I usually disagree with him, LOL. We've had our moments. But I agree that its not a MLK level event. Everyone has an opinion and I'm not even sure why that opinion provoked so much emotion.

Post of the week.
Aside from this video, I just gotta say...
What the fuck boys. I respect each and every one of you. Some, I'd blow an elephant if you asked me too, others, not so much, I still respect you though.
That said, we in fighting is the wrong answer, we are not the fucking demonic savages. They are out there but we ain't it.
I know, I've been here a min, I'm not SOF, I'm just a fucking retarded former Paratrooper/medic turned ghetto paramedic, I don't have a green tag under my name but I think, all opinions matter without folks getting asshurt, right or am I wrong?
I gotta be honest.
We are better than attacks on each other. I feel like this is my in laws fucking with each other and it pisses me off.
I love most of you here like blood, you've been there for me, physically, others, ehhh, I can give a fuck but I still listen to what you have to say because that's what adults with morales do.
I don't know, am I wrong homies?
We are on the same fucking team. Politics suck. Many people suck. We are surrounded by demons, spiritual warfare at its worse, maybe, we shouldn't treat each other like cocks, that's a novel solution.
I may be wrong, I may be right, this is just my opinion from a member of this community.
Love sent.

It's going to be interesting to see where this goes, but it's not particularly hard to imagine.
People suggesting this was a "professional hit" are just ignorant and the suggestion is silly. It doesn't take a particularly high degree of skill to make a ~200m shot with Mauser, especially if using glass and your target is stationary/seated, as Kirk was. And no "professional" is taking a position on am open rooftop in the middle of the day.
One thing has become clear to me, however. This was a very well coordinated and planned assassination. From the timing of the question, to the false claim of a responsibility, to the guy cheering in the crowd. There were more people than just the shooter involved...and they all kept quiet beforehand. That is very concerning.

This is part of the problem, and I will boldly say it's been made so much more prominent on the left: we have normalized violence. Not 'just' in politics, but culture too. I mean, who doesn't love them some John Wick? Wasn't there a movie called Civil War? Part of the reason I left working in the ED and EMS was I became too comfortable with it: "yeah, this kid was shot five times. But let me tell you what I brought for lunch!" It took my wife having a hard convo with me, "this isn't you, you're not 'that' guy."
Social media fuels the fire, probably more of an accelerant. Can't get away from it.
I think a lot of people are underestimating how significant this murder is.

Seeing all the celebrations online by the left over the death of Kirk shows me a problem they refuse to acknowledge: their side has grown disturbingly comfortable with violence against anyone who holds a different opinion. I’m in several writing and RPG groups that have many who lean left, and the amount of praising and justifying by younger left members was a shocking reality of how far things have fallen. What unsettles me most is that they see nothing wrong with it “the man said mean things, so he deserved to be killed.” They will gladly use the First Amendment to condemn conservatives and speak out against anything Trump does, but when it comes time for the other side to exercise the same right to free speech, suddenly “words are violence.” As always, rules for thee, not for me.
Like I said. Demonic savages are surrounding us. We must be vigilant.
Well, hopefully with this administration, they fire this POS.
