    Look at the mocking and derision in the leftist comments here.

    Go see them on Youtube, twitter or Reddit.

    The large majority are absolutely celebratory and vile.

    I have not mocked Kirk's death. The only thing I posted was
    @basso posting a tweet saying that somehow Democrat violence lead to Kirk's death... is exactly the type of conduct which enflames the national temperature.

    This is where we are. It has all been by design. They won. We are cooked. I fear the best way forward is for us to pull a Czechoslovakia. Let's dissolve the union and have each state declare independence and start over.

    Free speech and ‘assassination culture’
    Charlie Kirk, 1993-2025

    September 10, 2025 at 7:21 p.m. EDT
    Today at 7:21 p.m. EDT

    Months before Charlie Kirk was shot and killed, the conservative activist warned about the spread of “assassination culture.” He cited the attempt on President Donald Trump’s life, as well as the killing of a health care CEO. And now it seems all too likely that he himself became a victim of that violent fervor while speaking on Wednesday at Utah Valley University.

    The 31-year-old, a husband and a father of two, founded the conservative youth organization Turning Point USA in 2012. Over time, he developed a massive following online and traveled frequently to college campuses — preaching to the choir while also relishing debate with his many detractors. That sort of dialogue is what universities are supposed to foster, and shooting someone for what they have to say is among the most un-American and evil acts that anyone can perpetrate.

    Utah Gov. Spencer Cox (R) described Kirk’s killing as a “political assassination.” The perpetrators of such shootings are often motivated by a mixture of mental illness and radical politics, and we don’t yet know what drove Kirk’s killer. But political violence has become disturbingly common in the United States.

    Elected officials in Minnesota were horrifically assassinated at their homes in June. Trump came inches from being assassinated during a rally last summer in Butler, Pennsylvania. Then, last September, another armed madman was caught lying in wait for him. (That suspect is on trial for attempted murder this week.) Rep. Steve Scalise (R-Louisiana) almost died when a left-wing radical shot up the congressional Republican baseball practice in 2017.

    Too often, partisans appear eager to blame their opponents after any heinous attack — rather than straightforwardly condemning it. Studies suggest that strong public denunciations of violence from elected leaders help strengthen norms against it.

    The overwhelming majority of prominent Democrats forcefully and promptly condemned the killing of Kirk, including New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani and California Gov. Gavin Newsom, who hosted Kirk on his podcast six months ago. Former president Barack Obama said that “this kind of despicable violence has no place in our democracy.” Though Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker (D) decried the violence, he couldn’t help himself from taking a dig at Trump. “I think the president’s rhetoric often foments it,” he said, a disgracefully ill-timed comment.

    Witnesses describe lax security at the event in Utah, but why should heavy security have been needed? Kirk had every right to expect that he could make his comments without fearing for his safety.

    The Utah event was supposed to be the first in a series of university visits this fall as part of Kirk’s American Comeback Tour. His voice might be gone, but his millions of fans will make sure his message is never silenced.

    This was the logical end of the left's war on speech.

    Killing Kirk was the ultimate act of censorship, which was the killer's intent.

    Dont play into the games of the elite. They fanned racial wars with Charlotte stabbing (which was uncalled for obviously) and doing now across party lines. Meanwhile Epstein files still loom large, Israel is attacking our second greatest ally in the ME and proving they answer to no one, and Poland/Russia are about to break out in war.

    because they force that stuff on us, and then lash at us when we disagree

    snoop dogg and all the libs were worshipping him until he said he disagreed with his grandkids seeing the lgbt stuff in a disney movie.. which is fair, there should be some kind of warning to parents on films that include that rhetoric

    everything goes to crap with the left in power. ESPN hasnt been the same since disney took over. All perkins, ryan clark, and the rest over do is play the race card every single time. They fired rg3 and jay williams because they are ex-players in the nba/nfl who can outdebate any of their white analyst there at that network without the race card. Leftist dont like smart black men, i dont care what they tell you. They will hire a stephen jackson but pair him with the slighty more intelligent.. LIGHTER skinned MATT BARNES.. Disney uses colorism as a tool to cause division, remmeber when broussard was saying way back on espn that nba players hated steph curry cause of his skintone, when it was the media giving him all the mvps. While the same media was slandering harden and actively looking for reasons to not for him for anything
