The hypocrisy of bemoaning gun violence will be rampant

Trump announcing Kirk's death on Truth Social before media announces publicly should tell you everything you need to know. Needs to permanently be the centre of attention.

While this is true…this will be a difficult pill for many to swallow here for this guy.
That being said, it should really be known that something like this will have consequences for likely all the wrong people…often making things worse and not better. And shite-toads like Kirk will likely be turned into a martyr for their cause. So this is not a good thing. At all. /bleah

Freedom of speech should be protected at all cost, no matter a person's beliefs are. Nobody deserves to die because of being crazy. Violence is never the answer

Somehow, I wouldn't be surprised if this becomes an Archduke Franz Ferdinand moment to trigger the boogaloo. And on the eve of 9/11, yet...

His "speech" that we're concerned with "protecting" is calling for violence against others. Just to be clear.

Trump seems to be itching for any justification to take further regressive action.

If this were true, Kirk would have been arrested for incitement. If instead you are abstracting ideas of violence and then reifying them, then I understand you loud and clear: Ignore real violence and live in solipsistic land.

When you do your utmost to undermine democracy and the rule of law, then all you have left is violence. At this point, anyone claiming that things can be fixed through the courts or elections is profoundly deluded. (Or so says my American husband, who will set foot in his home country under no circumstances.)

So they're going to "find" people. What are they going to do when they find them?
Where were these words when the Minnesota politicians were shot and killed?

While you won’t be getting much argument on me on this. But it should be noted that thanks to this incident puts the outcome of the consequences of this in the hands of those who hate free speech and other civil liberties the most…
….and if that doesn’t hit home, Trump is already blaming peeps with my views and leanings on killing this guy on their national television. And that terrifies me.
