The killing of Charlie Kirk is a terrible, devastating, tragic event. My condolances to his familiy and friends.

But my question today is as follows: What now, dear americans ? Which impact will his death have on your society?
As a non-american, my first analysis is as follows. You have, in my opinion, mainly two ways of reacting:

- "Peace and love". You americans come together, from each wing and every fraction, and you say:
"Enough is enough !" Enough hatred, enough polarization, enough violence, enough killings. Let us unite in a brotherhood
and be friends, despite some disagreement on this or that. Peace and love !

- War. Expand the hatred, expand the war. You are not me and you will never be. I hate you, your group and your opinions!
I am a warrior of the good side and anyone not with us is an enemy. War !

So which solution do you - reading this - support?
This is a serious question; it's about the future of the United States of America.
all the violence and hate is comming from one side.

the other side wants peace

until the other side repents and admits their failure. and stops all the hate and threats to people who just do not agree with them.

there is no hope.. only a possible civil war if things get out of hand..

I think this guy said it about the best I could put it

Here is a link to the post.

I am told that as a state representative this is the moment where I'm supposed to express my heartfelt condolences and then stand in solidarity with those on the other side of the aisle as we condemn political violence and stand unified as one people.

But we aren't "one people" are we?

The truth is we haven't been for some time now, and there is really no point in pretending anymore, if there ever was.

We are two very different peoples. We may occupy the same piece of geography, but that is where the similarities seem to abruptly end.

I convinced myself for a long time that whenever the left called me a racist, a bigot, a sexist, a fascist, a "threat to democracy" for even the most innocent of disagreements, that it was simply hyperbolic rhetoric done for effect.

And now the "effect" is a widow and two orphaned children, because the left couldn’t bear the thought of a peaceful man debating them and winning.

I don’t think they realize it yet, but murdering Charlie is going to be remembered as the day where we finally woke up to what this fight really is.

It’s not a civil dispute among fellow countrymen. It’s a war between diametrically opposed worldviews which cannot peacefully coexist with one another. One side will win, and one side will lose.

Charlie tried to win that fight through argumentation, through discussion, through peaceful resolution of differences.

And the other side murdered him.

Not because he was “extreme” or “inciting violence” or any other hyperbolic slur they hurled at him. They murdered him because he was effective. Because he was unafraid. Because he inspired others and made them feel like they had a voice, that they were not alone. And he did it at the very institutions which have fomented so much hatred toward conservatives.

I don’t want to “stand in solidarity” with the other side of the aisle. I want to defeat you. I want to defeat the godless ideology that kills babies in the womb, sterilizes confused children, turns our cities into cesspools of degeneracy and lawlessness…and that murdered Charlie Kirk.

Social media is aflame right now with leftist celebration of Charlie’s death.

I wonder if any among them understand what has just happened. If there is a Yamamoto somewhere in their midst warning, that all they have done is awoken a sleeping giant.

I doubt it. I think they gave up such introspection and self-awareness long ago.

I don’t know exactly what will happen next. I just know that it won’t be the same as what has happened in the past.

There will be thoughts and prayers…Charlie would have wanted prayers. Not for himself but for those left behind and for the country that he loved. But then there will be a reckoning.

My Christian faith requires me to love my enemies and pray for those who curse me. It does not require me to stand idly by in the midst of savagery and barbarism...quite the opposite.

So every time I feel tired, every time I feel discouraged or overwhelmed, I am going to watch the video of a good man being murdered in Utah…I will force myself to watch it…and then I will return to the work of destroying the evil ideology responsible for that and so much more.

Rest with God Charlie, your fight is over.

Ours is just beginning.

Thanks for posting this. The US has to decide what its national worldview is and from where it derives its standards, including what it deems to be mental illness. It used to know more so than it currently does. It used to know what to stand up against as soon as it raised its ugly head.

Again, thanks for posting.
 
Now folks;
Mr Trump said, even long before the investigations began, that the cause of all this madness is the "left side". Well, really ? During the last 10 years, who has done the most political caused killings; left side or right side?

The answer is, according to all statistics; the right side.

Besides that; Mr Trump proclaimed death penalty even before investigations began. This is in opposition to all healty democratic ways of running a society. But of course; Mr Trump wants to be a dictator.

Be aware dear Americans. Mr Trump leads you all into a dictatorship.

Sources?

Can we count the riots from the left? Which ended up with dead people. Often the riots were politically fueled to my knowledge.
 
thats why they want to disarm us, so they can kills us


The fact is that Republicans are not the violent ones. For the ones being blamed for not giving up their guns, they are the most peaceful of the two sides. They yap on about Jan 6, but if Republicans were planning to take over the country they'd do a better job than that. But they don't. They fight their fights at the ballot box. And this time we defeated the socialists. Hopefully we can continue to do so.
 
I pray there will be peace
Yeah. Sure you are.

Here is this guy's post the day of the murder. Does THAT look like a prayer for peace!?

RESIDENT ALIEN:
"He was a right-wing extremist and activist. Not to mention a racist and a bigot. Don't let his boyish good looks fool you. It's not known if it was politically motivated, though that would be a reasonable guess.
I have compassion for those he left behind, who loved him; but I'm not at all shocked or surprised by this. It was predictable. You reap what you sow."

Pam Bondi said she was looking into designating certain types of speech "hate speech.
What I just posted you said IS HATE SPEECH!! And on a Christian site no less, from a guy that claims he's a Christian!


Anyone with an ounce of common sense can see who the real threats to democracy are
We do. And it's leftists like YOU.

Statistics prove the vast amount of political violence in this country comes from the right.
This is just a patently false LIE! It's almost as if lying were this poster's natural language.
