Charlie Kirk shooting: another grim milestone in America’s long and increasingly dangerous story of political violence

THECONVERSATION.COM

---

Increasing polarisation and a lack of measured debate is fuelling violence in a nation awash with guns.

 

 

For reference: I'd consider myself to be atheist, (on the milder end of the scale), and yet I possess a strong moral compass and principles.

 

 

It is a good article however slightly undermines its point by introducing Charlie Kirk as a “figurehead of the far right”. Further echoes impartiality by only referencing far right actions (especially

given the current climate) but its key three points I feel are bang on the money!

The last three paragraphs made sense,however it like so many other articles  forgets the mass riots and murders by BLM and ANTIFA.

I wasn't impressed by Charlie Kirk's performance at the Oxford Union - too much up Trump's arse. And that bit in support of the Jan 6 mob.

However that snippet in the link you posted where he's talking to Ben Shapiro shows Kirk in a different light - in that one as he asked about ethnic cleansing claims in Gaza you could see he was obviously a supporter of Israel, but not someone who felt Israel should just be allowed to do anything in Gaza.

Maybe the wealthy jewish donors were trying to use him as a mouthpiece, and he was pushing back.
