I'm sorry for the typos. I was and am wrecked by this news. It feels surreal to me. The reason I am cautious about blame is that I've seen too many times when we jump to conclusions about who might have done it and we don't know. Like it could be someone whose wife left him and he was suicidal. I think it's 95% an angry Democrat but I hold out for that 5%.

So DGMW but Please look more closely at the thousands who are CELEBRATING the COLD BLOODED MURDER of Charlie Kirk.

"To their credit, the Democrats were doing the right thing on social media by condemning the violence".

DON'T GIVE THESE HYPOCRITES ANY "CREDIT".

They are part of the reason Charlie was MURDERED.

I'll answer this question in good faith - although it's not a good faith question.

with ALL due respect. Nobody outside of Minnesota knows who Melissa Hortman is, what they stood for outside of being Dems, or what they even looked like before their obituary photos were posted. While undoubtably a condemnable tragedy it's not on the level of a Charlie Kirk, who was well on his way to becoming one of the "Great Men" of American society.

Charlie is now both a Christian and political martyr. I am also wrecked by this news. The United States is going to change in many ways after this... some ways we expect and some ways we don't expect. It is clear the cult of the left has many acolytes willing to act on the calls from their leaders and members for violence against conservatives... no one should ever discount that fact going forward (frankly, it was obvious before Charlie's martyrdom, but NO ONE can ignore it now). Anyone swimming against that tide of left cult evil has to be prepared to confront it in ways appropriate for any/all the many ways that evil might present itself.

You really got me with the prayer bit. Regardless of faith or who anyone prays to, there is at a minimum internal healing and comfort as a result. I haven’t spent much time in a church in my adult life, but I’ve prayed daily for 25+years. There’s comfort and strength in that regardless of who grants it. I hope someone is listening on the other side, but if nobody is, I’m not hurting anyone by doing it. This has been a hard day, but the sun will rise tomorrow, and I pray as a nation, a world, and more importantly as fellow humans we can stop the hate from flowing.

Baloney. Right wing lies. Boelter who impersonated a police officer to carry out the murders and went to several homes in an SUV made to look like those used by law enforcement. Boelter voted in the March 2024 Minn. Republican presidential primary and friends say he attended Trump rallies. The suspect had been reappointed by Walz to a Minn workforce council, leading people to claim he is a democrat, but people are appointed to this council based on industry representation, not on party affiliation. Friends say Boelter held deeply religious and politically conservative views, and strongly opposed abortion, according to interviews with Boelter’s roommate and videos of his sermons posted online. It appears that he was targeting abortion rights advocates as well as potentially targeting protesters at today's No Kings rally.

What I’m struck by is this crazy level of violence will not result in minds being changed. Nobody will wake up in the morning and proclaim they “have seen the light” one way or another. I pray for his family, I pray for those of us that are so angry because of this, and mostly I pray for our country.

Charlie attempted to have a rational debate with a side the knows neither ration or debate. They live and feed off of pure rage, which they download each morning from MSNBC, NPR, etc. "Today, you must hate this!"

It never occurs to them to ask "Why?"

That wasn't the point. The point is to make the next speaker reconsider.

Your are right but there will be a next speaker! We all know it.

Charlie’s faith and honesty changed infinitely more lives and minds than any act of violence ever could. Regardless of political affiliations, he was an inspiration for an entire generation.

Never doubt the war between good and evil

Satan’s work

This is what I wrote to my friends that were suffering with all of us who have a soul

My only thought is that the young people who watched him on the college campuses, and the people who went to his talks in places where he was not welcomed, they I think will be affected by this brutal massacre of someone who is just trying to have a rational discussion

I think also that things that happen to you in college are a lot more immense in the whole scheme of things that they do affect you

You form a more permanent personality, and hopefully some character

And that’s where I think this will be more remembered, and those people young adults will move forward in their life with a lot more empathy, and hopefully wisdom to realize that a life does have a meaning and that they were fortunate to have had these contacts with Charlie and the cause is more important and the future is more important

And that a sniper can’t stop what is most important

There is a video of a man being handcuffed. The man said something like he can remain silent.

I have watched a lot of videos of Charlie's. He was so spot on with facts and history it was amazing.

At one time, Charlie came to speak at a college in our city. He was trying to be chased out. Charlie said, "I PAID to be here and I'm staying."

I'm in shock. 😭😭😭💔💔

Too soon to tell of course, but I wouldn't leave out the possibility of CIA involvement yet again. Not as a hit to Charlie personally or even to MAGA, but to Trump. He's fucking with the intel community like never before and they don't get mad, they get even.

If they do find the shooter, watch him turn out to be another patsy and not just some random deranged SSRI brain drenched Leftist.

They better not try to tell me this was some random crazy guy. I didn’t believe it the first time and I sure as hell won’t buy it now.

Thanks, but I hope I'm wrong. It's much more comforting to accept a random lunatic than (yet another) government instituted murder of an American citizen.
