Charlie Kirk shot

You might not know him but he was well known in America.

Video on x - wont survive that

With a high profile case like this, wonder if this is the start to more sensible gun laws.

I’ll be absolutely amazed if he survives that. Can’t help thinking that this incident will have more of a political impact than the deaths of all of the schoolchildren that have been murdered by people who would have no chance of legally owning a gun in most other countries in the world.

Re: Charlie Kirk shot

I actually feel a little ill seeing that, and I have to say, I didn't ask to. You click on a trending name and you see the video. Poor bloke.

I know of him. I've watched some of his content. Some people will disagree with him, but I don't think they will -or should- disagree with his style, which is typically polite and taking questions and fairly respectfully answering them, challenging assumptions and prejudices etc. Really, he does things the way they should be done, and his debates are interesting.

I really hope he survives

Unlikely, this is the guy that said gun deaths are worth it to protect the second amendment. If they don't amend gun laws when children get shot I doubt they'll do it because someone hugely pro gun did

Exactly this.

I didn't like or agree with a thing he said. Unfortunately his death IMO will lead to those on the far right the to claim that all lefties are loonies and polarise politics even further.

Truth is there are nutters all along the political spectrum.

Actually you both will have very likely agreed with a lot of what he said, and how he said it. Just as many on the right will agree with much that Corbyn or any left wing activist will say when given the time to listen.

This bullshit that none of us have anything in common is absolutely false, 100% part of the problem, and really isn't the tone that he pushed out.

You are right there are extremists across the spectrum of course.

He has absolutely nothing to do with the specific case, but you will clearly see the point I am making if you read it clearly.

Re: Charlie Kirk shot

The problem here is that it's becoming 'acceptable' in the USA, to shoot politician who's views you don't agree with. Some may say it's always been that way, and that the Trump shooting was faked, but a lot of people on the right believe it was real. Makes you wonder who will be next.

I don't think most people think it's acceptable but you will always have deranged fools with access to powerful weapons who think it's acceptable to kill anyone for any possible sleight or even no real reason.

Surely most people, right, left, centre, whatever would agree the Trump assassination attempt was real, particularly when you have very similar events like yesterday.

Can you imagine if we did? It’s mental to think you can just have a gun over there….i think this country is in a mess sometimes but looking across the pond you realise it’s not that bad….
