There is no place for violence in American political life. As such, even though I vehemently opposed pretty much everything Charlie Kirk believes, I still wish him well and hope he makes a full recovery from his shooting today.
Charlie Kirk
I — against my will — have seen the shooting footage and things look pretty dire. It’s tough to recover from that type of head-on attack to the jugular with a bullet. Yikes.
This reminds us, yet again, the need for common sense gun control. We just have too many guns floating around and too many hot heated, and or crazy, people looking for an excuse to use them. My biggest fear is, of course, that someone on the Right will see this attack as an excuse to come after people on the center-Left.
And, what’s more, Trump is so autocratic, I could even see him doing something really crazy, using this shooting as a pretext.
Anyway, I can’t predict the future. I wish Charlie Kirk well.
