@HoegLaw One person isn't the voice of all. Republicans aren't burning and breaking in the streets in the name of Charlie Kirk. They're using their voice. Charlie would approve of that "vengeance"

“A racist person would never call you & your family beautiful”
“He sees this beautiful family of this mom & kid, he’s gonna call them beautiful & a gift from God & you trying to sit here and tell me that he hates black people”
@legalbytesmedia Love you girl, I just don't think two men in their 20's would use text to give every possible answer the public wants. It would be a phone call or Snapchat unless the killer planned this to exonerate his boyfriend. Food for thought but I do appreciate you mentioning the ellipsis
At a moment when both sides should be reining in their own and cooling the temperature, @Riley_Gaines_ and I went on @PiersUncensored expecting a conversation—what we got instead was 45 minutes of ad hominem attacks from two unhinged men.
To Piers Morgan’s credit, he stood up for us. But after this—and the endless smear campaigns from outlets like @CNN—I can’t help but wonder if any of this is even worth it.
When I look back at the leaders we once admired, their north star was unity. They took the high ground. They engaged with both sides, even when it was hard. I’ve tried to do the same. Yet time and again, I find the left making that impossible.
They either won’t show up for the conversation, or when they do, they shout you down, call you racist or fascist, and then lie about the exchange afterward.
I’ve now been on the left trying to engage the right, and on the right trying to engage the left. The difference is stark—and it’s why I’ve gravitated in the direction I have.
While I refuse to partake in that kind of behavior I now realize not every voice deserves an audience. Some people don’t want dialogue—they want chaos. And I see the best way to defeat hate isn’t to engage it, but to starve it. Hate thrives on attention and dies in neglect.
Many warned me. I refused to accept it. Lesson learned.
I doubt Charlie Kirk and I would agree on anything but I do not give a single fuck. A human was just publicly executed at a university for having views other people did not agree with.
The fact that there are so-called anti-gun and anti-violence people on this platform celebrating the violent murder of someone is enough internet for me.
If you are truly anti-gun and anti-violence - and you are smugly or gleefully enjoying this, you’re absolutely sickening. The tweets I am seeing from professionals and activists revelling in this murder are unforgivable.
I’ll go one step further…words are not violence, debate is not violence, and to repeatedly condemn opposing views as violent implicitly justifies the use of violence in opposition to those views/words.
Things feel pretty dark right now
