Someone IS assassinated and we shouldn't talk about it here?

RIP Charlie 

Peace to his family and friends

Time to bring back public executions!
Speedy trail
Barbeque  "optional"
 Public Hanging

We can't because the same certain people here will report it because it hurts their feelings and offends them to talk about current events. You know who they are. Look at the locked threads and look for the crazy rants

Not sure what there is to talk about.... there is no shortage of anger and division in society... makes me think there will be more violence.
If anyone sees a way back to "one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all", I would like to hear it.

Political assassinations are bad.

Fixing this might help.  Elon's not the only one who feels this way either according to recent voter registration numbers.

I see your point but I also see observations like this as being more divisive than unifying (and by unifying I actually mean co-operative discussion to find a middle ground - no side is ever completely in the right).

I was stunned when I saw the initial reports, like "why would anyone kill that guy?  He's just a guy who goes out and discusses his beliefs with others."
Wasn't a big follower of his, just checked out YT clips now and then. Very deeply rooted in his beliefs and convictions, but still allowed others to present their side of the argument, usually without getting belligerent.
After the fact is when I started getting........ticked off is the phrase I can use on this board.
We have a son getting married next week down in Lewisville, and of course family will be attending.
One of those family members, actually TWO now, expressed excitement and joy at the news of the murder.  Said he deserved it.
Those people are now dead to me.  Not trying to be dramatic, that's just how I feel.  I am related to them by marriage, and won't do anything to keep my wife from seeing them.  But I am done.
There are several public figures ( I guess you could call CK a public figure and be accurate?) that I dislike, or even detest.  None of them do I HATE.  Just my personal belief that hate itself is wrong, so detest is about as strong as I allow myself to feel.
There's not a single one of them that I would cheer and celebrate their demise, especially if they met their fate in a similar fashion as he did.  I would hope that we have enough civility and humanity left within ourselves to stop short of cheering for a cold blooded murder.
I've read numerous times over the past few years, and tend to agree, that we as a people have become addicted to rage and anger.  Constantly seeking something to be outraged or angry about. 
I've been trying to not go along, reminding myself of a saying I once read:  "Those who anger you, control you."
Don't like the notion of being a puppet on a string, being played by others, so once the initial flush of emotion is past, I try (try being the key word) to take a deep breath, ask myself how what ever triggered that emotion is going to affect me, my family, or my life directly...........and then let it go.
Sorry for rambling, folks, for some reason that senseless event has bothered me more than a lot of other events that have occurred recently.

A most accurate view on the last 20 years.

You are not alone eddiek

Some responses I have seen are as disturbing and disgusting as the assassination imo..

Shows what sad shape we are in as a so called civilization..

That's for sure but some sides are completely wrong.

Truely a sad event in American history. Showing how utterly scared they are of actual debate on a college campus, waking up the youth is what they fear the most, but this will wake them up even more. Charlie said it would be Isreal that sniped him if it were to come. I think he was potentially in with mossad who saw him turning against them by some of the recent things he's said. He said it himself... which is scary tbh. Could just another deranged kid, but damn a 4.0 GPA with a 32k scholarship and look what he turned into. Something is brainwashing our youth to kill.

The only way we as a society can get back to reality is by putting propaganda laws back on to MSM. Calling people racist and nazis every day is starting to really have an impact on the left who are the most vulnerable to propaganda. Painting an entire political party as something from the 1940s that's not even close is having a tremendous impact on the division in our society. This all started with Hillary Clinton and her rhetoric, then Obamas. Notice the shift we've gone through as many were always calling out against communism from 1950 - 2010, now over the last 20 years, there's been a shift towards the term fascism, which paints all conservatives who support america as Fascist, which instantly labels us the most evil people. On top of the anti white agenda, the flooding of Islam and Haitians being placed into out cities so they can use these people as pawns against conservatives. They always use this term "hate" now. I think "hate" is a new trigger word for them. Everything is about "hate hate hate" and then their media claims we are all about 'hate hate hate' and this is all they think, like we "hate" everyone, This propaganda is extremely dangerous. We saw with the train stabbing incident, a man attack an innocent white woman because his media told all white people are racist. It was a clear racist attack as he said himself "I got that white girl".

We are under a psychological propaganda attack by communism and Islam to take over our country and the entire western world. Many will shrug that off and their naivety will pay the price as Charlie and that poor woman did. There's a reason they dont place Islamic male refugees in Egypt and UAE, instead in England and France and Minnesota, ect. Until people realize they are being invaded, their culture is being manipulated and subversed and propagandized, and until people realize media is the #1 problem along with trafficking NGOs bringing in outsiders who dont love America and dont believe in our freedoms, this will only get worse.

I have a 45 on me now and my 9 is at home. One riot gun in the truck and one long gun.

[Busher]

Just a thought... has anyone considered who (foreign or domestic) gains the most by keeping the country a divided nation?

I struggled to find the right words when discussing the events (including the stabbing of the girl and the school shooting) with my students on top of discussing 9/11 with them.  I ultimately said that all these things just provide further proof that evil has and always will exist, and all we can do each day is try to be a good human.  We've gone backwards in time as now it seems like the average response to someone you disagree with is to hate them, and they are the ones that can change that.
