    I remember once putting a video about Palestine and was removed because it was considered political but now political videos are allowed. So hypocritical, altought i agree that Kirk was a racist

    Thoughts and prayers! He gave his life for every murrrican’s right to be able to do a school shooting. He died for what he stood for.

        Psalm 109:8-16:

        May his days be few; may another take his office! May his children be fatherless and his wife a widow! May his children wander about and beg, seeking food far from the ruins they inhabit! May the creditor seize all that he has; may strangers plunder the fruits of his toil! Let there be none to extend kindness to him, nor any to pity his fatherless children! May his posterity be cut off; may his name be blotted out in the second generation! May the iniquity of his fathers be remembered before the Lord, and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out! Let them be before the Lord continually, that he may cut off the memory of them from the earth! For he did not remember to show kindness, but pursued the poor and needy and the brokenhearted, to put them to death.

    Thanks for sharing this. I think this is a perfect example to share with conservative friends/relatives when they ask why we hated this guy.

    He was not a good guy.

    this is a good video, I like that it doesn’t use the same partial-context quotes everybody else is using lately

    As you all know by now, on September 10th, Charlie Kirk was murdered on a college campus in Utah. While I’ve always vehemently disagreed with Kirk on 95% of issues, and while I stand by everything I said about him in this video, he didn’t deserve to die. Nobody deserves to be murdered or physically harmed because of their words and beliefs.

    When I found out he was shot, I had the misfortune of seeing the video. It was the worst thing I’ve ever seen. I had to stop doing homework. I couldn’t pay attention in class. It shook me to my core. It affected me a lot more than the Trump shooting, and not just because this time someone had actually died. The President of the United States will always be a target. If the President actually gets shot, it’s shocking and horrifying, but it usually means that the Secret Service just had a bad day. But when a political commentator, an internet celebrity who held no public office, is murdered in cold blood, something is deeply wrong with your country.

    My thoughts are with Charlie and his family.

      Yeah, are we really at the point where we need to be murdering pieces of shit? I don’t want the judicial system to do it, and I definitely don’t want “vigilantes” to be doing it.

      I definitely recognize the irony of the context in this situation though. He literally stood on the platform of “We need to accept that some people will die so that we can have our guns”. He put his life where his mouth was…not that he ever expected to be the one to sacrifice his life.

      I guess shooting nerf guns or silly string at him wouldn’t have gotten the same message across.
