Charlie Kirk has very little of my respect, but I do not wish this on him. I hope that the shooter is caught as soon as possible, and faces serious consequences. All murder is wrong, but political assassination is right up there with hate crimes for me as the worst of the worst.

genuinely - if he dies, is this a political assassination? he doesn't hold office, he's just a public figure who has opinions on politics.

this does make it worse imo. you understand an assassin responding violently to power being exerted on him, even if you find it disproportionate. i have more sympathy for luigi, and would have more sympathy for a hypothetical trump assassin, for example, than i do for this shooter.

But mass shootings are okay for those same enemies. They will scream and cry about a far right person getting shot but don't do anything about kids getting shot in schools.

Literally no one makes any statements like “those kids are pieces of shit, but they didn’t deserve to be shot” comments after kids get shot in school shootings. Universal horror whenever innocent kids are shot.

I think so. He's a political figure and very likely was shot because of his political views.

I'm not sure it really matters with regards to the criminal prosecution.
 
I'm not a fan of Kirk, but people shouldn't get shot for expressing their views. However...

Charlie Kirk says gun deaths "unfortunately" worth it to keep 2nd Amendment

The conservative founder of Turning Point USA made the comments following a mass shooting in Nashville last week that resulted in six deaths.

I believe it would be. Unless it is a stalker or some ex-lover or something.

He’s a hate-monger and if he was shot for ideological reasons it was probably because of that.
 
Didn’t see it myself but someone on social media said CNN guest said he’s stable and breathing. Amazing if true based on what people are saying happened in the video. Didn’t watch myself.

Pretty depraved post.

So you're saying that because Charlie Kirk is an unapologetic Christian conservative that you don't like he "deserves" (reaps what he sows) to be shot by a left wing political assassin? Got it.

I'm saying our current political climate wouldn't exist without his amoral contributions.

Chickens come home to roost.
