I am currently writing what all has transpired and how it is effecting Capital Hill and DC in general. That being said when I saw this I wanted to share because no one should ever make the comments that this guy did and it wasnt just one he just kept going on and on about it. Thankfully the right decision was made here.
He started by saying
"we don’t know if this was a supporter shooting their gun off in celebration"
Mind you video was already out of him clearly getting hit. This guy though continued though further stating
“He was constantly pushing this sort of hate speech aimed at certain groups,” Dowd continued. “And I always go back to: Hateful thoughts lead to hateful words, which then lead to hateful actions. … You can’t say these awful words and not expect awful actions to take place.”

There’s a real sickness of being unable to grant basic human consideration to your opponents.
It’s impossible for many to just acknowledge that someone on the other side could possibly be a victim of anything.

To put it plainly everything is so upside down right now in DC after this and the internet went from so reasonable to vile hatred of human life and people on the right I've just been staying away.
Whats worse is I have seen this spreading to SN and I just can't deal with all this atm. There is a time and place to be critical of Charlie. Now is not the time. Not with what is going on.

It is frightening to see a man who is debating with college students- exercising freedom of speech and democracy - stating his views and openly engaging minds, shot down and killed by an assassin.
But do we feel equally uncomfortable about the numerous and increasing number of drone strikes the US has perpetrated against 'enemy combatant suspects' for decades now, in breach of international law, where an estimated 50 bystanders are killed for every enemy combatant suspect?
There is no trial, no court, no jurisdiction even- just the global tyranny of US power projection into nations where no war is declared between them and the US. Hundreds of military bases globally enable these hi tech remotely controlled killings in the name of US imperialism.

For the love of god STFU and get off my posts. There is a fucking time and place and your mind is so twisted to take this and twist it to fit your narriavte.
You have no fucking clue what is going on right now and how this just blew DC apart. Fuck you for having no God Damn class. You ignorant spineless parasite who only spews division and hate.
I used to tolerate you because I appreciated the debate and the point of view but this was to fucking far to fucking soon. Fucking touch grass, hug your loved ones and be happy to be alive. Fuck you for twisting this into something fitting for you.
Now please fuck off and stop posting on any of my posts ever again.

No.
I assert my freedom of speech in the face of your fascist bullying demands for censorship.
You want to silence me because cannot deal with the facts and issues raised.
Tough shit Paid Apoligist for imperialist war crimes and murder.
I will always welcome reasoned debate but you seem mostly incapable of it and tragically biased.
You have no right to demand anything from me.

No I told you to get off what I posted you can speak freely to whoever and whatever you want. You lack of understanding what the hell a fascist is shows how uneducated you are. I mean "Tough shit Paid Apoligist for imperialist war crimes and murder." Nice grammar and spelling. You do not but insult me you have for months when facts show your wrong you either disappear or double down on wilder out of touch and hand shit.
I want you to fuck off and leave me alone. I am going through a lot with everything going on. Something clearly you cannot understand.
Maybe just maybe idk I could possibly wild thought here have personal stuff going on and I dont need you random shit from across the globe thrown at me. Maybe I had to deal with a bomb threat today. Maybe there were threats made against me not for who I am or what I do but just because of the location that I work.
Before you get the crazy idea to say "hey you signed up for this when you chose your job" fuck no I didnt. I chose a bipartisan committee where I have great working relationships across the aisle to where my colleagues have reached out to check in so before you even start no I didnt chose this.

I am really really trying to show grace here but my God are you complete and utter failure to read what I wrote is truly one of a kind. Bless your heart it is truly a gift.
I clearly stated I was not interested, I told you to go away, I even practically spelled it out for you whats gone on the last 36 hours for me. Instead you continue uncalled for and honestly inappropriate accusations and shovel stuff that clearly given the macro environment for me does not matter to me at all.
You have been nothing but a child. Incapable of reading and critical thinking to go hmm maybe this isnt the time and this isnt the post this guy did just say he was dealing with a lot. Instead your dogmatic side is showing and its ugly.

Your government attacks people on a regular basis- in breach of international law.
Thousands of innocent bystanders have died from unlawful US drone strikes.

"we don’t know if this was a supporter shooting their gun off in celebration"
This comment is so absurd and insulting. It shows a couple things. The first being that this person has absolutely no clue how most right wing gun owners handle their firearms. Over the years I have found that most anti-gun people are extremely ignorant about this. They have been fed lies from activists for years about gun owners. And related to this, the idea that a dude in the crowd would accidentally hit Kirk is insane as well. The second thing it shows is the disdain this person has for Kirk.

You hit the nail on the head. Everyone I know Right or Left who owns a firearm is not extremely disciplined with it. They lock them away, keep them out of reach of kids, etc. Not a single person I know would shoot a gun off to celebrate the hat is something we only have seen with insurgencies or robberies. Its not normal.

He just feels small compared to Kirk. He knows Kirk would have crushed him in a debate.

I think moments like these, as tragic as they are shine a light on our hearts and the hearts of those around us. They expose areas where we need work. They expose evil in our hearts and the hearts of those around us. The emotions we feel are things we should examine and consider. Christians especially need to be doing this and remember the life and words of our Savior.

Now is a time for people to take a step back and look inside. We MUST be better. Charlie for better or worse never wavered in his beliefs and if you couldn't agree he never hated or held it against you. He still accepted and love you as Jesus would have wanted. Sure he held Christian beliefs and values but compared to 99% of the people I know on the hill he backed those values up.
