So, the left is constantly hyperventilating about “far right extremism” yet we keep seeing extreme violence from the left…..

Danno's avatar

The objective is to intimidate. They chased Ann Coulter and Milo Yiannopolous off campuses with threats and violence. This is more of the same, and it's right out of the Marxist playbook.

Brogan12's avatar

Accuse YOU of what THEY do. A pillar of the tactics the neo Marxist DEMS have always done. PROJECTION!

Deb Benedict's avatar

I saw the video of it, please don’t watch it. it’s a miracle if he survives. Terrible day. Prayers for him and his family.

Matt's avatar

I agree, horrible three seconds of video.

I can’t hate the left more than I already do.

Troll Hunter's avatar

Yeah, give it time and hopefully they'll all do themselves in with their vaccine habit ;-)

Andrew Brunner's avatar

That's what I thought until now.

Brogan12's avatar

It will be pinned on Trump too...watch the DEM playbook play out

Troll Hunter's avatar

But of course they'll pin it on Trump ;-)

Julian Simmons's avatar

That’s why we have problems

BikerChick's avatar

You hate people because of their ideology? That’s why Charlie was shot. 😞

hrhdhd's avatar

I can hate people without shooting them.

Troll Hunter's avatar

Mostly I wanna know WHY they "think" they way "they" do. We have TWO SETS OF "FACTS" regarding "The Science," and most everything else. They can't BOTH be right ;-)

We all need to pray for Charlie Kirk, even if the left don't believe prayers count. In the end the only one who has the power over life and death is God.

Maybe all Conservative speakers will need bodyguards and bulletproof protection, as the left have become unhinged.

I think he had a vest. From the video, it looks like the shot entered upper right chest area - and exited neck - carotid. Could it have ricocheted off the vest and into the neck? I missed it at first - I was in shock and didn't see the final second/s. Awful.

But why haven't these security guys gotten the message - ROOFTOPS! ROOFTOPS people! Charlie had gotten multiple death threats. Check the rooftops and get a non-ricochet vest.

SAMO's avatar

Robert - still thinking about your comments.

1. God made man with free will - so He is not the only one with the power over life and death at this time. We have it, as well - as that assassin just proved. God does not violate man's free will. He wants relationships, not robots.

2. Charlie had bodyguards and (I think) bulletproof protection. It's hard to counter every contingency. We must do better. Think smarter.

3. I saw this Psalm last night - somehow it comforted me:

Psalm 11:

In YAHUAH [the LORD] put I my trust: how say ye to my soul, Flee as a bird to your mountain?

(2) For, lo, the wicked bend their bow, they make ready their arrow upon the string, that they may privily shoot at the upright in heart.

(3) If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?

(4) The LORD is in his holy temple, the LORD's throne is in heaven: his eyes behold, his eyelids try, the children of men.

(5) the LORD trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth.

(6) Upon the wicked he shall rain snares, fire and brimstone, and an horrible tempest: this shall be the portion of their cup.

(7) For the righteous LORD loveth righteousness; his countenance doth behold the upright.

This IS where we are...and why yesterday's column should have said "SAY IT LOUDER!" There is a section of our society that is beyond sick....and the left is among them....they are pure evil.

BikerChick's avatar

You cannot blame an entire group for one psycho’s actions. C’mon y’all.

Amy's avatar

You can surmise that Democrats support despicable acts of violence, as they are the ones constantly calling for violence.

DividedUpWorld's avatar

Yes, you can, and I’ll give you the two examples:

The left and the Democrats are sociopaths and they’re more empowered to just kill people and be cheered on…

and the right and Republicans are cowards whores and avoidants, they won’t stand up to help anybody, and I doubt they’ll even help themselves in the end.

This is the GD reality of life, you have sociopaths and cowards, that’s over 80% of this population, and when you got 20 percent at best being able to survive as honest realistic humans, good luck

BikerChick's avatar

I’ll add a sentence you forgot. “In my opinion.”

DividedUpWorld's avatar

Oh, I’m sorry, I forgot to tell you that I’m a spokesman for God, you didn’t get the memo?…

Sheesh some people who comment here are total douche bags. But, this is what sites like this bring out, people whose narcissism and grandiosity does reach epic proportions. It must be nice that there are people who tell us how to comment at threads.

I vote for accountability and consequences, this is what evil is folks, and you think that just expecting God to bail you out, yeah, tell that to the hundreds of millions who have been massacred by evil creatures invariably masquerading as humans, and people waiting for God to step in…

SAMO's avatar

No.

Get back on your bike.

JD's avatar

The left has called Charlie and the rest of us NAZIS and White supremacists for years. You ARE responsible when you do that and it results in violence because you have justified it in many people’s minds. One person took the shot, but look at how many are celebrating his death… yes I can and DO blame them

Ll's avatar

Ha. When I see them celebrating…. Yeah. I can. They’re at best obtuse. At worst evil. I’ve tried to be “understanding” of both sides for decades. Watch MSNBC an CNN and I’m now done. Prove me won’t. They are poisoning our country with their hate.

SAMO's avatar

Yes I can. When the House of Representatives completely rejects a minute of silence to honor Charlie Kirk - yes - I can blame the entire group. Or did you miss that clip?

Troll Hunter's avatar

I know what you're saying, but....

SAMO's avatar

But nothin'.

A brief compilation of leftie threats against ....well... Trump and friends.

Karon Mitchell's avatar

Just said prayers for Charlie and his family.

Larry Fox's avatar

When will it be safe for conservatives to speak in public again. The age of rage seems to be the lefts only response to opposing views. Charlie is a great debater and always gave the opposition respectful non threatening space to make their point. Pray for him.

Lisa Brown's avatar

Oh my God. Lord please save Charlie Kirk.

Anthony J . Barton's avatar

Pray for Charlie Kirk and his family and pray for Israel Jerusalem 🇮🇱 and America 🇺🇸 🙏

Troll Hunter's avatar

Israel will not do the right thing. They don't even look at their own past history. I wish everyone would wake up and take a hard look at their actual behavior. Same stuff as what you all read in the Prophets-- UGH!!

JohnRobi's avatar

The DNC needs to be designated as a terrorist organization

Ohmboy's avatar

Praying for Charlie and the nation. This is all down to Schumer and Pelosi and their progeny stirring up all the lunatics with all this existential threat nonsense they so carelessly and constantly spew. Dear LORD, please heal Charlie and prevent this from escalating.

Mary Crofts's avatar

I hope people are able to recognize that the left (generalizing) solvedifferences with violence; shooting, stabbing, burning things down, killing babies.

Karon Mitchell's avatar

That’s all they have to resort to because they have no valid arguments.

Decaf's avatar

This is so senseless. Why? Why are we here? These are innocent people. So horribly upsetting.

InternalMedicineDoc's avatar

I went to the school today to pick up the kids. The kids were having a sit down on the lawn. They had all heard about this unfortunate event before I did. These were high school kids from all walks of life. Charlie Kirk is actually quite popular among high-schoolers and not all of these fans are MAGA. It has already somewhat begun, but my firm belief is if this keeps up the way it is, and the absolutely despicable takes online and OMG - MSNBC was just humiliating today, that these desperate people on the Left are going to radicalize an entire generation against them. And no I am not kidding. The wrath was palpable out on that schoolyard today. FYI - we are in a very blue area. We will keep Mr. Kirk and his entire family and his kids in our prayers tonight and this week. God Help Us All. They really are playing with fire and they have no idea the consequences they are engendering.

Thank you for a hopeful look at the next generation.
