Charlie Kirk stuff was always over the top and it was hypocritical on both sides, both for conservatives acting like the guy deserved sainthood and for the liberals who were glad a guy got shot for speech, but don't say boo about guys that die that actively ruined other people's lives.

I'm not sure about anyone being glad he was shot. That's hyperbole.
My recollection was simply that it was understandable that he offended someone. That's different than both glad and/or justified. It was wrong, nobody would say otherwise.

It was horrible that he was murdered. It was also unfortunate that Kirk ignored the warning of the security expert that told him there was a 100% chance he would be murdered during his college campus tour if he didn't improve security.
"The security expert had advised Kirk to use bulletproof glass panels to protect him and metal detectors to screen anyone within a 700 metre radius.
"I told him that a sniper would probably go for a headshot, which means it was of critical importance to have the ballistic glass," Herzog said."

As I have pointed out on several occasions, his security team was a joke. The event at Utah State was WIDE OPEN. No central entry gate. No tickets being scanned
No bags being checked or metal detectors, etc. No one on the perimeter. No one on the roof.
How could you be so dumb?
It's almost as though he was setting himself up to be a martyr.

When Charlie Kirk died, Republicans said celebrating a person's death was beneath us. Called it vile. Called for accountability.
Trump just posted: "Robert Mueller just died. Good, I'm glad he's dead."

Charlie Kirk was assassinated by a disturbed person with an equally disturbed transgender boyfriend.
Many libs thought Kirk deserved it because he was racist or too Christian for their liking.
It's that simple.
Indeed. At the time I posted that I disagreed with most of his opinions but I was greatly saddened and disturbed as I personally lowered our office flag to half staff. I also expressed my sorrow for his wife and kids. I still feel sorrow for his kids.concordtom said:PAC-10-BEAR said:

You are entitled to your opinion, but I think many people could understand that he got shot, what with his vast inflammatory rhetoric - but NIT that he deserved it.
I think you state your opinions as fact, which is wrong.

Remember when people used to wear t-shirts that say Sex and Drugs and Rock-n-Roll?
I didn't think very highly of them, but they were generally young and stupid.
This is a grown man who makes the permanent pronouncement that I Believe In Corruption.
Further, watch interviews of him. It's like watching a drug addict tell you about all the times he get super high and did terrible things. Not funny!!!

Nixon looks squeaky clean by today's POTUS standards.
He also stopped the Vietnam War, which LBJ escalated, to the point where he wrecked the Bretton Woods gold standard, not to mention killing millions of Vietnamese and being responsible for the death of tens of thousands of GIs.
Quote:
- Balance of Payments Crisis: War spending contributed to a massive deficit in the U.S. balance of payments, creating a "gold drain" that ultimately forced President Nixon to end the dollar's convertibility into gold in 1971.
