A 31 year old man was assassinated in front of his family yesterday.
A man who was known for holding respectful conversations on US campuses. Oftentimes many of those kids, who virulently disagreed with him during these exchanges, would express surprise afterwards at how kind, empathetic & genuinely tolerant he was. They’d leave with a newfound respect.
These conversations were working. He was making a difference. He was successful at engaging with young people in a calm & rational manner.
And for this, he was murdered.
Right now, online, we are seeing a clear delineation between those expressing genuine grief over this despicable act, & feral, savage, inhumane celebrations of his death, too many to even count.
And all coming from the same factions most of us have sadly become all too familiar with over the years.
These people are NOT ‘kind’.
They are NOT ‘on the right side of history’.
They are NOT about ‘peace & love’.
The masks came off quite some time ago. And what’s underneath is truly ugly.
Rest in Peace, Charlie Kirk.
@FirstYork would it hurt for any of your buses to ever be on time in York. It's not just one service it's all of them. Never on time. Pathetic company you are. Absolutely sick of it.
