Though we do not yet know for sure, it seems self-evident that Charlie Kirk, though not a politician, was almost certainly killed for political reasons based solely on things that he said. Despite copy-pasta denunciations of violence from top Democrats, many liberals online were euphoric. “On social media,” one New York Times article reluctantly admitted in a rare moment of candor, “it was easy to find left-wing posters reveling in Mr. Kirk’s death and suggesting he got what he deserved.”
It was also easy to find evidence of twisted liberal joy right at the scene of the crime. At least one video shows a bearded young man at the scene joyfully celebrating Kirk’s murder seconds after the shooting. On corporate media, an older MSNBC anchor, grinning like a painted clown, blamed Charlie’s shooting on his “hateful thoughts” (the anchor was promptly fired, but still). Gleeful BlueSkyers are busy nominating the next target, suggesting names like JK Rowling, Matt Walsh, President Trump, Ben Shapiro, Libs of TikTok, Elon Musk, and Andy Ngo.
It bears repeating: Charlie wasn’t an elected official. He was assassinated for his beliefs, not any political office.
Though we do not yet know who killed Charlie, we can nevertheless find a cause. The only logical conclusion is stark, troubling— and clarifying: many “easy-to-find left-wing posters” believe that murder is justified as a response to unwanted speech. ...
Charlie Kirk was a goofy giant. He claimed to be 6’5”, but I think he was understating it. He seemed taller and bigger than life. But of all else: gentle. There was no menace at all in his vast physical presence. His default expression was the silly, welcoming smile of an excited puppy. ...
There can be no doubt that a shockingly large number of Democrats want to murder Republicans with whom they disagree. That’s kind of a problem.
Targeting Charlie Kirk was also a huge mistake. His death signals that the time for talking seems to have passed. They killed the guy whose mantra was, “let's talk about it.” So … where do we go from here? Are we supposed to now also say, “let's talk about it?" ...
After the bombing of Pearl Harbor, Japanese Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto is said to have warned, “I fear all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve.”
Yamamoto’s quote perfectly captures how I feel this morning: I feel a sense of terrible resolve. It’s not yet clear what we must resolve to do, but it is clear we must resolve to do something. Talking isn’t working.
Luigi Mangina was openly celebrated right here on p.net.
What exactly is it?
Shooter left a bolt action rifle on the rooftop perch over 130 yards from the target, with a towel wrapped around it. Shooter could have wiped the rifle after the single shot, then scooted. Didn't take a second shot, and therefore didn't stay long enough to confirm the kill. They say they have good video of the shooter entering the area, but the perp is still loose.
Not left on the roof but dropped in the wooded area behind the bldg.
There are a thousand movies with Nazi villains, but strangely few with communist villains even though communists killed far more people.
Way back in the mid 1980s, I had a brief one on one conversation with a high up in a well known Jewish organization. I respectfully asked him for permission to ask him a question. When he agreed, I asked him why it is that, with Nazism on the trash heap of history, and knowing that International Communism has murdered up to 100 million people and that Communism still exists as a very viable threat, why is it that influential Jewish leaders seemingly ignore the dangers of Communism, while continuing to emphasize the dangers of the dead movement of Nazism?
His answer was not what I expected. Very bluntly, he told me that "we understand that Communism will eventually win and we want to be on the winning side!" I was left speechless, and although that conversation took place 40+ years ago, I have never forgotten the shock that I felt when I heard his alarming statement.
And Charlie Kirk's killer no doubt was motivated by those movies and TV.

Stop calling everyone you disagree with Nazis. There’s a real world out there, and your words can make people pick up guns.
In the 1980s, there weren't Communist villains on TV and in the Movies?

The constant diet of the words "racist" and "Nazi" in the media causing malnourished mental habits?
Fear that their kumbaya dream was always unattainable?
Fear that the truth will make them look bad?
