Lotta guns up there eh?



Saw this coming. Not good. Not good at all.

Yeah not good.

He paid a nice tribute to Kirk and had some warm words for his family as you would expect.

As part of his address the nation he should be prioritising the safety of all citizens by dialling down the temperature and giving a message of unity instead of name checking the radical left before the shooter has even been caught, identified and assessed. Very unfortunate.

Yes there is still plenty

Leadership is needed. Unfortunately it's just another "win" in the culture wars

When the sectarian violence is brought to your shores, don't tell anyone you weren't warned.

The cake is baked. We are about to see how deep the pit can go.

24 years later and we keep pushing the limits downward.

It all fairness it wasn't that long ago you were basically saying the UK was a third world country and America was awesome.

America was warned and you need to get your own house in order.

Don't worry. Mean tweets are a small problem moving forward.

You come out with some bizarre stuff sometimes

I have no words of how incredibly disgraceful this comment is...

As said above, I didnt know Kirk, wasnt a fan, and his death won't have a profound effect on me, but to search out a 7 second clip to use against a man who just got killed, with a hope of promoting others to revel in your celebration is scumbaggery at its finest.

This is what I mean when I say people on thos thread are being radicalised!

 

[dirty harry]

Disliked Kirk and disagreed with most of what he said and stood for, but no way should it have happened.

Part of me has my conspiracy hat on and thinks it could be (like the Trump shooting IMO) to further fuel tension and push towards Trumps agenda for USA.

I think that because why on earth would anyone on the Democratic side think it's appropriate.

And the likely lot will push this horrendous event to fuel more division

I don't love a conspiracy, but there is a lot of violence on both sides and radicalisation is at a premium...

I would lean to the 'never let a good tragedy go to waste' on this, but I am open minded to an Alex Jones style theory if thats what your presenting?

Ive been manic all day, any updates worth mentioning @ChicagoKid , BBC radio 1 arent exactly the hotbed of detail

Isn't that practising free speech and the right to offend as per the constitution? As distasteful as it is.

Trans shooter identified on ring doorbell cameras. They are closing in on him.

His execution will likely be public. I have never seen so many of my friends and family so angry.

People are even more upset than after Trump’s first assassination attempt.

Freedom of speech Harry

Why aren't foreigners allowed free speech in America?

Or are only Americans allowed to celebrate his death as some are.

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

Did they ban foreigners who celebrated other political assassinations?

We have had this conversation so many effing times, and you are ignorant of our laws.

I'm tired of explaining the most basic facts to people on this board.

Freedom of speech Harry

100%

People can cheer this all they want. If you are an American citizen, you can walk to the local street corner and hold up a sign valorizing the assassin.

If you aren't, you will get deported and be on the black list for the rest of your life.

How do they know the shooter is trans? Did he do it in full drag?

Banning foreigners for practicing freedom of speech like America. Whilst lecturering other countries on freedom of speech. Interesting.
