Having a different opinion, being a Christian, supporting a different political party is NOT preaching hate, not being a Nazi and not supporting fascism. Grow the fuck the up little pathetic people

Chico = Hypocrite


Charlie Kirk did just that preach hate.

Did he deserve what he got, no. Did he cause his own death, a case can be made for it. There is a big difference.

This seems interesting considering the political climate.

US justice department removes study finding far-right extremists commit ‘far more’ violence

Report finding rightwing extremists have killed more Americans than other domestic terrorist groups vanished from DoJ website


The US justice department has scrubbed a study from its website concluding that far-right extremists have killed far more Americans than any other domestic terrorist group, just days after a gunman fatally shot the prominent conservative activist Charlie Kirk.



The report, now archived, titled What NIJ Research Tells Us About Domestic Terrorism, vanished from the Department of Justice website between 12 and 13 September, according to Daniel Malmar, a PhD student studying online extremism at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill, who had been monitoring the page. Kirk, the 31-year-old Turning Point USA founder and Trump ally, was gunned down while speaking at Utah Valley University on 10 September.



The vanished study opened with: “Since 1990, far-right extremists have committed far more ideologically motivated homicides than far-left or radical Islamist extremists, including 227 events that took more than 520 lives. In this same period, far-left extremists committed 42 ideologically motivated attacks that took 78 lives.”
The National Institute of Justice study, which was based on research spanning three decades, represented one of the most comprehensive government assessments of domestic terrorism patterns. It found that “militant, nationalistic, white supremacist violent extremism has increased in the United States” and that “the number of far-right attacks continues to outpace all other types of terrorism and domestic violent extremism”.

But the findings align with independent research from the Center for Strategic and International Studies, which analyzed 893 terrorist plots between 1994 and 2020. That study concluded: “Rightwing attacks and plots account for the majority of all terrorist incidents in the United States since 1994.”



In congressional testimony in 2023, Heidi Beirich, the executive vice-president of Global Project Against Hate and Extremism, told lawmakers as an expert witness that “data on acts of political violence clearly shows that it is the far right that is driving terrorism in the US, including targeting and, in certain cases, murdering law enforcement”.



“That is not to say there is no violence from far-left actors,” she continued, “it is just simply not on the scale or as deadly as what is coming from far-right actors.”

I'm going to disagree with this. Here you have a killer that felt Kirk was a hateful person but saw nothing wrong with killing him for his views? That is hateful and far more hateful than anything Kirk has ever done.

Personally this pisses me off. I miss the days when I was called an extremist and leftist for thinking everyone should have access to health care and nutritious food should not be tied to market value. Chico is not wrong in that leftist violence is a problem. Democrats say they are the party of empathy but those on social media that lean left mocking this death, and yes I recognize as a vocal minority, but it was done and unnecessary.

Also, it wasn't too long ago that democrat leadership was making same comments as Pam Bondi on the suppression of First Amendment rights. Of which Kirk would've lost his shit hearing her make that comment.

We have a problem and leadership on both sides is failing to develop a solution.

I agree with what you're saying. My point was Charlie Kirk sought out just not differing views he delighted in being antagonistic in his interviews debates whatever. He could very well have shared his views without being an ass about his beliefs. What's funny is the right celebrating the lose of freedom of speech to people when Charlie Kirk would have defend the right to say whatever it is they wanted.
