A video of an altercation at the Idaho vigil was shared on X. The poster wrote that the incident took place after a man on a scooter yelled out "F*** Charlie Kirk," but the video does not capture that moment.

The video shows the man, wearing a white T-shirt and a backpack, being surrounded as the crowd chants "USA!"

A group of men start beating the man, who at one point falls to the ground as he is kicked and hit. The man then gets up and trades punches with those surrounding him.

Several accounts on X, including Visegrád 24and Idaho Liberty Dogs, identified the man on the bike as Terry Wilson, an activist from the local BLM chapter.

The left just doesn’t know when to stop.

So are you saying the guy who said "**** Charlie Kirk" deserved an ass beating for just saying something provocative?

Sorry, I still don't believe violence is the answer to words.

I think that is a very predicable outcome when someone rides into a vigil to provoke the mourners by disrespecting the dead. Especially within hours of the assassination when emotions are running high and raw.

Right now, people should be praying this doesn’t become open warfare on the left not instigating at vigils.

So you might say sometimes violence is a consequence of acting like a loud inflammatory jackass?

Gee, so what you are saying is that the right needs to be utterly crushed before they start trying to murder people in the name of “getting back at the left”.

Make it makes sense - the people upset over Kirk being murdered ~possibly/likely~ for being an asshole would have no problem murdering someone else for being an asshole.

So really, the left and right appear to have much in common.

Interesting because the wrong punch could kill someone.

But today, not yesterday, it's the natural consequence of a person acting like a fool.

Shooting someone in the neck from 200 yards because you don’t like their political speech isn’t the same as getting popped in the jaw for insulting someone.

If both people end up dead, does it matter?

Then when is it ok to blame the victim of a physical assault for that assault, and when is it not ok?

Napoleon wants to carve out space for violence that suits his purposes, it would seem.

I’m just pointing out that you’ve brought what follows from Charlie Kirk’s assassination on yourselves especially when you instigate.
