If his security team had been at Kirk’s event, Rhodes said, the 31-year-old founder of Turning Point USA would still be alive.

Dude is delusional. Would you have stopped the speeding bullet?, or somehow known someone was on the rooftops? Or would you have been down there flexing on unarmed college students?

    I agree that it seems the level of security was a factor before, during, and after the event. But anyone can claim "if I was there" after the fact. The takeaway is how this is motivating such groups to get ready for more, an excuse for violence.

    The mainland gitmos were already coming. The Proud Boys and the likes were receding because they were getting government jobs, not retiring. Anything that will happen now was going to happen anyway. Maybe this will inspire people to actually take a stand against shithead Nazis. Maybe someone will see this and think "so thats what children go through at school", or maybe this will repeal the concealed carry law on that campus before a mass shooting happens there. But what it didnt do was kick start this fascist bullshit.

    But, tell us again how the "radical left lunatics" are the violent ones?

    When schools are terrorized by guns and children die, no problem. Cost of doing business.

    The guy that literally said some gun deaths a year are worth it "to protect our other god given rights", literally dies for the cause. They call for "Civil war"...

    Charlie Kirk was political the same way the Ku Klux Klan is political.
