I can't write about anything else either. This genocide has to be stopped and all of our voices are needed to bring attention to it.

He was a father and a husband. I hate violence. I have a piece I am working on about it Ced. You'll see. But I hated it. No one should die for their beliefs, but I believe that this will be used to roll back our civil liberties for the rest of our lives. The right is in power now and are using it to their benefit and when the left is in power they will use it just the same. I do not believe that Robinson kid did it. I think it was some faction of the Israel lobby, and will be used as a provocation.

Charlie Kirk's death was the first shot of an incoming civil war, and during war all civil rights are gone.

its interesting to know the ulterior motives, cuz I know thing aren't as they seem with this. On the other hand speech has never been free they have always came with consequences. In the street and especially politics that includes being a activist. See MLK, see Malcom X, see Gandhi. the list is really endless. It comes with the game. Whether he knew it or not that's the life he chose and that is the price he paid. Same with a drug dealer. Drug dealers get popped nobody necessarily feels bad for his family. Heck they spined the block and targeted MLK family.

True. It happened to them, but that wasn’t right. If you are okay with MLK, Malcolm X, RFK, Gandhi, John Lennon, JFK, Yitzhak Rabin, Muammar Gaddafi, Fred Hampton, or the over 200 journalists slaughtered in Gaza and the many, many more who’ve been killed for having beliefs that didn’t align with the state, than sure, Charlie Kirk can get it to but I can’t accept that. That means that me or you could be murdered for what we are doing right here.

There have always been repercussions for speaking out, like disagreement, changing minds, challenging beliefs, and yes, sometimes offense, but murder should NEVER be on the table.

If you don’t take someone else’s life than no one should take yours. Words, beliefs, none of this should carry the weight of death. If it does than life is not receiving the value that it should.

I really didn’t believe that people were showing this little value for life when this first happened.

I honestly thought that this was a move to provoke us to war with whichever overseas enemy or maybe Venezuela, but now I see this is to sell us on a civil war against each other.

We cannot be so nonchalant about this. We must recognize when they are trying to turn us against our neighbors and stand with them, and they need to do the same and stand with us. When they try to sell us on war against our domestic neighbors we’ve got to be prepared to tell them “Fuck no! I won’t fire a single bullet at anyone who has not threatened me or someone I love.”

If we don’t than none of us stand a chance.
