I feel so sad for the father who turned his own son in. I can't imagine how someone can live with that. The question of this thread is how a young kid like that was radicalized and how we can prevent it, or even if we can. Today we see chat rooms, debate sites, Democrat politicians, college professors, major TV anchors and The View spewing hateful rhetoric 24/7. The United States now is in a state of intense tribalism from all the hate speech, mainly from the left. I am no Christian, but Charlie Kirk was a great debater and all-around great person. So what that he believed in a god and no abortions and everything the left holds dear such as no police, trans operations for 5-year-olds, no marriage, etc. He is to be killed for that? In a sane society...NO!

We are no longer a sane society, thanks to media and politicians elected because they don't believe anyone should be punished for their crimes because they grew up poor or because they hate capitalism and want free stuff.

He was not a kid. He was 31 years old🙄
 
It's not a mystery. It's the media. The enemy of the people. They've normalized demonizing people they disagree with. And now, unhinged leftists are acting out.

We have a president that openly calls for violence to happen against anyone "on the left".
His supporters even tried to kill his VP because he wouldn't try to steal the election for him a few years ago.

You notice this all began with Trump's successful ascension in politics?

That's BS. That was a couple of crazies clowning around and you know it. Stop with the hate speech against the right. It is causing these sorts of killings.
 
Amazing how so many people jump so quickly to conclusions and assumptions.
No it isn't. Multiple right wing hacks and news orgs yesterday were posting a random musician from the area that is trans and saying they killed Kirk. They tried to make it about a trans person with ZERO evidence in the hope that some trans people would get killed.

This is the norm in America.

If you seriously want to try and bridge the political divide between the left and right, then maybe don't start by placing the blame for this tragedy on your political opponents. Because that's not going to help anyone cool down at all.

You said it perfectly.

Is this a troll post and I got fooled?

There's no way you can actually type this out and not be trolling.

And then the right-wing amplifies through social media. This is precisely the sort of thing that is causing the violence and radicalization.
 
Yeah, Trumps fault. Good post. Derp.
