I Do Not Know What to Say...

 Charlie Kirk died today... assassinated for what he believed in.




And here's what some had to say -- that he deserved it. Or one of his own supporters shot him "while celebrating." They quickly added in the two assassination attempts on Trump -- somehow he deserved that, too. (Or just made it up.)


This is sick. This is wrong. How can you live with yourselves, saying things like this?

I would say the same thing if Kirk was a dedicated Democrat supporter. 

You should, too.

Update:  FBI director Patel says they've caught the shooter. Maybe yes, maybe not. 


Mark Kelly (D-Ariz):  “Political violence is never the answer. It divides us. But also, I’ve got to say, political rhetoric, too, from both sides, often gets out of hand and it incites people to do things like this...

     “think about .. our words and the consequences of them, you know, from both sides of the political spectrum.”

Charlie Kirk, a name synonymous with having the courage to speak what you believe and seek/welcome conversations with those whom you disagree with. I’m not a political person but I am a proud American citizen and today was startling, saddening, and maddening all at the same time.. I’ve realized that I’m a bit naive to how crazy it all has become but watching a man get hunted and slayed in broad daylight because of his opinions made me disgusted and devastated. This can’t be what we actually are or become as a country.. I believe that the good people will always outnumber the evil people but damn… today was an alarming day in our country’s history.

It must be a terrible time for the wife and children of Charlie Kirk. Politics need peace.
