See, this is the problem. Someone makes a comment, someone else attempts to engage and debate and the response is "shut up". It`s like debating with a pigeon.

The murderer has been caught. According to Trump his father persuaded him to give himself up. So much for all these idiots online showing off their so called expertise that this must have been a professional assassination.

And although my eyes were open
They just might as well be closed

Idiots are going to idiot.

It is still an assassination, you just need to remember that Americans always push the boat out and add unnecessary adjectives

I don’t understand the grandstanding for this man. He was, in all fairness, a TikTok influencer who spoke at events.

If he was as important to the republican movement as is being played out then they failed to protect him. The flight home on Airforce 2, the order of half mast flags, “he was like a son” said DJT, and now an open casket to mourn has been suggested.

Redstar - you’re falling into the same trap as everyone else that dismisses murder because it somehow aligns with their politics.

When your sources for justification of a murder are all left wing professors/MSNBC & CNN commentators etc etc would it be worth asking the question, am I allowing a political position to be more important than the fundamentals of what is right and what is wrong?

Let’s say David Packman was assassinated in the street… would it be okay for everyone who would prefer a right leaning government to either celebrate/insult David/dismiss it as no great loss?

The fact people cant debate the issue at hand without falling out shows the level of this forum.

Calling for use of Air Force 2 and Medal of Freedom etc is Trump trying to politicise Kirks name. He’s using him as a Martyr.

There’s no doubt he was important for that republican campaign but I agree, they go over the top and it looks like grandstanding

Quite simply he`s a Trump ally.

Trump blames anything negative on Joe Biden & his constant rhetoric is that the Democrats are to blame for everything.

He stokes the flames of political violence with his claims to the point where someone has now been caught up in that simply for supporting him.

America is utterly screwed with him in charge, and the rest of us aren`t faring too well either!

Until Wednesday I`d never heard of Charlie Kirk. Now, having read up on his views and how he went about expressing them, I`d have to say I find most of them quite odious. That`s not a valid reason for assassinating him but I can understand how it might have motivated somebody to take that course of action. He knew how to utilise social media to his advantage but must have been aware of the risks involved in doing so. In that respect I`d say he was to some extent the architect of his own downfall.

The irony is that someone like Tommy Robinson would have most likely have been taken out if we had the same slack gun laws America has amongst many others but he’d welcome the same.

To me that’s far to simplistic. There’s always been something in America (que Razorlight)

Actually done a bit of AI research.

Between 1980 and 2013 there were 1,199 politically motivated acts of violence connected to American politics. (I’ll copy and paste the answer if anyone wants to see it)

Basically I’m working that out to an average of 36ish a year, for 33 years before trump had been active in politics.

Oh I agree its absolutely simplistic.

I admit to not knowing enough about American politics to argue the point, tho lol!

Another probably even MORE simplistic view would be that Trump doesn`t really give a damn about the guy, but has ramped everything up to stop folk talking about Epstein for 5 minutes at least!

In our lifetime I think we believe what we want to believe
We will not listen to or accept anything that is contradictory to our beliefs
But we will accept a lie if it augments our belief and shun a truth if it doesn`t

The reason the list hasn’t came out is because they’re all on it. Democrats and republicans.

It’s the same in the UK. The people who link between Epstein and Saville… the British Royal Family

I think that’s true for lots of people unfortunately. We get tied to our beliefs

I don`t really have much of a view on American politics, other than how disappointing it is that people have allowed themselves to be influenced so much that they either see themselves as staunchly right wing or left wing and they won`t allow themselves to even attempt to listen to the other side or consider other ideas, or compromise to accept other well thought out positions. It`s exactly what the people who really run America want. Even more than most countries it has the illusion of democracy. Little rich kids like Charlie Kirk are getting richer by influencing people that aren`t intelligent enough to know they are being played.

I couldn`t find a David Packman but did find a David Pakman, couldn`t really see much in the way of controversial or inflammatory statements from him though, nothing that would make some wee incel try to kill him. I would probably still dismiss that as no great loss too, at the end of the day, I don`t know him, and I have experienced plenty real loss, people that I have loved, so the death of people I don`t know doesn`t mean that much to me. Also, every day plenty good innocent people are being killed in school shootings and war zones and those are the sort of deaths I do feel sad about, not those that seek to preach hatred and division like Charlie Kirk. People like him on both sides of the political spectrum can continue to be sidelined as far as I`m concerned.

As a side note, what`s with the two guys standing behind him doing the strange hand signals before he got shot? Takes the heat off Trump for these Epstein files that Kirk has been wanting released. Trump has probably gained most by this, very convenient

Great! Now you’ve got more of a reference for my question regarding Pakman! Even better that you both seem to share a lot of the same political views/beliefs etc So hypothetically, let’s say David was assassinated in the street… would it be okay for everyone who would prefer a right leaning government to either celebrate/insult David/dismiss it as no great loss?
