RIP Charlie Kirk

[Painthappy]

Okay, everyone said their peace on it I'd like to think. Those of you that can't seem to just let a thread lie and have to put in your two cents to jab at someone just because you don't agree one way or another. You're the problem. Thread locked.

MCB is a unique community with a unique tie holding us together. We all have widely varying politics, and with the state of things these days, I posit that it does none of us any good to air those politics. No one here is going to change anyone elses' mind, and no matter how valid you believe your viewpoint, at the end of an argument, all you're left with is bad feelings on both sides- and that doesn't help the community.

Solid insight, the thread holding us all together on this site is one universal truth. Everyone here loves paintball and paintball accessories. Our love for the sport and mutual respect for one another is what's kept this thread going to this point.

I hope we as Americans can find a similar universal truth again because how we've normalized framing political outsiders is sad.

Keep the thread open. Be good to one another, have some empathy.

Your still missing my point, I didn't come here to defend his views I honestly don't know what they are. If his name popped up here two days ago and people wanted to discuss his views i wouldnt take 2 seconds to read or join in. I didn't attack or defend Gaza, the left the right the independents... I didn't even mention possible motive or if I thought this was a "professional hit". I have zero interest in discussing any of that. All I am saying is this is not the time or the place for anyone to say "I condem this but ...." his children have no father...... could you imagine someone telling those kids or them having to read somewhere now or 20 years in the future.... "I am so sorry your daddy is dead BUT....." That's it...... I have no interest in discussing the man, I don't know anything about him other than he was murdered by a coward in front of his family......

Seriously. The justifications and backhanded comments are appalling. Folks need help getting their morality back.

[Eggy Weggs]

Seek help Riot. No point adding ugliness to ugliness.

[Eggy Weggs]

Try not justifying cold blooded cowardly murder.

He seems like an odd choice of target to me. I'm with a few of you guys and said "Charlie who?" When the news first came out. If he has had that little of an impact, besides being a shock I feel like choosing him as a target is odd.

If you look into some of things he used to talk about, it's not hard to come to terms that he was a polarizing figure.
the UA is is...weird times right now. there's a lot of massive anxiety, and political discourse. I this year alone, we had a presidential candidate with an assignation attempt that basically sealed the election right then and there, we had actual government officials killed not too long ago that were pretty much ignored.

It's not secret that people are being squeezed financially. Heck, I make enough money and and I'm shocked at prices of most things. This like this make populations turn to violence time and time again throughout history. People feel like there's no hope and that's the only thing left they have power over.

I disagree with Cv3.

Well said, Doc.
Also, there’s a lot of sissies around here

I gotta side with Swedge. MCB is a unique community with a unique tie holding us together. We all have widely varying politics, and with the state of things these days, I posit that it does none of us any good to air those politics. No one here is going to change anyone elses' mind, and no matter how valid you believe your viewpoint, at the end of an argument, all you're left with is bad feelings on both sides- and that doesn't help the community.

Speaking personally, I come to places like this specifically to get away from politics. I would respectfully vote that the thread be at least locked, if not deleted. This simply isn't the place for it.

Doc.

Shouldn't divide at all. Someone was murdered its evil plain and simple.

I am not responding to this. It’s fundamentally wrong on every regard. For one, Israel is an occupying power under international law. And secondly, there’s a reason why DNA ancestry tests are banned in Israel. It’s all a huge lie. In the most profound and fundamental way possible. But I digress. Unfortunately, too many people are propagandized. The two points I just stated should give you a starting point if you actually want to educate yourself. And I’ll give you a third: it’s called a Let It Happen (LIH) False Flag. Good night

One in five actual Israeli citizens are non-Jewish. Did the Hamas cowards ask how many of their own were murdered back in October? Those same cowards who hide behind civilians have sworn genocide, and they're funded by a theocracy who agrees with them. They tore down the facilities in Gaza that were built for them by Israel out of pure spite. No one has clean hands, but the ones calling for genocide are much louder in Gaza and Iran.
