Chris Pratt leads celebrity reactions to ‘senseless’ Charlie Kirk shooting

And...? It's terrible what happened. People have a right to feel upset and give their condolences. Unfortunately we live in a time where people, on either side of the political aisle, seem to believe if you aren't in agreement with them on every single point they favor, you are against them. There's no nuance anymore. I certainly don't agree with everything Charlie Kirk believed, but that doesn't mean I completely reject everything he said or think it's okay that he died. People have a right to think differently, like it or not. Policing thought is fascism. I see a lot of people hurling the words "Nazi" and "fascist" nowadays, but their willingness to condone cancel culture (and worse) is more an examplemof those terms than what they claim to be attacking in others with opposing views. Not everything is black and white or good vs. evil. But I will say, a lot of this kind of attitude, believing everything to be "us or them," is unhealthy. People are far too wrapped up in politics, bringing it up in almost every conversation. It's almost approaching mental illness in some people I know. Take opinions to the polls, and stop obsessing about what others may think that might differ from your beliefs. The reality is that we all have our beliefs and opinions and can't force them on anyone else. It's exhausting.

He's angling to be cast to play the Great White Dope.

@1 "or think it's okay that he died." Charlie Kirk didn't just die; he was murdered.

Many are celebrating this fact, and it's already turning plenty of moderates against us.

Nice try, r3. Kirk called the guy who bludgeoned Nancy Pelosi’s husband a patriot and raised money for his bail. Kindly go fuck yourself, pussy.

REALITY CHECK FOR CHRISSY AND ALL THE OTHER 'VIOLENT LEFT' SHILLS

REALITY CHECK FOR ALL THE" VIOLENT LEFT" SHILLS

The man who targeted and killed Democratic State Representative Mellissa Hortman was a Trump Supporter.

The man who targeted the home of Democratic Gov Josh Shapiro was a Trump supporter.

The men who wanted to hang Mike Pence on Jan 6 were Trump supporters.

The man who targeted and killed the son of Obama appointed Judge Esther Salas was a Trump supporter.

The man who tried to kidnap Nancy Pelosi and assaulted her husband in their home was a Trump supporter.

The men who were convicted of trying to kidnap Gov Gretchen Whitmer were Trump supporters.

The man who sent pipe bombs to the homes of Obama & Biden was a Trump supporter.

There is no equivalent or even similar list of Obama or Biden supporters who have carried out similar murders,attempted murders or violent attacks.

Chris Pratt displays his self-righteousness and sanctimoniousness.

R5 BTW TheY were ALL

WHITE

NOT ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS

I have a hunch you're not one of "us".

But... sure, hon.

R1 agreed. The fact that you’re receiving pushback just for expressing the opinion that maybe let’s not celebrate people getting murdered, continues to exemplify this, frankly exhausting and more than a little childish, “us vs them” tribalism.

It is sad, and I think pretty much everyone gets that. What people are objecting to is the idea that Charlie Kirk was darn near perfect and the bestest lil pundit that God ever did put on this planet. This ongoing canonization is infinitely more disgusting than anything even the most extremist leftist is saying about him. The truth is he had terrible views and terrible ideas and said terrible things and nobody needs to pretend otherwise even while decrying all political violence.

What @R10 said

Chris Pratt is an animal abusing sack of magat shit with a Stepford wife. Nothing he says matters.

Oh it’s a tragedy. I ran out of box wine.

R1, care to share what you agreed with? Was it when he said gay people should be stoned to death? Was it when he said black pilots aren't qualified? Or when he claimed "WNBA, pot smoking black women" are treated better than Marines? Or when he called black women "moronic" and said black men are "prowling the streets" to kill white people?

Do share, R1. You put so much effort into your lengthy post, but you left that part out.

Why?

The more extreme end of the right wing brought the level of discourse to a height that’s lower than a worm’s tit, so - while I don’t condone it - it’s hardly surprising to see the more extreme end of the left wing replying in kind.

The problem is too many people lack self-awareness. Many of those who mocked - for example - the attack on Paul Pelosi (eg the “hammer time” memes) now seem genuinely upset by anyone who’s not falling prostrate at the altar of Charlie Kirk.

And I just think… really? Why would they? Think about it. Have some self-reflection, even for just 30 seconds. That’s probably long enough for most to get it. But 30 seconds is too long for them.

And so it carries on.

Don't bother, R14. It's R1's only post on DL. That level of verbal diarrhea takes a lot of effort.

"Policing thought is fascism."

Does that including deporting people for criticizing Israel? Or banning books for "incorrect ideology"?

We are being inundated with one-post trolls like R1. I wonder if it's all bots. One post and boom, new IP address.

Fuck the fascists and other hypocrites.

St Charles was a vile hatemonger who reaped what he sowed. Karma is a bitch and so was Charlie.

I thought he was from Arlington Heights.
