The examples of the Left’s frequent recourse to terror, mayhem, and death abound. There is formally extralegal violence, which includes the murder of Kirk, the transgender killers of small children, the deliberate creation of insecure common spaces in which assaults and deaths occur, the murders of Jews in public, shooters targeting conservative organizations, and the various attempts to kill conservative presidents, Supreme Court justices, and congressmen. There is also regime-sanctioned mass violence—most significantly the Black Lives Matter insurrection during the summer of 2020. Additionally, there are varieties of formal and networked repression, from government-imposed pandemic restrictions and iniquitous racial/ethnic preferentialism to societally enforced cancel culture and speech codes.

It is worth noting that this is not especially incisive or contrarian analysis: everyone knows it. Everyone knows that the Left is the violent faction in American public life today. Everyone knows that shop windows were boarded up in November 2020 out of fear of the Left’s reaction to the election, not the Right’s. Everyone knows there is no threat to public order in response to the murder of Charlie Kirk as there was after the death of George Floyd. Everyone knows that a gathering of pro-Palestinians carries with it a high potential for violence, but a gathering of pro-Israel partisans does not. Everyone knows there is a national network of street fighters on the Left, not on the Right. Everyone knows that colleges have to worry about security for conservative events, not leftist ones.

Everyone knows

And the thought this is the “fringe”, that lie was destroyed this week. This murder was celebrated on social media by nurses, soldiers, healthcare professionals, government workers, professors and teachers.

Political violence and murder are an endorsed democrat mainstream view now. Pathetic little people…just pathetic

So much BS here hard to know where to start.
Charlie Kirk’s violent rhetoric toward transgender people was not an aberration—it was his brand. He preached hate and violence as a matter of routine. In another interview, he mocked Christians who followed scripture about loving their neighbor, scoffing that God also “calls for the stoning of gay people,” which he described as “God’s perfect law.” This was not a slip of the tongue. Hate was and continued to be central to his message. So when people invoke Kirk’s “work” and urge us to carry it forward, when they valorize him as some open-minded political figure, this is what they are valorizing: praising violence, contempt for human dignity, and the politics of fear dressed up as principle.

Chico I like how you ignored the political violence when the reps in Minnesota were gunned down and then you ignored the right wing nut violence in Charlottesville VA and of course Jan 6th Insurrection. Freedom of Speech is the right of every American but there has always been limits, you can't scream fire in a movie theater is always the example but you can't libel and there is a restriction on hate speech as well you can't build gallows in front of the Nations Capitol and threaten to kill the VP( yes the Right did that). Kirks death was horrific and to celebrate and assignation is sick. I have lived through too many to ever do that, your ignorance to political violence is staggering. Like many on the right you never had this type of response to school shootings but the moral outrage now is almost funny. Murder in all forms is wrong and shouldn't need to be said people commenting on a man who made his living attacking other Americans and their way of life becuase he didn't like it, was taking chances . As Matty said he lived by his own rhetoric and he died by it, that's not celebrating it, that is an honest opinion and evaluation of what happen to him. People , Teachers , Firemen , Secret Service employees etc. have free speech too and can voice their opinions and should be able to without retribution . Many of those terminated will be in court. It's you that should be ashamed of this incident and the hate that the right has caused in this Country under trump a president who has endorsed his political party to be violent and they have embraced it.
