    Conservative activist and Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk has died following an assassination at an event on the campus of Utah Valley University ...... I listen to him fairly often ... very smart with conservative values and would always take it to the heart of these liberal universities ... he helped register tens of thousands of GOP voters on campuses ... RIP Charlie ..

    Did you hear one of them say, "we dont know yet it could be one of his supporters shooting off a gun for support..."

    I hate those people. I really do. And I dont like even thinking like that at all. Liars and conmen...can't stand anyone who purposely deceives and gaslights others. The worst quality of a human.

    I know I should probably stay out of this conversation and I know it would be wise for me to stay out of this conversation, but I can't. The assassination of this Godly, decent, intelligent and morally upright young American has me thoroughly pissed. Reading the comments from left-wing nut jobs on social media saying they were glad he was dead and laughing about it has me fighting mad.

    What is it with the liberals in this country promoting violence against anyone they don't agree with? Even liberal Senators and Congressmen have called for violence when they don't get their way. How many times is this now that liberal nut jobs have shot at or killed Conservative leaders? When Trump was shot at liberals commented "Too bad he missed." What kind of mental illness results in this warped mental state?

    There is an old saying that says "There is nothing new under the sun." It's kind of accurate. This is nothing new. It's not the first time Democrats have assassinated someone they didn't agree with. I'm not a history major, but I believe Abraham Lincoln was the first. There is almost a battle cry from the left wanting influential conservatives dead. They missed with President Trump. They succeeded with Charlie Kirk.

    There was another time in the not too distant past where people assassinated people who didn't agree with them or made them disappear. It was in the late 1930's in Germany. I've seen so may people on the left claim that MAGA conservatives are like Nazis. At least we conservatives don't kill someone because they don't agree with us. Now tell me, which group behaves like Nazis? Conservatives who try to use reason and beneficial change to improve the plight of the American People or Liberals who loot, riot, call for violence and assassinate those they don't agree with?

    My nephew made a post on Facebook about this saying this:
    I couldn't agree with my nephew more. I'll even take it one step further and say (this is why I should have stayed quiet) that I wish they would light the stupid fuse and get the show on the road while I'm still physically able to fight. I took an oath to defend this country against all enemies, foreign and DOMESTIC. I may be retired, but that oath still holds firm, and this country is most definitely under attack.

    I work nights and ever since I woke up and saw the news about Charlie Kirk I have been floored. I have never went out of my way to listen to him and even pulling his name out of my brain before today would have been difficult, but seeing the clips of his debates and the way he chose to do them you couldn’t help but respect him. I didn’t agree with everything he said, but I have never met a person I do tbh. I have been struggling with why this one floors me when all the school shootings and everything else that has happened in my 37 years hasn’t in this way. Why this one? Why this man that I probably wouldn’t have noticed if I was walking down the street? I think I have figured it out. This was a blatant attack on the first amendment of the constitution. Rule #1. This was an act of war even if it’s not gona be said enough. People will (and are) try to make it about the second amendment but this is rule one. Charlie was sitting down and sharing his views with the upcoming youth of this nation and making a difference and someone killed him for it. Never in my life have I truly felt that things like football and hunting seasons may end before my life has ended but I find myself wondering what life could look like before my time has passed.


    I never make posts like this and have been contemplating putting something on facebook and wanted to do a test run here first to let it air out and how I felt in a couple hours. I needed to vent.

    When is this from? Was stated a bit ago the suspect(2nd one) that was being held had been released. The first one they had booked for disorderly conduct or obstruction, but was released after and stated not to have been involved.

    I haven't watched the news in weeks until tonight.

    It has become plain and obvious to me anymore. The liberal left cannot debate, they cannot reason the logic to their viewpoints. They cannot justify their beliefs as they truly have none. They aimlessly object to anything conservative values stand for, and when they feel they are on the losing end they resort to violence and destruction. They celebrate it, they push mental illness as normalcy and you are xenophopic, homophobic, fascist, nazi... enter derogatory adjective here, if you call them out for it.

    Then their leaderhip deny it happens citing it's not what it seems. They cannot denounce it, they cannot admit to it as they fear losing their base.

    Leftists...means to their desired end means nothing, only the end. They will do and say anything to gaslight logic, manipulate, and lie...even when the facts are known.
