    And it just got lit. This is only going to make things more divisive.

    Because Trump has led the right to believe they are at war with the left. Any way you point fingers and add fuel to that fire they are going to do.

    While I agree, he also deserved it. Both can be true.

    There should be no room for political violence one way or the other.

    Agreed. But im not sad it happened to someone who encouraged the very thing that happened to him. Again, both can be true.

    I wonder if the shooter is someone who had like a child who was targeted by the rhetoric that Kirk espoused, or maybe had a spouse taken by ICE.

    NOT condoning shit, just wondering the motivations.

    Its odd to both not want political violence (cause I agree, it has no place anywhere)... but then one side has stoked the fire on both sides so much that it was inevitable


    So where do you even stand when people are so deplorable but there shouldn't be political violence BUT one side asks people to be violent to the other side? Did they expect one side to just NOT do anything?

    Do you see the conundrum yet and why people act so strongly? Its systemic within the political arena. So again, blame Trump for all of this going on, because it went on A LOT less before he took office the first time.

    They're now saying there is no suspect in custody.

    Quick question: how many here know the name Melissa Hortman? Just curious.

    With as many phone cameras as must have been on, how is it possible that they don't know the shooter?

    According to one witness, Kirk was talking questions from the crowd, and someone asked him about mass shootings, seconds later he was shot.

    I do. So does that absolve people of consequences to those words of free speech?

    I despise racists and bigots. Dont you?

    I will always hate racists and bigots. Hard to feel empathy to the person. To everyone else and his family? Sure. But consequences of his hateful speech happened. Should it have happened? No. Did it? Yes.

    Please use basic logic and see the differences in how i approached it. Thank you.
