cant type, tears
This is a devastating hit! It’s not a defeat, just a big hit. We will make Charlie Kirk proud of who he represented! RIP Charlie Kirk!
“If you prick us, do we not bleed? if you tickle us, do we not laugh? if you poison us, do we not die? and if you wrong us, shall we not revenge?”
-William Shakespeare, “The Merchant of Venice”
If I put into words what I’m really feeling it would get me arrested. I’m not the Christian Charlie was. I’m not interested in turning the other cheek. I’m always told violence is not the answer but surely that depends on what question is at issue. Blood for blood is all I’ll say right now.
There is a very fine line between Justice and Revenge…
and quite frankly I don’t care anymore what you call it anymore!
I read comments from armchair marksmen on the right, fulminating against the dirty coward leftist whom they are certain shot Kirk from 200 yards away. These guys all claim it was an easy shot, that they could have done it it their sleep. These same guys can’t wait for the civil war to start, because they have all the guns and are experts in the use of firearms. I have news for them: The civil war started a while ago, and the shaggy, deranged leftists are the only ones counting coup.
The problem with these Monday Morning Marksmen is that they talk about the big shootout, but they’re always on defense, hunkered down in their homes and comforting themselves with stories about dead burglars or home invaders. They’re not taking out tyrant federal judges, corrupt attorney generals, George Soros-bought Secretaries of State, or even George Soros himself. They are forever on defense and reacting in impotent rage to ruthless leftist murder and intimidation.
I understand their rage and frustration, because I also feel it, and I watch as the Globalists and the deep state cultivate, use and excuse brainwashed leftist psychos to cull the herd and chop down trees which grow taller than the rest. I am no great shooter, but I can defend my home if it comes to that. The problem is that it will be too late when the totalitarians have laid waste to everything outside my home, and I haven’t even fired a shot.
The Noble Battle against Evil is non-stop.
Murder, assaults, distractions, deceit, deception, division, media and vicious lies, we will not be deterred.
As we weep over our loss, give us the words to speak, strength and determination as you did For Charlie Kirk, Thank You Jesus.
Thirdtwin: I don’t know enough to weigh in on whether it was an easy shot or not. However, I can’t help but think about hearing after Butler that at that distance, the rifle used would not have been accurate enough for even a good shooter to reliably make the shot. That of course raises the question as to whether Cook was just a patsy.

Seems sadly violence WAS the answer for someone. They’ll get no mercy from me, though.
Don’t allow them to take our guns away. They hate us, and would be glad for our murder.
Stunned when I heard this and the first thing I saw was the horrible raw video. Charlie is truly irreplaceable. Not a day went by that I didn’t watch a clip of one of his events. He was super smart, had an amazing knowledge and was one of the most skillful debaters on earth. Not to mention, wildly persuasive. RFK actually put it best: “Once Again, A Bullet Has Silenced the Most Eloquent Truth Teller of an Era.”
