  This week we witnessed both the violence and the intolerance of more and more of the American public. We do not want to hear points of view that do not reflect ours. We have become apartheid when it comes to politics. And so, Charlie Kirk was murdered by a kid who did not agree with him. A kid who had been radicalized online and held even more extreme views than Kirk did. It is reported that the assassin was a follower of Nick Fuentes, the racist, rabidly racist podcaster whom Trump entertained at Mar-a-Largo, along with Kanye West, another confused individual, before he was elected president for the second time.
  What happened to Charlie Kirk is unforgivable. No one should lose their life for expressing their point of view; no one. And yet it happens over and over and over again, especially in a society overwhelmed by the amount of guns available to anyone and everyone. The president of the United States immediately blamed the left for this tragedy, without any proof, as he always does. He is so narcissistic that he doesn’t realize that he’s the biggest hatemonger in America; all he does is spread lies and disinformation, and leaves it all up to us to decipher his unstable rants! Wat a ting!
  I am not a person who gloats over the misfortune of others, especially when people die or are killed. There are a lot of people whom I despise, but would never want to see them dead. To me that is too extreme, too unfeeling, too final. One should be allowed to be disagreeable without having to experience extreme prejudice!
  Charlie Kirk’s assassination has been covered to such an extent that one would assume that he was important, that he had contributed to the betterment of the nation. There is an aura of sanctity being built around his death, and the press is not helping to quash this ridiculous notion. Charlie Kirk spread hate and a lot of racist ideology wherever he went. The things he has said about black people are unforgivable. You can check out his diatribes on the internet; not only about black people, but also about minorities and guns and politicians whom he didn’t agree with. So, no, he’s not a saint.
  His death was unnecessary. It says a lot about the times we are living in, especially about young men with weak minds who are so self-contained that they blend reality with their fevered dreams, and chaos follows. And everyone starts pontificating about unity and brotherhood and tolerance, when the same people espousing those views are some of the most divisive ones. They talk about turning down the temperature, about seeing each other as neighbors and fellow citizens. Talk, talk, talk!
  Charlie Kirk should still be alive. He should still be able to explain the world as he sees it. We all have opinions; some, or most are misguided, but we should be allowed to express them. What we should not try to do is make someone a saint for being divisive and exclusive. He was a man, a father and husband, a podcaster. He did not see us all as being worthy to exist in this American society. He expressed his views on DEI, and Trans politics and guns, freely, which was his right. But he was not a saint!
