Love this comment popping up giving the post-Charlie Kirk fiascos and hand-wringing this week.

Read this post which was in response to the Charlie Kirk murder and his commitment to debate with the left side of views. I’ll leave it here without any further comment

“Give them a break.

Leftists are genuinely surprised by his tactics. They thought that you win arguments by screaming , yelling, waving derogatory signs and setting things on fire.

They really didn't know any better.”

And that’s basically what they do here. What has surprised me is just how many there are.

Lol, spoken like two gents whose arguments of ideas are regularly defeated - in words on a forum - without any screaming, yelling, signs or protests.

In response to many things said here

If you saw the Charlie Kirk memorial service and actually listened to VP Vance and President Trump speak, and also Erika Kirk, we should all lament at weak politicians we have on both sides. An activist PM who speaks like he is, weak and timid, coupled with Bowen , Wong and Chalmers, let’s not forget Sussan Ley and most of her side either, none of them speak with passion and authority and Australia is poorer for it.

Not sure how we overcome what we have, but the lurch to the left hasn’t been successful, and with a weak opposition it seems there is more poor economic and financial pain to come.

What exactly about Trump is strong?

She’s a better Christian than I am. Incredible woman.

She knows the prosecutors are seeking the death penalty for the murderer and she’s not opposing it.


Charlie Kirk’s widow has said she wants to let the government decide whether her husband’s accused killer will receive the death penalty, saying she does not want his blood on her “ledger.”
“I’ll be honest,” she continued. “I told our lawyer, I want the government to decide this. I do not want that man’s blood on my ledger.”

She’s not supporting it either.

She doesn’t need to. She already knows that the prosecution is seeking the death penalty. If she wanted to truly demonstrate forgiveness she would have been going out of her way to oppose the death penalty. She’s having it both ways by claiming she forgives the murderer while doing nothing to oppose him being killed. It’s theatrics.

She doesn't need to have a public opinion.

What the widow said there was what should be said in these circumstances.

The dickhead that shot him obviously didn't think of the consequences through his actions.

His a murderer that could have quite easily killed other innocent people there that day if he missed the target.

Leaving it up to the prosecution is how it should be for the Death Penalty.

She expressed her opinion in public. She’s leaving it up to the government. That means she is ok if the government gives the murderer the death penalty (which she already knew they were seeking) even though she “forgives” him. Actions speak louder than words.
