Merged Charlie Kirk shot at Utah Valley University event. / Charlie Kirk Shot And Killed

[Resume]

Don Jr lies: "When the left realizes that they're losing arguments, they resort to this violence. I see the constant 'the violence goes both ways.' And it does not. The violence is going one way." (Note the complete lack of pushback from Martha MacCallum.)

No pushback and no evidence put forth by snorty.

do you have any thoughts on the rhetoric coming from the president and his subordinates regarding this shooting?

They are going beyond anything we've seen yet. But IMHO it's new.

How did he manage to engrave an essay on small bullet casings?

idk if I’d say it’s new, imo it’s escalated. but i agree it’s beyond anything we’ve seen.

One semester at Utah State University, a fairly conservative college in a fairly conservative town (Logan, Utah) in a very conservative state.

“Radicalized” after one semester of USU is like saying you became an alcoholic from one dose of NyQuil.

Sadly, this belief is actually out there. I have LDS in-laws who actually believe that even one drink will make you an alcoholic.

eta: I guess for some people one drink is all it takes to expose alcoholism. However those in-laws believe that one drink may make anyone an alcoholic.

Where does one draw the line? We have the famous example of not shouting fire in a theater. Words *do* cause harm, in certain situations.
If one runs into a Harlem club and starts shouting the 'N' word at everyone, and them someone takes a swing at you--should you play the 'victim card'? Cause legally, in most cases you could, it is considered a criminal assault, despite the incitement. Yet the assaulter typically would not be sentenced to a long jail sentence or death, unless he was in Trump's new America.

A few years ago First Amendment scholar Ken White said that people were taking the pulse of the "fighting words" exception to free speech. Your example might rekindle the debate.

You're aware that Trump quotes Hitler in his rallies, right? Maybe if he'd stop doing that we'd stop being confused.

No, and neither is Google AI: "Donald Trump does not explicitly quote Adolf Hitler in his rallies. However, he has faced criticism for using language and themes that critics and historians say echo those used by Hitler and other authoritarian figures."

You just made that up.

You need to find a good therapist who does age regression hypnosis.

So when Trump says "immigrants are poisoning the blood of the country" That's ok, cause he did not say "To quote my idol Adolf, 'immigrants are poisoning the blood of our country"
Got it.

No, you don't get it. Hitler never said "Immigrants (or Jews) are poisoning the blood of our country."

Well yeah, but that was not assassination. It was crowd gone wild more than anything else.

It was political violence and that’s exactly what I was referencing in my post that you were responding to.

"Browncoats"

Don Jr: "The irony of the anti-fascists these days -- they seem to be taking a lot of playbooks out of the fascists, out of the browncoats. 'If you don't agree with someone, kill them.' That seems quite fascist to me. So I wish we stop calling them antifa."

He must be a fan of Firefly.

I like how your defense of Trump is that he didn’t quote Hitler, he just talks like him.

Unclear what this is doing in this thread.

Perhaps you could muster the courage to defend your choice.

Browncoats, weren't they Butlins staff?

This isn't the time for bitter divisiveness. Surely there must be some group we can all turn on together.
