  • 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.

If we look at the examples from the Left leaning, when someone is killed who fits their narrative, they usually burn, destroy, hate, kill, loot, riot, violence, etc. in various areas across the country.
Charlie Kirk was murdered by one of the Left leaning. Now that murderer is being defended by some on the Left.
But how did the Right leaning handle one of their own being killed by a Left leaner?
Since Kirk's murder have they went out and burned, destroyed, looted, rioted and done violence, etc across the country?
If so, please share video of Kirk defenders doing so, because I haven't seen any rioting by the Right leaning so far since Kirk was murdererd.

Wrong. The left will protest all these senseless killings but they are overwhelmingly peaceful. The right ignores all of the peaceful protests and grasps onto those that turn violent and condemn the whole.

The Democrats condemn the violence but praise the peaceful.

Almost no one defends the murder of Kirk on the left or middle. Democrats have joined with Republicans in condemning this murder and all political violence.
But how did the Right leaning handle one of their own being killed by a Left leaner?
Do you understand what right or left leaning means? Charlie Kirk was not a right leaning Conservative. He was not a far right Conservative either but he was fully Conservative.

No

Things have been relatively peaceful.

No

Wrong.
Mostly wrong.
Yes I do understand. You don't.
The one thing you got right so far.
Yes, unlike from the Left leaning.

The shooter was apolitical. Erika Kirk forgives the shooter. It's wrong to use this tragedy to point fingers and cause divisiveness.

Can you please stop?

You are right to be angry at the murder. The murder of Mr. Kirk was terribly, terribly wrong. Be angry. But can you express this anger without repeatedly insulting those of us who are on the political and social left?

I do commend the members of Turning Point USA and Mr. Kirk's other supporters for their restraint in this time. I agree that I have not seen violence in retaliation, even though you lost someone who was very important to you.

It'd help you if you could back up your wild claims with facts.

It's not "wild claims" but it is facts. Of which no Left leaner has yet to prove otherwise.

If we look at the examples from the Left leaning, when someone is killed who fits their narrative, they usually burn, destroy, hate, kill, loot, riot, violence, etc. in various areas across the country.
One example...months of riots during the summer of 2020.

Charlie Kirk was murdered by one of the Left leaning. Now that murderer is being defended by some on the Left.
His own family and friends have said he leaned Left politically. I trust them more than Left leaning deniers online

But how did the Right leaning handle one of their own being killed by a Left leaner?
Since Kirk's murder have they went out and burned, destroyed, looted, rioted and done violence, etc across the country?

None of that happened from the Right.

I think there is a difference between people who lean left, vs people who are far left. I wouldn't consider the shooter "leaning" left by any standard based on the evidence I've seen and would put him more toward the far left instead. No matter if its far left or far right, both have a history of doing bad things. But also there is evidence that FBI agents instigated riots on both sides, so I'm not fully convinced that a lot of these riots/instances regardless of what side you're on, isn't just people trying to push for a civil war.

These aren't facts above. It's pure conjecture based in vacuous content. Who was killed that "fits their narrative"?
Charlie Kirk was murdered by one of the Left leaning.
Robinson more likely killed Kirk because he was having a relationship with a trans. And by the way you can lean left and still be on the right.
Now that murderer is being defended by some on the Left.
His own family and friends have said he leaned Left politically. I trust them more than Left leaning deniers online

But how did the Right leaning handle one of their own being killed by a Left leaner?

In a left/right dichotomy you need to fill in the blanks with substantive and valid opposing subjective views that represent valid issues in the interests of good policy. Otherwise, it's not analytical.

Wouldn't it be dumb for the blank meaning you call "The right" to riot and protest the killing of Charlie Kirk by some 22-year-old kid who didn't like Kirk's anti-trans stance? What could it hope to accomplish? It's not like Kirk was murdered by police. It's not like the guy isn't in custody.

I’m so sick of reading about ”the Left” vs “the Right”. People are people.

Two questions:
1) Why do you think the shooter belongs on the far left?
2) Couldn't it be that this guy Robinson murdered Charlie Kirk simply because of the circumstance that he was in a relationship with a trans?

Well that begs the question...why are you in a group that talks about politics and the Left and Right a lot?
Of course "people are people", but their political beliefs/leanings shows something about them.

The fact he was in a relationship with a trans person, what he wrote on bullet casings, and what his friends and family have said and described him saying he was getting way more political and enraged if you were against his leftist views and would be openly hostile as well as the action of political assassination itself. That doesn't sound like someone just "leaning" left.

What is the left leaning's narrative? A black man is murdered by police and they protest. The fact is that very few of the protests turned violent but you want to condemn the peaceful protests because a small percentage turned violent. That's your narrative.

The facts are that over 95% of the protests caused no damage or injuries.
Charlie Kirk was murdered by one of the Left leaning. Now that murderer is being defended by some on the Left.
His own family and friends have said he leaned Left politically. I trust them more than Left leaning deniers online
The family said that he was left leaning. His friends said that he wasn't political. Left leaning means that he was a moderate, not a liberal.
But how did the Right leaning handle one of their own being killed by a Left leaner?
Since Kirk's murder have they went out and burned, destroyed, looted, rioted and done violence, etc across the country?

None of that happened from the Right.
I agreed. Most of the violence caused by the right comes from the far right not the right leaning. Just like the J6ers, the far right pushed those that wouldn't normally turn violent into a violent mob. The right leaning condemned the J6ers.
If so, please share video of Kirk defenders doing so, because I haven't seen any rioting by the Right leaning so far since Kirk was murdered.LM.
Kirk isn't right leaning but no violence has went further than speech.

The BLM protests were because one person was murdered. They were a response to many murders over many years. We haven't seen a violent protest in several years by B

You all can't share videos of them doing that.
I never said that they did

Still waiting for the left to protest the senseless killing of Charlie Kirk.

Not expecting anyone to be holding their breath waiting for the conservatives to burn down cities in protest of Kirk's murder
Almost no one defends the murder of Kirk on the left or middle.
no one celebrated the death of George Floyd,, that did not stop the riots.

They are SO quick when there's a hint of a Right leaner doing something wrong with less proof than there is about the Kirk murderer, but they jump on it and hold it tight.
But when it's one of their own who has done the wrong, they are SO quick to keep running away from it with their fingers in their ears. Some of them will always be deniers. A weak people they are.
