  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Poor taste.
Seeking reliable news from a direct source and not word-of-mouth from somebody who gets details wrong regarding the death of somebody by assassination is in poor taste…? On what planet?

I saw video of the shot, I don't see how he could have survived that.
I didn’t but it sounded like a carotid injury and internal decap by ballistic force… I just wanted to know for sure and certain he had passed. I feel awful for his family.

And about 100,000 angry specks of hate that that just got 10 times angrier.

If the shooter was a Dem, sure.

It'll be a net-move in the wrong direction.

Remember how we all talk about how trying to intervene with force in other parts of the world just creates more extremists?

It still baffles me that people don't seem to connect the dots and realize that the same concept also applies domestically as well.
I agree. And I don't condone any of this. But Charlie Kirk made a lot of money for his part in stirring this pot.

We said the Kaddish on his behalf. It‘s a mourner’s prayer. May his soul rest in peace. :purpleheart:

I am registered a Democrat and will never again vote for another Democrat. Elitest who if they don't get their way, they promote killing those that oppose them. If you are a Democrat politician I recommend you change to a different party because nobody (I hope) will vote for your party again. My prayers (and there is a God who hears them and responds to them in His ever so wise way) are with Charlie Kirks family and Charlie Kirk. God bless you forever and ever.

And toning down the rhetoric, ain't happening buddy so don't wait for it.

Indeed. Not very kind.
I wasn’t trying to be unkind, I was looking for a non-hearsay, non-secondhand statement… If somebody on Twitter said “blank has died,” I’d go to verify it. I’m simply seeking to verify the information, which was verified, and gave my condolences.

Ok. My fault. I obviously misunderstood your original post.

Take care.

Facts don't care about your feelings.
You're referencing the wrong conservative pundit, that's Ben Shapiro's catch phrase.

Crowder was the "change my mind" guy, and Kirk's catch phrase was "prove me wrong"

This isn’t about right or left. A 31 year old man just lost his life. His wife is widowed and his children are fatherless and orphans by the bible’s standards. Can we please set aside our finger-pointing for a moment?

And while you do pray for the three teens who were shot at a high school as we speak. This is a terrible day for the innocent.

Yeah, I referenced exactly who I wanted to. Don't know why you think I got it wrong. I certainly didn't say "As Charlie Kirk famously quoted "facts don't care about your feelings!" did I?

Sadly, I am not shocked that another conservative and a great Christian has been shot by a radical lunatic. Please pray for Charlie Kirk.
A radical lunatic? But we don’t know yet who or why, so that seems a bit premature.

Amen. I agree. Just said the enteral rest prayer for him. May God comfort those who mourn and raise up the fallen. Amen.

I watched the close up video, there's very little chance of him being alive.

Remember when a far right extremist dressed up as a cop and shot 4 democratic politicians in Minnesota and everybody collectively forgot a week later? This will not go that way.
Can't wait for the inevitable 26 threads about the violent rhetoric coming from the left.
That's like saying I can't wait for all the threads about the sun rising in the east because the sun always rises in the east.
