  • 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.

They are those who hate Charlie Kirk as exitbed in vandalizing his memorials. And the ones who have exhibited the most hatred for Charlie Kirk are liberal leftists.
Right, since it couldn't anyone else but “liberal leftists”.

What "backfired"?
My guess is the plot to silence whatever message Kirk was promulgating. Those sneaky leftists wanted him dead because he told truth.

About as outlandish as the suggestion that the rightists killed Kirk to boost his message.

It’s a high profile killing of a speaker with a platform in America. It either another day with a ‘y’ in it or such a rare statistical event that nothing will be done about it.

To quote Joe Haldeman “You pays your money and takes your frame of reference”.

The problem with that analysis is there's been thousands of posts all over the internet from those on the left, saying how glad they are that Charlie Kirk is dead because they don't like the message he was promulgating.

Except for the right-winger who shot him.
That's completely contrary to established facts.

I like this photo the left was using to prove Robinson is a Trump supporter. When in fact it's a derogatory effigy of Trump depicting Robinson riding him like a donkey.

How does that prove he's not a right winger? Or are you saying that ALL right wingers by definition like Trump? Sounds like a very very binary worldview there.

No, it was being used to prove he was a Trump supporter. In other words things are being made up to make him look like a republican right-winger Trump supporter et al.

The left wasn't using this photo, they were quoting his family and right-wing leanings.

There is far too much guessing on this subject. If someone wants to write posts implying a "backfiring" then they need to be explicit about who's plan backfired and what that plan was. All we seem to have is some terminally online person who is deep into internet "culture" of some sort.
About as outlandish as the suggestion that the rightists killed Kirk to boost his message.
A lot of these terminally online people have rather incoherent "ideologies" as the clues left behind by them are a weird mixture of things. (Many of the school shooters, but not apparently in this case, the "clues" they leave behind refer to prior mass shootings of various motivations. It's a real mess.) Frankly all of thee "ideologies" and "plans" are quite outlandish. And that's true if he was trying to trigger a RW backlash, or destroy the right, or whatever. The thread seems to imply that it was careful plot by "the left" to put an end RW voices.
It’s a high profile killing of a speaker with a platform in America. It either another day with a ‘y’ in it or such a rare statistical event that nothing will be done about it.

This incident also has some resemblance to the "disgruntled fan" outlash (though such incidents seem to be more intimate and emotional, rather than emotionally detached sniper shootings). Kirk certainly had a celebrity aspect to him.

It's not a negative though when one reads law enforcement reports of what's been found out about Robinson.
By all means, cite your sources for the claim it is a "liberal leftists".

(One wonders what an illiberal leftist looks like)

It'll be interesting to see how much of that holds up after the investigation is completed. Apparently Robinson was quite active online and quite social too. So there's a lot there to supply a lot of information about him.

Aside from the probably cause document, have any "law enforcement reports" been released? All I've seen are things filtered through Kash Patel and Spencer Cox, neither of whom I trust to be perfectly reliable.

Occam's razor. Who else besides liberal leftists is likely to be.

It's a matter of what their social media content looks like.
