    Yeah, kinda. I guess maybe you can clarify. I’m saying that killing Charlie Kirk was an act of terrorism. I guess my comment only makes sense if the perpetrator was motivated by left wing ideals ie left wing terrorism, but that isn’t clear yet.

      No one can possibly know if this killing was a terrorist act. No one knows anything about the suspect yet, so far as I know. No one really knows anything except that Charlie Kirk was killed while speaking at an engagement in Utah.

      This wasn’t even the most egregious shooting that happened this week. But no one seems interested in talking about the latest high school shooting.

      It would be well to stick to facts. Leave speculation out of it.

        Yeah that’s what I meant by my speculation only making sense in one scenario. Im fine waiting to find out.

          If you were fine waiting to find out, it seems you would’ve waited to find out. Why speculate at all if you agree that speculation is inappropriate?

          Unless the real goal was to stir up some shit

            My actual goal right now is to call people out for celebrating someone’s death, just because they don’t like that person’s opinions. It’s heinous, barbaric, immoral, and leads to death of democracy.

              I think it’s worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights. —Charlie Kirk, Salt Lake City, 2023

              It isn’t celebratory to acknowledge the stone-cold fact that he was a victim of his own position. And that he himself said this was acceptable.

      You haven’t said much since it was revealed the shooter was from a Trump suppporting Mormon family and he was a goyper.

      CK wasn’t far right enough for him! Does that technically make CK a left winger victim of far right extremism?

        Working on my house, so I haven’t seen a motive yet. Has he said anything or is it still people fitting him into whatever narrative they prefer?
