  • 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.

Charlie Kirk's Opinions Didn't Deserve Him Being Murdered. Would You or a Loved One Want to Be Murdered for Your Opinions Someone Disagreed With ‍♀️

Before Charlie Kirk was murdered I didn't follow him.
I still don't follow stuff connected to him, but just like most, since he was murdered more of his stuff is coming across the news feed, which is expected.
If it's a snippet, I try to find the whole video of what he's talking about for context. Before his death, I would see snippets of what he said in my feed sometimes, but they were usually out of context.
After his death, some have been sharing some of CK's points he'd make, but in context.
Sadly it seems some are going by the sound bites, snippets that have been out for awhile of him speaking with another. Which I think is unfair after hearing in context things he actually said. It's easy to twist out of context things to mean whatever we want.

Question: For those who didn't agree with Kirk on much, what is it that he said that rubs you wrong?
If you have a link to the full context of the things you disagreed with him on, as in a video/article, that would help for proof.

I'd rather stick with your headline: his opinions didn't deserve him being murdered.

I didn't follow his radio show or his YouTube stuff. News sources have told me that he was a conservative political activist, and I'm pretty liberal, so I assume there are things he and I disagreed about. There might be a future time when I go through his YouTube archive and catalogue some of those disagreements. But right now, a human being is dead who shouldn't be dead.
