  1. I know that at this point I shouldn’t be shocked by the ghoulish responses to cold-blooded murder, and yet I continue to be.

    Some of these replies are more hateful than anything I ever heard come out of Kirk’s mouth.

    1. They're idiots, Dude. They take snippets of his quotes to make sure they're out of context and paint him as the devil
      I'm a left wing Canadian. I listened to Charlie. He made some good points about things, and some things I didn't agree with. RIP.

    2. You are definetly not a "left wing Canadian". Not even close.

  2. No one should lose their life in this way and no one has the right to take another’s life, either. But the U.S. is now more than ever, in a politically charged and toxic climate. Yes, he was a husband and a father but so were those who were harmed, not by his "opinions," but by the authoritarian beliefs he actively promoted. Let’s be honest: the grief we’re witnessing isn’t about the loss of a human being — it’s about the loss of a megaphone. What the far right is really mourning isn’t a life silenced, but a voice of propaganda gone quiet. You can't dehumanize others and then demand humanity for yourself. Every death is a tragedy. Sometimes, so is the life that led to it. — R.I.P. Charlie Kirk

  4. "I think it's worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights"

    “I think empathy is a made up New Age term that does a lot of damage.”

    1. He has also acknowledged that empathy can be very effective when used in politics. But he seems to view it as something that can be misused — as a tool to manipulate rather than to genuinely understand.

  7. מסר לכל ישראלי שפוי שמחפש עתיד לילדיו.. עם ההתפתחות האדירה והמהירה של הטכנולוגיה והמצאת כ נשק חדשים והאפשרות של כל אדם או מדינה שיהיו בבעלותם, כמו מל"טים, כמו גם מדינות עניות שהגיעו להחזיק בטכנולוגיה של טילים בליסטיים שפגעה עמוק בתוך ישראל, ומערכות ההגנה החדישות לא הצליחו להתעמת איתם בכל רגע ורגע, התוצאה היא שההאצה של החיים והטכנולוגיה שלכם בכל רגע ורגע מחיר זול הישראלי השפוי מחפש מקום בטוח לילדיו בארצות הברית או בבריטניה או במקום אחר מלבד המזרח התיכון, כי לעתיד אין עתיד ואין ביטחון בקרב עמים שכניסתם לגן עדן קשורה במותם בהגנה על אדמתם.
    ‏A message to every sane Israeli seeking a future for their children:
    ‏With the tremendous and rapid advancement of technology and the development of new weapons—which can now be acquired by any individual or state, such as drones—even poor countries have obtained ballistic missile technology, striking deep into Israeli territory. The most advanced defense systems have failed to intercept them. The result? Your life and the lives of your children are in danger every single minute.
    ‏As time passes and technology accelerates, these threats will become even more accessible and affordable. A rational Israeli should seek a safe place for their children—whether in the United States, Britain, or anywhere outside the Middle East. What lies ahead is a future without security, surrounded by peoples whose entry into heaven is

  16. So after days of Republicans blaming and vilifying Democrats and trans people for Charlie Kirk's murder

    despite having NO CLUE who the person was,

    we find out it's a white guy from a Republican family in Utah who loved guns and wore a Trump costume for Halloween... and FBI officals are now DENYING initial FALSE unsourced reports that there was "pro-trans ideology" on the bullets.

    TRUMP AND REPUBLICANS NEED TO APOLOGIZE TO AMERICA!

  27. Once again emulating the propaganda tactics of Hitler and Goebbels, the Trump administration is portraying Kirk as a political martyr, an American version of the German Nazi Horst Wessel. After the latter’s violent death in February 1930, the Nazis eulogized Wessel as an exemplar of Germany’s patriotic youth. A hymn to honor Wessel’s memory, the notorious “Horst Wessel Song,” became the anthem of the Nazi Party.

  28. He was in favour of gun ownership and that same stance took his life. His life is not more important than any father, brother or son's in Palestine. He spent his life spewing hate towards muslims, blacks and other minorities, he was very much pro zionists and feared that israel will kill him and they did. My two cents that why should we give hia death more importance than any killing in Sudan, Palestine and Yemen?

    12. he positioned himself with the side of hate. If he had asked me specifically, I would have told him being kind would be better for his life expectancy. It's common sense. But he made his money though hate. Probably shouldn't be surprised that the hate he fostered ended up killing him.

You seem to hate Trump, Vance and Kirk so I don't really think you preach what you say like many others laughing about Charlie's death! He championed all the liberals in their non sense and thats why he paid the price he did! The truth is the truth and a lie is a lie!
