    How’s that martyrdom going? I rarely hear folks talk about this grifter anymore. Good riddance. I’m just glad he’s not here to change his stance on war with Iran.

      Erika Kirk is getting a sweet deal by going on tour mourning his loss with blackjack and hookers.

      MAGAs don’t do martyrs good, because they’re all sociopaths who don’t care about anyone but themselves. Other people are only important for whatever they can provide, which ends when they are dead. It’s hard for MAGAs to carry a torch for someone who offers no immediate reward. It’s all about what have you done for me lately, and Charlie hasn’t been very helpful lately.

        Yet another freshly made account just to push a failed authoritarian narrative. You’re nothing but a useless and overdone cliche’, mon ami.

        I remember that fact every few months and go “heh”. Now assume that everyone here behaves the same and some act on it and post: individual people don’t need to think about him frequently for you to see posts frequently.

        Sure it’s always good to point out that a person held absolutely trash views, horrible at debating anyone that was serious, and was a objectively horrible human being.

        You always need to talk about a person like that as a model for how not to be a good person to help ensure future generations don’t end up to be racist, intellectually dishonest, grifting trash adults.

      The alleged shooter has been quiet since being arrested. The investigation was also garbage.

      Available evidence suggests he was probably on the left as he apparently killed him over trans rights. But the killer left very little clear information about his political views–if he had any beyond opposing bigotry.

        Wasn’t he a groper who disliked him because of his pro Israel stance?

        The fact we haven’t heard anything else from him kind of cements that as well as the current fbi would clearly politicize it if they could

          I’ve seen no evidence he was a groyper. There were rumors of that but I’m unsure what they were based on.

          Like I said, he just really didn’t say much about his politics publicly.

            I believe the groyper accusations were based on unsubstantiated reports of slogans written on bullets, but like you said, idk about actual evidence. Given the two loudest theories being he was either a fascist or an anarchist, he was probably a centrist.

      It’s because you are a good person or at least violence averse. Plenty of folks are, there’s nothing to be ashamed of in that fact.

      Personally I don’t get it. I see these fascistic pissants and my hand twitches, my mind hazes, and I hear the call of my ancestors and gods. I want to taste violence more now than ever, I want to go out like John Brown or his sons. But I have to restrain myself just as my ancestors have since civilization came westward and our savagery became inconvenient. But I shall restrain for now is not yet the time.

      The sign of wisdom is to know ones own limits and to act accordingly. You should separate thin self from violence if it upsets you so.

    Why would I run away from the ideas I believe in or try to silence them? That quote doesn’t even make any sense
