Watch Your Back

So, they murdered Charlie Kirk.  They assassinated a guy who debates with dumb college students on college campuses.  Could you think of anyone less threatening than a debate team nerd?  Well, I guess when the previous victims are Catholic grade school kids then there is some room there.  But it does give you pause to imagine exactly what kind of people the “average” progressive zealot must be.  We are dealing with social outcasts so bereft of connection to normal society that prison or suicide seem like career opportunities.

So where does this go from here?  And that is the question.  The FBI, as usual, say they’re working diligently to find the narrative that led to this “heinous act.”  But why do I think all we’ll ever here will be “lone wolf” and the old reliable; schizophrenia?  What is needed is to find the circle of psychopaths that egg each other on until the craziest one takes the bait.  And when will we find out that the shooter worked for Black Rock and his father was a CIA contactor?  And of course, we’ll hear how all of this is just some crazy coincidence.  Oh, my aching head.

I thought our guys are in the FBI and CIA now.  Why isn’t there a report about the psycho kid who shot at Trump in Pennsylvania?  What’s taking so long?  It seems like just the same old story; “We’re following every lead!”  Well, bottom line; they’ve unleashed their crazies on all of us.  Between the trans crew and the rest of the Antifa crowd I expect to hear about a new murder every week for the foreseeable future.

Now Charlie Kirk’s mode of operation; large crowds of college kids on campus is obviously especially dangerous when a sniper can get you from a couple of hundred yards away.  But it would behoove any conservative that will be running or involved in public forums or debates to take very seriously the risk that now exists.  A piece of very thick, transparent, bullet proof plastic would have been a very valuable precaution for Charlie Kirk’s operation.  Of course, no defensive plan is perfect and a determined assassin can thwart any and all precautions.  But based on what we saw on Wednesday, conservatives are now targets for insane leftist sociopaths.  They really should consult with security experts before exposing themselves to the tender mercies of people who don’t have any.

I followed Charlie Kirk’s career haphazardly.  I saw several examples of his debate style and I could see how it would have a profound effect on young people unused to a non-leftist opinion being expressed out loud on a college campus.  I think he was having a good measure of success debunking leftist doctrine on campus.  It seems Gen Z (especially the boys) are quite receptive to right leaning ideas.  So, the maniac who killed Charlie picked a valuable target.  Let’s hope a Utahan jury finds him guilty and the death penalty is assigned and carried out as quickly as humanly possible.

But none of this helps his widowed wife and orphaned children.  Their misery should be blamed on the Gavin Newsom’s of the world who said attacking the right must be violent.  I think he should be on trial too.
