Charlie Kirk

[hntnhole]

First, I will confess that I'd never heard of him before his tragic death.  Thus, I am unfamiliar with his message(s), or his points of view.   

What I am familiar with, however, is the fact that murdering people one doesn't agree with, politically, philosophically, religiously, what-ever-ly. is never, ever the answer.  Apparently, as I've learned in the major-media coverage, his message was crisp, sometimes blunt, but never calling for blood.  Yet, that's what some deranged kid answered with.  

How is it that some of us arrive at that answer?  Silencing the opposition?  Actually murdering someone we disagree with?  Varying points of view can - and should be - vigorously debated in our country, and there's nothing wrong - and everything right about that.  

I'm not a doctor, I'm not a psychotherapist, nor competent to clinically comment on whatever is wrong in that regard.  Surely, however, we can all agree to condemn murder as though that could ameliorate any political situation.  

I did notice, however, that the little man that runs the US Governmental Agency regarding events like these, held up the press conference for hours until his plane from DC managed to get to Utah, so his face could be included in the officials present at the press conference.
