I definitely DO NOT approve of murder

That has nothing to do with the fact that I can’t help thinking the world is a better place without him

I’ve seen reports that, as well as the banal suggestion reported here, he said school mass shootings are a process worth paying for the 2nd amendment gun rights

What an antisocial arrogant and thoughtless πŸ’©πŸ’©πŸ’©πŸ’©

Kirk deserves no empathy. He and his bum-buddy trump have none and also lack other essential elements required to be a fully functioning human being.

End of......

The MSM are treating him like a principled old school Republican and that both sides need to stop being violent. I guess they can’t count. When the Minnesota 4 were shot, 2 dead and 2 serious wounded, most MAGA and Trump didn’t show any concern. No flag lowered and no Presidential Medals and barely a mention.

Yeeeeaaaaah, I still can’t figure out why he was so wildly unpopular πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈπŸ˜†

His ridiculous comments are made for click bait, to garner peoples attention. Unfortunately, he didn't realise the extent of the violence they generated.

Very bad politics to generate publicity.

Not sure why you are so generous to him as to credit him with not realising the impact of his remarks. That smirk at the end of his speech in the video suggests to me he knew exactly what he was doing and the effect it would have. How could he not?

You're probably correct.

The USA has been reduced to mourning someone who incited violence and ignores mass shooters in schools killing innocent children.

Correction, the MAGAs are. The American majority know better. It's the MSM and the MAGAs lionizing this loudmouth.

Charlie is what you get when you mix religion with politics. This is exactly why they should be separated. Too many Christians thought he was religious, but his politics didn’t follow the teachings of Jesus. I highly doubt that Jesus was political in any way.

No, Jesus wasn't. He's above that (even if Progressive-Democratic politics would be a better fit for him).

He was sick in his head and they didn’t even see that. As long as you are with Trump You are doing the right thing. Live by the sword and you die by the sword.

Exactly! Credit the perp's Dad! Shut up Patel!

While I wouldn't want Kirk to be outright killed, the guy did say odious crap on the regular!

My condolences go to his family and his wife and children who saw it happen in front of him. I can't help but imagine his three year old seeing a torrent of red come out of Daddy's next and later asking when daddy is coming home.

But him? Forget it. I am a Universal Reconciliation-believing Progressive Christian and I just pray for his messed up soul in the purifying flames and that he repents.

I Pity the villain but hate their sins.

Addressing messed up jerks like Kirk should be done with speech and the pen, not a bullet, bomb or blade.

Hopefully that is the case for most. Kirk wasn't even a soldier or politician. He was some annoying rando who blabbed stupid stuff all the time. One may as well fly a flag half-staff for a Nineties-Aughties-era "Morning Zoo" or "Shock Jock" type dejay.

He was like a political "Bubba the Love Sponge" or "Opie & Anthony", a younger, slimmer Rush Limbaugh.

Now, he's the wingnut answer to Alan Berg, another loud, brash, crass, confrontational radio pundit for the Left who was murdered by NeoNazis.

To the Nutzies from The Order and the sniper guy from the Kirk shooting... THAT'S NOT HOW ONE SHOULD RESPOND TO POLITICAL OPPONENTS.

Same with Luigi. Don't shoot the evil greedy CEO, speak out against the injustice of a greedy for-profit healthcare system and Insurance Companies who refuse to deliver on their professed service when a patron needs it!
