    There’s no debating a threat to kill 10% of the population for simply existing.

    You really think you’re cooking with the “put a bullet in his head” straw man when we don’t even have a conviction, never mind the killer’s manifesto.

    And if the killer is a leftist (statistically unlikely) how does that relate to me? I don’t advocate killing anyone. Unlike your boy Charlie, who is was a stochastic terrorist.

      Do you really think that the American public is going to endorse a political candidate that would say hey by the way, we need to kill 10% of the American public. Charlie Kirk was friends with Scott Pressler, who is a known conservative, gay man as well as milo and the treasury secretary, Scott bissent. I personally don’t have a problem with anyone that’s gay, trans or whatever. It honestly doesn’t matter to me. Charlie was a devout Christian and had his views on homosexuality and such, but let me ask you a question. Would you be just as critical of a Muslim imam saying basically the same things? Or how about in certain Muslim areas where they actively hunt down and kill gay people? If the answer is now, it seems like your cherry picking.

        Some of his best friends are gay! Well then, he’s just a liar? Or does he kind of want them stoned to death?

        To answer your first question, sadly.

        And for your last question, Christian fascists are labeled “the American Taliban” because they’re similarly violent hateful misogynistic homophobic fundamentalists.

        What kind of point did you think you were making? Suddenly I’d melt trying to defend one religious zealot but not another?

        This is the problem with America. Everyone sees reality through the filter of sports — my team good, their team bad. Too busy chanting death to the other team to understand rational, sensible people who say the game sucks.
