Don't ever ask me to mourn an asshole like Charlie Kirk. The lies he helped propogate through Tuning-Point killed tge era of intelligent debate and set up the clusterfuck we all now live in. Treat the cause instead of lamenting the symptoms.

What about the three students shot and critically wounded in Colorado today.

Violence is awful. We want gun laws!

It doesn't happen in a vacuum Kevin Roberts, head of the Heritage Foundation, said in an appearance on “Real America’s Voice” that the coming “revolution” will “remain bloodless if the left allows it to be”—a thinly veiled threat against those who resist the far-right’s efforts to seize power.

Personally I am not religious so all these thoughts and prayers feel hollow to me to avoid talking about the extreme political landscape even being projected onto us in Europe Even my local far-right is trying to use it to attack others in the political landscape and it's mindboggling to me

I remember when Trump and other Republicans were joking and cheering when Nancy Pelosi's husband was attacked...

I used to be such an impath. But ever since Sandy Hook, the absolute COWARDICE AND CALOUSEDNESS of conservatives in ALLOWING THE PARENTS OF SLAUGHTERED CHILDREN to be RE-VICTIMIZED by being haranged by Alex Jones and his band of malicious morons, my compassion for 2A supporters is ZERO.

MAGAs, Republicans & Conservatives were silent if only to mock the political murders in MN.

Our foreign enemies laugh at us and relish in the fact that our country is eating itself from within. Leaders who raise the rhetoric and then ask to lower the temperature are a joke. Take responsibility just once in your life. One can have empathy even though the person they disagree with doesn't

Here's a thought. Kirk stirred up people with hate and MAGA rhetoric. He supported this Nazi regime and didn't give a damn about the innocents being killed in Ukraine or Gaza. He also said America needs a few gun deaths to keep the 2nd Amendment. We don't need that type of thinking.

Sorry, as a European: Good riddance. Shootings are your daily reality. Your choice. You chose a "winner-takes-all" Las Vegas version of Democracy. Pepsi vs Coca. Democracy only thrives with 5 or more parties. Until you get there: See ya!

I disagree that this is "democracy failing." The country's form of democracy (corrupt as it is) elected people who won't do anything about the proliferation of guns, meaning that lone actors with grudges or mental problems or whatever can easily acquire the means to end another's life.

I know Charlie Kirk is roasting in the deepest parts of Dante's Inferno of hell

I have respect for Charlie Kirk, he said that gun deaths were worth it to protect the second amendment.

He never made an argument he fast talking answers that were extremely condescending disagree totally he just turned it on its face and back at you he never answered the questions he was a racist a homophone and he loved and praised that guns were good. Live by the sword die by the sword.

But some far right are using this to stoke up people. Why. Do they wanting all to fight one another

Without the Constitution, violence is all there is left.

Perfectly said!

By the way, it was not the only f*ing shooting today!!!!😕 The sheriff's office said in an update about 3 p.m. Wednesday that one of the three people injured is the shooting suspect. www.9news.com/mobile/artic...

We hope so.

We know this, however democracy is not failing, it is the PEOPLE who are failing democracy.

To lower the flag at half staff for charlie kirk an unabashed fascist, just another chance to divide the USA 🇺🇸 😔

Just because someone commits a crime, doesn’t mean democracy is failing

Finally someone who can aim. It's elephant season. #NaziLivesDontMatter www.cnn.com/us/live-news...

So true Opponents should be beaten by arguments, not weapons. 🙏RIP🕯️

I agree with you, but look at who we got in the Office of the Presidency. He doesn't deserve that office or the title, and his minion. Hmmm....?

Because society is failing to think beyond the end of their fists. It’s easier to throw a punch than it is to thoughtfully examine a situation. We want instant results not discussion.

Love ya bro but them gray chest hairs popping out and wiggling around are distracting! 😂

Does he consider lies a compelling arguement?

Would maga demonstrate any compassion if Kinz were injured or worse? Absolutely no chance.

Let's see how long it takes them to blame it on an immigrant / democrat / mental health / minority / all of the above.

Wonder if his wife will come out against guns now?

He won’t bring that up, bad for his buddies at the NRA

Exactly!!! Not one word from folks about another school shooting. It’s sickening.

With all due respect, if democracy was working and the Republicans in our government did what the people wanted, there would be a lot fewer weapons of war in the hands of ordinary citizens.

Frankly, he had a very good argument. His argument was let everybody have a gun because it is our second amendment right. He had a very good argument. Do you remember that argument? Or he said yes it’s OK that some people die? I like you, but we’re kind of tired of being blamed.

are we this has anything to do with politics? I heard charlie Kirk’s gay lover shot him? A lot of people are asking questions

This reminds me of when I was young and someone shot George Wallace.

I was hoping this was a staged thing like Trump's charade or something minor but once I read he was hit in the neck I felt sick. Doesn't matter who he was or what he said.. this should not have happened

Uhhh nope. Done playing that game and losing.

I'm hoping his wife and kids can find some freedom now that he isn't pumping garbage into their heads.

And there was a school shooting today in Evergreen, Colorado. Which will go totally unaddressed because of this.

Children, including his own!!

Yet he actually said that it was worth if for others to lose those lives for his 2nd amendment rights.. www.snopes.com/fact-check/c...

Empathy - while we wait for the next one that will do nothing about…??

I said mourn his death, not the man himself. It's fair to mourn any loss of life to gun violence.

Yep. Thoughts and prayers, now let's move on to the victims that didn't stoke violence as their life choices.

Political violence is truly horrifying and is very destabilizing. We must not normalize these awful act - no matter which “side” is committing them.

Adam, you are a good guy, but please stop! Kirk fomented violence, and he became the victim of the violence he fomented. What do you call that? Life coming full circle.

I mourn for the victims of the Colorado school shooting today. I will NEVER mourn for a Nazi. The world is a better place without him.

Violence is not the answer but there are consequences for actions and rhetoric.

Dude children were shot in another school shooting today. I don't care about this adult you reference in your video.

Kirks arguments were specious at best. So now he becomes a martyr for the far right; snd no one is talking about the school shooting in Colorado today. More gun violence , with no hope in sight that the darned Republicans will ever support stronger gun laws.

Trump wins people over through lies and deception. That is not the basis for a democracy, but it is for a dictatorship. I just find it appropriate that CK was able to see what he believed in come true.

If you promote hate - hate will find you

Republicans after Charlie Kirk is shot and killed

Live by the gun, die by the gun.

Try these numbers: In 2023, the most recent year for which complete data is available, 46,728 people died from gun-related injuries, according to the CDC. 46728/365=128.0219 per day. All enabled by politicians

To me, there has been a systematic and deliberate destabilisation of America in the last 10yrs

When you insult Taylor Swift…

Its awful that he died. But he reaped what he sowed

This country is off the rails. You'd have to live in Narnia to think this isn't a long and painful purging of hateful, destructive pundits in this country. Wait until Project 2025 goes full throttle, and you see millions lose their health coverage like me. It will be regular news like today.

Any shooting is awful, thoughts to Kirk family. When u spew hateful things like "blacks were better off in 1850" and "women pregnant from rape should be forced to keep the gift from God" what do u expect. Kirk never graduated college, was clearly just recycling Trumps hate issues to impress Trump.

"I disagree with what you say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it." "Though shalt not kill." Don't we believe these things? If we do, they apply to everybody.

And all the ghouls on bsky are celebrating the murder. That's what the left has become. Sad.

Democracy was created to ensure freedom. And freedom must be defended. The USA are ruled now by a fascist regime that won't go away by praying! 80 years ago those who killed fascists were heros.

What about the kids shot in Colorado. They will barely make the news. Shame on us shame on America.

👏

Democracy failed when a traitor was allowed to run for office again after staging a coup.

Oh god no did one of the kids shot in Denver die? I thought they were doing ok.

... Democracy is failing. Unidentified thugs in mask jumping out of unmarked vehicles snatching BROWN youth. It's fucking failing ...

2. This is unfortunately the type of environment Charlie Kirk and the entire right wing wanted and fought FOR, not against. I'm not justifying his death, but let's start pointing out the actual cause of why there is so much political violence in the first place.

That is hilarious and so wrong on so many levels. Every single part of that statement is incorrect and ahistorical. You feel sorry for that piece of shit because you are a nazi, just like the one that was killed today. Just say that. It's a lot faster.

Trump’s hate and division fueled Charlie Kirk’s tragic death (9/10/25). His “MAGA vs. all” rhetoric—never unity for all—stokes violence. FBI links 62% of hate crimes to such speech. Trump will never stop, he uses hate rhetoric for division and control.

Another school shooting in Colorado.

Just wait until trump uses the killing of Kirk as the kick off to a violent civil war and signs EO that the 2nd amendment must be destroyed to protect everyone or some version of this...maga will come unhinged from trump

Nor is it the 1770s when every American household NEEDED a gun.

Kinzinger I’m still proud of what you did in the government in Illinois!! You stood up to people who were clearly wrong. Come back to Illinois and help us shine!!

I cannot "respect" a vile, bigoted arse just because he can make a compelling argument or gather a crowd just like I can never respect Hitler for the powerful, compelling orator that he was.

Unfortunately we’re not better than this

yeah I know, I got shot too

the russian military sucks at fighting

But it does spark the outrage needed to make the dems the focused enemy at a time when Kirk and his very large following were focusing on the epstein files

It was a self fulfilling prophecy

Hate breeds hate. Karma catches up with you. Both sides need to stop it.

Kirk was an opportunist pod caster. He's not the root cause of our democracy failing, but it is failing. An entire political party has handed over their power to a king and the Top of the judicial branch, the SCOTUS, is simply a rubber stamp. So now it's in the hands of the people, but not Kirk.

You reap what you sow Adam. If you preach hate, you breed hate.

Sorry Adam. But on twitter maga cult clowns r blame liberal n democrats. Also cult clowns r itching for war n r sayin Tis war. So fuck them

Adam... why did you not mention the Democratic lawmaker's names? And no, we are not required to mourn someone's passing... we can be resolute that violence is not acceptable in any case... Kirk did not argue effectively... he only fomented hatred of others through propaganda for profit...

At a normal time in our history, I might agree with you. But this isn’t normal. The people like Charlie Kirk are leading us into this. He was full of dangerous rhetoric. I wouldn’t be surprised to find out that some Trumper is the one that shot him. As to his killing, I don’t give a shit.

Since you said murder,just one, I'll assume your ignoring Colorado.

thank you for this

I’m ok with mourning the coming civil war that has been instigated by Trump & co for years, but Kirk? No bro. He was hateful towards women, minorities, trans, gay, anyone not white and male. Try again

2/BTW, I was an adult in the '60s. What's going on American today is worse than the '60s, when we have children shot in their schools and other Americans killed in churches, synagogues, nightclubs, theaters, bowling alleys, outdoor events, grocery stores, and malls. I wish we were better than that.

😂 seriously man ? it something - a man that incited people to be violent everyday, gets shot. dont you find that ironic ? gun reform now ?????

"Respect, in a way, his arguments"? Adam, please! Do you respect Hitler because he was supposedly a skilled orator?

I agree, and am glad you call this a murder, instead of throwing fuel on a rhetorical fire.

We have a leader who is just going to make this worse, not better. Do you think Republicans will FINALLY act on gun control?

You're a good man, Mr. Kinzinger.

we no longer have a civilized society in the US. our society has devolved into barbarism from our government on down to it's citizens
