The [Character] Assassination of Charlie Kirk

Ooh has the FBI discovered some grand “leftist” plot that went further than one wacko with a gun?

You have an inside scoop on that data or something?

The killer was radicalized by online leftist hatred of anyone that does not confirm. How many here have been called Nazis and fascists by fellow posters?

You still refusing to acknowledge the subject of this thread did the same thing, to some degree of frequency. It is called hypocrisy and "situational ethics."

What is absolutely bullshit argument.

I'm sure there are times Charlie Kirk made personal attacks. I've done it. You've done it. But can you cite a time or place where Kirk did that shortly after the target of those attacks was murdered in an act politically motivated intolerance?

Context matters, and it's blithering nonsense to assert otherwise.

So, why the one way street outrage? (The question you keep tap dancing around.)

Charlie Kirk was willing to debate anyone. He would even go 20 versus one. For that temerity, the crazed left assassinated him.

One man assassinated him. Every time you blame the left as a whole, you help to excuse Tyler Robinson from responsibility for his own actions.

So all it takes is to call someone a name and they can go and shoot people?


Weak sauce.

Tyler Robinson was radicalized by the leftist hatred that calls everyone who disagrees with them Nazi or fascist. It even occurs on this board.

Perhaps men shouldn’t have guns if they’re going to be so easily triggered 🤷‍♀️

No, it does not excuse murder and assassination. But weak people will use it as an rationale.

Even if that were true, calling someone a fascist or a Nazi is not the same thing as justifying their murder. You can't pin the blame for this on liberal politics. Responsibility for the murder lies solely with Tyler Robinson.

Well, in a way constantly referring to people as Nazis is justifying murder. If you honestly believed that a fascist takeover of the government was happening and democracy was being destroyed and we were headed for tyrannical ruin, it would be a moral imperative to take whatever action was necessary to keep that from happening. Including violence.

Yup. The left keeps saying that and then when people are assassinated, the response is “we didn’t really mean that”.

I don't believe that anyone deserves to die just for being a fascist or a Nazi, and I don't personally know anyone else who believes that either.

Actually, many of them are saying he had it coming and are bending over backwards to justify what happened to him

"He died in a sewer he helped create" is a good description.

No judgement, just fact.
