America really is a mental country.

Who would genuinely believe that someone should be assassinated for holding different political views. Honestly feels like a low point.

I had never heard of the guy before. Spent a couple of minutes reading some of his views and some of the things that he`s been quoted as saying, and it seems I`ve not missed out on much, comes across as a bit of a dick. I`m of the opinion that words are only words, nothing anyone says can offend or hurt me, but I do see that some people can get really uptight about words, and so coming out with some of the nonsense he spouted, in a country so full of gun-toting crazy folk as America, is a bit like putting a target on yourself.
At the end of the day no one should be killed for speaking, but on the other hand, actual nice people are getting killed for no reason at all as well.
On balance, looks like he was simply asking for it, and it`s no great loss anyway

I unfortunately came upon the video by mistake and it is not good viewing.
I’ll be honest I didn’t even know him from Captain Kirk but I really am flummoxed by the American way of thinking about gun laws endorsed (through research) by Charlie Kirk and many many others.

For those of us who went through Dunblane, it is incomprehensible why they still think they have the right to bear arms 200 plus years after the Declaration of Independence

There was a school shooting in Colorado Wednesday afternoon. But to people like Charlie Kirk - I’d never heard of him - deaths from guns was just a reminder of their right to bear arms. Absolute sickos the lot of them.

Honestly, you’ve got to be some kind of low life to come onto a thread about someone you apparently know nothing about only to call him names and say he was asking for it after he was murdered in front of his daughters.

The first part of your post is an insult. No point looking down at other posters when you yourself wrote that.

Buffy, that’s such a stupid comparison I’m wondering why you’re even trying to make it.

Tragic.

Trump really does need to take a lead on making this apolitical. Unfortunately he appears to be taking the opposite approach which, I fear, is going to lead to further issues.

The right to free speech and the right to bear arms is effectively what has lead to this conclusion. Its a sad day when someone is shot for airing their beliefs, no matter if people agree or disagree.

But, the problem lies in such open gun laws that allow people to bear arms, and even conceal carrying them. One thing that Charlie Kirk advocated for and was shot whilst defending them.

The next question now is where does it leave America? It feels like this is the next step towards civil war there.

A terrible tragedy and one that will likely have long lasting effects. It was only earlier this year that a couple of Democrat politicians were murdered on their doorstep in Minnesota by a radical right winger. Be interesting to see who was behind this latest murder though at present the gunman seems to have just vanished.
Political assassinations aren`t new in America though. In the sixties you had JFK, RFK, Malcolm X and Martin Luther King all murdered in the space of a few years.

Videos appearing online appear to show a sniper situation from a nearby and two guys standing behind Kirk making what appears to be signals just before the shot, from the angles it looks like a hit.
Was it the old guy?
The US is a horrible upside down parody.

Democrat

Can`t remember Trump doing an address to the nation when those two Democrat politicians were murdered, or have all flags put to half mast. In fact, I`m pretty sure that he and his cronies completely ignored it.

Indeed and I`m fully expecting Trump to use this as a reason to further clamp down on his political opponents.
