts of violence.
(note: I’m saying hypocrisy; I’m not saying that the targets of that guy’s criticism are above reproach).
You think someone on the left would scratch, "if you read this, you are gay LMAO" onto a bullet casing?
Really? What evidence supports that craziness?
And him writing about "fascism" on the bullet casing makes him sound like a Trumper?
Him writing about fascism should fit into the movement of the 2nd Amendment crowd, that the necessity for arms to rise up and prevent government tyranny.
But if, by chance, he is a groyper, all of that pales compared to their out and out hatred of Charlie Kirk, who they see as a "fake Conservative."
I don't know of any organized, anti-Kirk, gun-toting group on the left that showed up to Kirk's events to torment him. There is one on the right. The Groypers.
Their charges range from an unwanted touch from behind to aggressive, sudden kissing to fingers groping up their skirt and into their underwear. Donald Trump and his campaign insist all of the stories are fabricated and polit...
Evidence: “Hey, fascist! Catch," "If you read this, you are gay, lmao," and "Oh, Bella Ciao, Bella Ciao, Bella Ciao,"
"If you read this, you are gay, lmao." Wow, that's really compelling evidence. And you left out one of the inscriptions: "Notices bulges, OWO what's this." A reference to... furry culture.
You're right, this sounds like someone with a really well-defined set of political views. Definitely not mentally unwell. Just your typical gun-loving, Trump-campaign-donating liberal. Case closed!
Like I said, you come across as desperate to make this guy fit into a neat little box to score political points. He is alive and presumably will elaborate on what his nonsensical political views/motives are. So why don't you give your imagination a rest until all the facts come out?
So you are still gonna go on on about bill clinton's faults while the current two term president and your hero donald trump has him beat on every level??? Wow.
Let me guess next, you're gonna bring up how bill clinton was associated with jeffrey epstein?! 🙄
According to mr.Epstein, Epstein was Trump's "best friend for ten years".
As someone who is smarter than all of you, why does it matter to you what the shooter’s politics were? They are what they are. We leftists are not afraid of the truth. If he is one of us, so what?
We want to understand your mindset so we can possibly prevent the next time you left-wing whackos decide to take out an innocent conservative.

Wrong. Just take a look at a poll from april: "The Network Contagion Research Institute, along with Rutgers University, found that 55% of self-identified left-of-center respondents said that it was at least somewhat justified to murder President Trump. Forty-eight percent said the same of Elon Musk."
This is not a fringe belief like you say, it is main stream on the left.
You would never have close to these numbers on the right. This is not a both sides problem. The left is evil and in my experience only the older boomers don't understand this.
I know plenty of normal, honorable, peace-loving Republicans and Democrats. To a person, when they look on at bloodshed like this, they are horrified.
When people online raise the specter of possible civil war, they denounce such talk as dangerous and think how awful it would be for any such violence to occur.
When they face talk of civil war, I’ve never heard one of them discuss their potential participation. I’ve certainly never heard them specify categories of whom they plan to kill. And they definitely don’t spell out detailed scenarios about how they’ll carry out the killing.
How about you?

This is actually pretty funny. When the Minnesota state senators got wacked... Trumpers were at best... cavalier about it. They didn't give a rat's patoot about the victims. All they were worried about was trying to convince themselves and the rest of MAGA that the Trump supporting wacko was actually a liberal.
And the Paul Palosi thing? Where he got his skull bashed. He was fodder for jokes and conservatives lapped it up... including the Trumps themselves.
Charlie Kirk isn't the first controversial pundit to get killed... and he won't be the last. This goes at least back to Alan Berg... which was in the 1970s.
As this is a running website, I looked at his Athlinks profile. There are several with his name who have very pedestrian 5k times in the state of Utah. So he could very well be a poster on this forum.

Okay smart pants. You are saying the maga will celebrate AOC’s heart attack, but it’s different than democrats being happy to see how the Kirk assassination plays out. Why do you call yourself ex boy? Are you a now girl?
Why do we have to put up with the biggest g-damn jerks on a forum being the ones that post the most? This ruins it for everyone.
Adolt is just the same.
Key take away - everything they post is done with the intent of angering the other side.
It has grown old.
Someone suggested banning Adolt, and it is high time.
They take over a discussion, and for the worse.
I am stepping away from the site since it has growns so unsatisfying.
Leaving this site isn't a bad idea
However- when it comes to Adolt or GBT- we do not, in fact, have to respond to what the dumbest human on the planet thinks or says.
Yeah I know I was bad and responded to GBT earlier.
No, I don't respond to them, and in fact BLOCK them. But they take over discussions, and I see their hate filled comments in other poster's quotes as the other posters respond to them.
Maybe they are just being paid to insite responses by being juvenile f'g jerks. But this is not how I want to spend my time.
I say this only because I like the site otherwise and wish the best for those who run it.
Perhaps it would be in their best interest (and ours) to limit the input of those who run the discussions into the ground (?).

Ah yes, that's very frustrating!
It's definitely frustrating since this is the best site for finding running news- it was the easiest place to find the World Champs schedule and streaming.
