America really is a mental country.
Who would genuinely believe that someone should be assassinated for holding different political views. Honestly feels like a low point.

I had never heard of the guy before. Spent a couple of minutes reading some of his views and some of the things that he`s been quoted as saying, and it seems I`ve not missed out on much, comes across as a bit of a dick. I`m of the opinion that words are only words, nothing anyone says can offend or hurt me, but I do see that some people can get really uptight about words, and so coming out with some of the nonsense he spouted, in a country so full of gun-toting crazy folk as America, is a bit like putting a target on yourself.
At the end of the day no one should be killed for speaking, but on the other hand, actual nice people are getting killed for no reason at all as well.
On balance, looks like he was simply asking for it, and it`s no great loss anyway

I unfortunately came upon the video by mistake and it is not good viewing.
I’ll be honest I didn’t even know him from Captain Kirk but I really am flummoxed by the American way of thinking about gun laws endorsed (through research) by Charlie Kirk and many many others.
For those of us who went through Dunblane, it is incomprehensible why they still think they have the right to bear arms 200 plus years after the Declaration of Independence

There was a school shooting in Colorado Wednesday afternoon. But to people like Charlie Kirk - I’d never heard of him - deaths from guns was just a reminder of their right to bear arms. Absolute sickos the lot of them.

Honestly, you’ve got to be some kind of low life to come onto a thread about someone you apparently know nothing about only to call him names and say he was asking for it after he was murdered in front of his daughters.

You said “America is a mental country”, that’s an insult right there.
Plus you seem to be assuming the reason behind the shooting, despite the media not having the slightest clue about the person who carried out this murder.
Why is it right against left?
Shouldn’t it be - why are people allowed to carry guns and people with serious mental health disorders buying guns, despite their laws?
There are lots of people like this man openly stating that some gun deaths per year is acceptable (!) to protect their right to bear arms.
FWIW I don’t agree with what RSP has posted but he regularly writes stuff to be controversial.
