Charlie Kirk shot at an event in Utah

[putnam6]

I was very surprised that the Detroit Lions didn’t have a moment of silence. 

Detroit is always labeled a blue city but it really doesn’t have the insane Liberal antics like other blue cities.

It's the city council, they approve everything related to Ford's Field, everything... from police to EMS, garbage, etc, they likely get kickbacks, favored status for vendorship in the stadium. 

It's why Sports team owners love building outside the city limits with fewer restrictions and graft 

It ain't the public perse, it's the politicians

[Vermilion]

As if white nationalists and nazis are a comparable segment of the population to the percentage of the left gleefully enjoying the past week...or the segment that believes violence is justified...

FFS, It's not even close, CS...

5 NFL teams declined a moment of silence for Charlie Kirk every one of them in a blue city....

Why, because they know it would piss off a huge segment of politicians and the public in their zip code.

Zero NFL teams declined a moment of silence for that criminal drug eater George “Fentanyl” Floyd.

Tell me when you have sorted your own problems, which seems massive in comparison to ours?

We're working on it, and of course ours seem massive compared to yours. Your entire country is the size of one of our states.

Also, it is very telling about just how far down you have been beaten when you seem to not care about having people in your country arrested for thoughtcrimes.

Pretty much.  What's it to you, pokenose?

Just watching the live feed of Trump’s visit to your great country.

That's one hell of a table set up for the banquet, very impressive.

I thought it was very touching that Melania wore a burqa to respect local British custom.

Not all thinks are comparable. But I’m just trying to make a point in good faith and show my math. 

The argument over who has more extremism, or more political violence has been an unproductive one for me because each time you zoom out on the timeline it muddies the water.

Also, I think there’s a difference between gleefully celebrating and not changing their opinion on someone. People can not have agreed with him, still be critical of them, and not view him as a hero while still saying it’s horrible he was assassinated. I wouldn’t expect the whole country to partake in vigils and moments of silence if a pundit on the left was executed.

I’m aware that sounds callous, but we simply can’t expect the whole country to unify around political figures after their death if they didn’t unify behind them during their life. We’ve seen that with the death of every political figure. ATS threads were evident of that.

I wouldn’t have a moment of silence at work if say Hillary Clinton died. I don’t respect her, and if she died, no matter the cause, it wouldn’t change my opinion. That goes for a lot of political figures. If someone killed her, I could say that’s wrong while still not admiring her as a person or sharing in someones grief that I don’t have.

I can’t say that is true for myself, and hold other people to a different standard, that’s not fair.

Yeah, man, own sitting on the fence, there's nothing wrong with it. 

I rationalize and do that all the time, but our individual moods and good faith don't necessarily translate to the extremes.

Comparing Grandma Nixon to Charlie... don't pull a muscle there bending over backwards, hell, half the DNC hates her for losing to Trump, haven't you been paying attention..

My apologies.

But at least we can manage to do a proper military parade to honour your President.  Unlike your massive Country.

I thought it was very touching that she actually held hands with the man she so obviously despises in their fake marriage?

Our military parades honor America, not Trump.
