Charlie Kirk
By Mitch Berg
Apparently having an open, honest debate with people who disagree with you rates a death sentence.
Even some Democrats realize things have gone too far:
As this is written, the shooter is still apparently at large.
But who knew – when the leaders of a party full of mentally unstable people chant that their opponents are “Nazis” and “Fascists”, people my grandfathers’ generation spent the best years of their lives killing and trying not to be killed by, that someone in that mass of unstable weirdos would take it seriously?
And the giggly, tingly, school-girly response by so many Democrats, including prominent ones, to Luigi Mangione should be a bigger warning; their inventory of nutbars who think homicide is OK is nowhere near exhausted.
And no, it’s not a “both sides do it” thing.
The nation needs the same level of commitment to rooting out left wing terrorism today that we put into eradicating the Klan 60 years ago, or the mob in the ’80s.
We won’t get it, but we’ll need it.
The one silver lining? The Democrats’ ill-gotten right to throw out “January 6!” like a badly-trained parrot is forever null and void.

I admit it’s a bit of a tangent but I find it noteworthy that for all the crap they got from their elders, the Millennials (Charlie Kirk, Matt Walsh, Ben Shapiro, et al) look to be The Generation that is going to fight (and die) to recover our lost legacy.

I know we’re still under Berg’s Eighteenth Law of Media Latency, but can I discuss not this incident in specific, but similar incidents in general?
The guy who shot at Trump in Butler and this guy were both shooting from elevated positions more than 100 yards away. Those shots aren’t spray-and-pray like gangbangers or school shooters, they require preparation and at least some skill. Where are they getting it? Who’s training Leftists to snipe at Conservatives?

John,
Elevated position and clear line of sight is such a basic concept that there’s no training required. We don’t need to look for a Conspiracy when the there’s a Consensus out in the open.

The people on the Left cheering the death of Charlie Kirk point out he said bad things, he said provocative things, he said things they don’t agree with, and therefore got what he deserved.
But suppose someone on the Right made a list of those cheering people and went around the country systematically killing them because they said things we don’t agree with. Would the Left agree that turnabout is fair play, that sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander, that they got what they deserved?

This just in. A suspect has been arrested. I won’t comment on the early speculation about motive and lifestyle of the perp.

Lot of people thundering online about how this is is, now they’ve done it, the Left has crossed the line, there’s no going back, it’s civil war and all is fair in love and war. But I haven’t seen any headlines about prominent Liberals being shot dead today. So what’s really changed?
We’re going to write our stern letters in ALL CAPS now?

^ Being disingenuous is not really good look, Mr Jones. I’d be interested to know your plans and/or what you’ve already done about this “civil war”.

I’m thinking that best response here is that we on the right need to describe the comments of the left accurately, refrain from hastily assuming motivations of our opponents, and call attention to the problem when the left refuses to do the same.
And if one of “ours” someday goes after his opponents with a deer rifle, we need to cheer when he is apprehended, tried, and convicted.
