The main purpose of this post is not to step on anyone's toes, or to cause an argument or debate. But I would nonetheless like to open with the following: That after reading through some of these pages, I am shocked an appalled by what some of you guys are posting. It saddens me, because I've been posting with some of you for the better part of 20 years, and I've always respected you a lot.
From the bottom of my heart, I implore you: Please be better.
My 2 cents:
All I really want to say is that regardless of beliefs and viewpoints, nobody deserves to get killed for having them.
Personally, I lean to the right, but I would never jump for joy or rejoice if anyone on the left got brutally executed, which is what took place here.
Now, I have to point out that "leaning to the right" has a very different meaning in where I'm from (in alot of cases) as opposed to the US. Actually, being full blown right wing where I'm from, would probably still be considered moderate in the US.
But I digress;
I want to see human decency restored. I want us to stop dancing and making funny videos over other people's deaths, no matter who they are. I want there to be a bridge where there currently is nothing but a big divide.
For me, Charlie Kirk was all about that. Whether you liked him or not, at least one can't deny that he stepped up wherever he went with speech, with arguments, and the willingness to listen and talk. He had some controversial viewpoints, but at the end of the day he welcomed the debate.
To be gunned down, on University grounds, while debating opponents peacefully and thereby exercising the holiest (in my book) of rights; the freedom of speech, is not only a cruel act towards a citizen, a father, a husband, but also a direct stab at democracy itself.
Whether someone from the right or the left gets killed like this, it is wrong. Pure and simply cruel, evil and wrong. And endlessly sad.
I pray for Kirk's wife and kids, and I also pray for the USA, that there will one day be an end to this senseless "de facto" Civil War.
