    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.

        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.
