Thank you for spotlighting this. As always, your words are right on point. And this is why I left the left. The left now stands for murder, hate, racism, and power. No respect for civility, no respect for the shared value of human life. No respect for the freedom to disagree. No respect for spirituality. This is the downfall of the West.
There are more examples than we can count of left-wing celebrations of Kirk's death on the public internet, and scores more examples of right-wing people lamenting that people they know have celebrated the assassination. I have my own examples.
This isn't new, but it's the most important aspect of this issue. These killings are happening because shooters live in partisan echo chambers that don't merely inspire radical views on issues - they generate consensus justifying terrorism.
Very, very well said. I will definitely share your post. It is honest and hits the nail on the head. I think that Mr. Kirk would have approved. It is, truly, a sad day in America.
My son went to high school with Charlie and his sister. Konstantin Kisin also eulogized Charlie, not as eloquently but movingly nonetheless, and asked if this is a portent of things to come. He was a good man and I am saddened beyond words by his assassination. Like you and Kisin, I fear this is more than a random act of violence.

So well said David. This is deeply troubling and sad.

Did your kids ever mention any anecdotes about Charlie worth sharing?
Beautifully said.
