Is anyone else struggling to understand why Charlie Kirk’s death feels heavier than so many other tragedies?
I can’t explain why it’s hitting me this hard.
It is NOT a "both sides" issue.
No assassination attempts on Biden.
No assassination attempts on Kamala.
No assassination attempts on AOC.
No assassination attempts on any other prominent voice on the political left.
No violence from pro-Israeli crowds.
No arrests on the pro-Israeli side.
No calls for death or murder of those who oppose the pro-Israeli side.
Those who oppose gender ideology do not call for the death of those who disagree with them.
Those who oppose movements like BLM did not call for the death of those who took part in the BLM riots.
Social media is not flooded with videos from those on the right celebrating the deaths of those on the left or wishing harm upon them.
It is not a "both sides" issue.
They killed a 31 year old father of two whose only crime was to go to university campuses and engage in good faith with people who disagreed with him. If this isn’t a wake up call then we’re never going to wake up.
I saw this video this morning on my feed and I think it so eloquently explains what Charlie Kirk was put on this earth to do.
“When people stop talking, that’s when you get violence, that is when civil war happens”
BREAKING 🚨 Karoline Leavitt just exposed every reporter for NOT reporting on Iryna’s mu*rder:
“Many Journalists in this room spilled plenty of ink on Daniel Penny for trying to defend a subway car from a deranged lunatic in New York City”
ABSOLUTE MIC DROP 🔥
🚨 JUST IN: HORRIFIC extended new video from multiple angles time-synced showing the stabbing of Iryna Zarutska, her collapse, and the kiIIer walking away FREELY
Listen closely: it sounds like the kiIIer says “I got that white girl.”
That’d make this an anti-white HATE CRIME!
No wonder they’re trying so hard to cover this up!
It’s a lose lose for leafs fans.
We cheer for our team, full support every year, thinking this year will be different, then we’re called delusional fans.
We show our frustration after 9 years of playoff failure (2 series wins), then we’re the worst fan base ever. No winning.
Auston Matthew’s isn’t a 13 million dollar player.
William Nylander isn’t a 12.5 million dollar player.
Mitch Marner isn’t a 11 million dollar player.
John Tavares isn’t a 11 million dollar player.
Morgan Rielly isn’t a 7.5 million dollar player.

But then Leafs fans get shit on for being loyal, passionate fans, if they say they think the leafs will win a series or even win the cup. Now they’re called delusional and a terrible fan base. There’s no winning being a leafs fan. No matter what. Nobody can put their bias aside
“Leafs fans booed their team off the ice”
There’s a huge difference between a wild card team who made the playoffs after 7 years, with no expectation to win, compared to a team who has made it out of the first round once in 9 years. Why is this hard for people to understand?
