Charlie Kirk shot at an event in Utah

[quintessentone]

Got any sources for that claim?



edited to explain:
Sources so context can be achieved.

I've already posted some of his messaging that some consider as hate speech, but I ask you would you think that his language against Islam can be considered hate speech by some?

----------------

"For example, in a May 2025 podcast episode, he stated: “Islam is not compatible with the West,” describing it as a “tyrannical” system that lacks individual liberties.
 He called for the abolition of Shariah Law in every U.S. state, claiming it poses a direct threat to American governance.
 
On X, he posted statements like: “Islam has conquest values. They seek to take over land and territory, and Europe is now a conquered continent,” suggesting that Muslim immigration leads to cultural erosion.
 
Kirk repeatedly warned of an “Islamic takeover” of Western societies, particularly in the U.S. and Europe."

The assassin said he believed Kirk was pushing hate and many others believe it too.

Kirk was an agitator and an instigator who held horrible beliefs and said terrible and hateful things but he didn't deserve to die for it.

Earlier in the thread you said: "Charlie Kirk believed that gay people should be stoned to death".

After having read Stephen Kings' apologies (which I've posted above and below):

"I apologize for saying Charlie Kirk advocated stoning gays. What he actually demonstrated was how some people cherry-pick Biblical passages." -Stephen King

"I have apologized. Charlie Kirk never advocated stoning gays to death. This is what I get for reading something on Twitter w/o fact-checking. Won't happen again." -Stephen King

...what do you have to say?
Do you stand by your statement: "Charlie Kirk believed that gay people should be stoned to death".

It's quite obvious that the truth obviously hurts some people.

Kirk's truth was not everyone's truth.

I would love to agree with this, but DoD employees (especially ANY service oath) are held to defending the constitution and much higher decorum standards. Not their families, but the person who took the oath or is employed by oath.

Believe it or not Hegseth can legally do this to DoD only.

You're right.
I forgot the decorum.

Where there's smoke there's fire.

"He also lashed out at the gay community, denouncing what he called the “LGBTQ agenda,” expressing opposition to same-sex marriage and suggesting that the Bible verse Leviticus 20:13, which endorses the execution of homosexuals, serves as “God’s perfect law when it comes to sexual matters.”
 “I don’t agree with your lifestyle,” Kirk told a gay Wisconsin college student last September. “I don’t think you should introduce yourself just based on your sexuality because that’s not who you are.”"

And just how back then in Biblical times do you think they would execute homosexuals?

I never claimed it was you, but rather your side.

Doesn't this just show then, that the left wants to silence people who have different opinions.

We don't yet know if the assassin is a Leftie or a Groyper.

Free speech and all that happy horse shit amirite?

These incessant attempts to justify his murder because "Well some people are offended by what he said" are fucking pathetic.

So apparently the march to a fucking civil war continues because you guys can't stop trying to justify it.

We do, you can try to change the narrative, but with most of leftists openly celebrating, it's pretty fucking clear.
