Gov. Spencer Cox: This needs to be an inflection point. We were founded on the idea that we, as a society, would self governor. With the power to self govern comes the responsibility to self-correct when we have made mistakes. Our mistakes are plentiful. We could create a long list of mistakes our voters and politicians have made. Our latest mistake is to dehumanize and ignore people we disagree with. I would like to think that I stay above the frey, but I am sure that I have either crossed the line or I have been perceived as crossing the line. In both cases, that is never my intent. For that, I am sorry. I will not ask anyone else to take this stance, but I am going to strive to be more civil in my discourse. Those that act in kind, will get my respect. Those that don't will get my sympathy.

https://www.foxnews.com/media/late-night-hosts-stephen-colbert-jimmy-kimmel-mourn-death-charlie-kirk?dicbo=v2-ry3J81A It's interesting to see leftist leaders pumping the hate brakes. Whether this was just a chance for them to get on the soapbox to look good, or they're doing it to save their own skin, at least they're speaking like decent human beings right now, and for that we should all be thankful.

The moronic poster I've been quoting has this to say about that: Why do you keep believing you have answers and then display your complete IGNORANCE?

Your a ret#rd.....a man was killed by some whack a doddle on the left and all you can do here is defame HIM in order to defend your position in an augment on a public forum and charlie is the a$$hole........ ...This is proof that the left does not tolerate anything that is not in their play book, including the use of deadly force to exterminate that message and messenger...No wonder we can't not have any discourse on any topic on this forum without YOU people resorting to screaming into the wind,,,, Maybe you could back up some of those accusations you've made about Charlie with hard sources, i know the left does not like the use sources, but give it a try tough guy....

That's why I've been slowly giving respect to Bill Maher. He started pumping the brakes way before this.

Like you? You spent the last day pushing lies to demonize the man after he was murdered.

I have been critical of his opinions and will continue to be. No one deserves what happened to him.

Because it's true. This public rhetoric of giving endorsement and permission to violence is how democracy dies. Our society is flirting with it's own destruction and it's not coming from just the left either. There is already a right wing violent backlash to this unfolding public tragedy. The killing of Charlie Kirk is deepening the violent spiral, whipped up by partisan hatred and extremism

I think we have to seriously start asking if leftists are compatible with western civilization anymore.

Asŝhole has been caught!

I don't think most people go around assuming someone was a DEI hire. You have no way of knowing. But we do know that DEI exists, and that by it's very nature it's going to create situations where you have to reject candidates with more qualifications to prioritize race. Then, we should stop judging people based on race. Get rid of DEI. We won't hire based on race, and people won't be able to accuse people of being there because of their race. People freely gave a black person the top job in the country. They didn't need to be mandated to do so. That was almost two decades ago now.

The guy who supports Hamas killing children is upset because some drug dealers were killed. Now I've seen everything.

He is anti-immigration but pro illegal slave raised zucchini so he's conflicted

blackbird, I don't think Trump is very knowledgeable about biblical Christianity. There are probably all kinds of Christians who support him who aren't perfect Christians. But here is the reality. Last year there was an election. There were two candidates. One was a Democrat. And one was a Republican. Do I think all Republicans are saints who care deeply about biblical Christianity. Probably not. But we do know what Democrats support. There is no secret. So let's say for the sake of argument that Trump has totally conned American believers... at least they can say they were deceived. They voted for someone who promised to fight for them. There were two choices, blackbird. None are perfect but you pick who you think best aligns with what you believe in. You want to know why people support Trump. You want to know why conservatives all over the world are looking to Trump and America right now. It's really simple. There are many instances where the powers that be in many countries are telling us that 2 + 2 = 5. Then they censor people who say it's 4. And if they aren't censored they are scared to say it's 4. There might be a few people who aren't scared to say 2 + 2 = 4 but none of them are politicians. Then Trump comes along and says blatantly obvious things like 2 + 2 = 4. And he says it's ok to say blatantly obvious things like 2 + 2 = 4. And for all Trump's failings no one can take that away from him. He was the public figure who was wiling to do that. Parents who went to school boards to complain about things like critical race theory and gender ideology were targeted by the DOJ under Biden. These parents were compared to domestic terrorists. That was the other choice, blackbird.

I don't know everything he ever said, but I do know how he thinks. So, since you are so sure you can, do it. Find an exa.ple that explicitly says what you claim he says. It has to be a direct quote, in full context. Not a one off that is out.of context.or interpreted by some hack.

You can not post the in context version of those stances without disproving yourself.

At what point do people say, we can't do this anymore? What will it take for you? Or are you on the road to where nothing matters but the complete annihilation of the other side, whoever you imagine them to be? Melissa Hortment didn't say any of the polarizing things Kirk did. Quite the opposite.

I don't know if he was outraged or not. I would bet my life on it that CdnFox didn't celebrate on TikTok or trash them afterward, or imply they had it coming.

Remember all the people here defending Luigi Mangione or the Tesla arsonists. They have no issue at all with violence from their side. By they same token, they are all ready to condemn the people like the truckers as terrorists and a national security threat.

Why the constant sexual references? Has Robo proven disappointing or is the 1979 in your screen name the display on your last weigh in?

No. Your take is just stupid. What Kathy Griffin did was not a joke, and yet liberals pretended that it was. By condoning the sentiments of Kathy Griffin, Madonna, Depp, DeNiro, the cast of Hamilton, etc, the left were grooming their cultists to think of political killings as heroic.

Now I know you're from Alberta First off aging populations dump tons and tons of money into the economy. They're a drain on government tax resources but they're a huge power to the economy. So you kind of got that wrong Secondly Canada absolutely has enough of a demographic. The problem is we've never tried to address that and we have too many interprovincial trade barriers. As things stand it's easier and cheaper to bring in and sell wines in Alberta from California that it is British Columbia. We have basically made peace with the idea of shipping our raw resources to America and then buying back the products in a processed form We can stop doing that and if we do we have the market for our stuff. But nobody's actually doing that right now

You mean there are still people to this day who deny Hitler founded the NDP? It's phenomenal.

Well, that is sooooo much better.🤨

How do you explain Switzerland were there is an abundant of firearms, and yet homicide rate per 100000 is only .070 much lower than Japan's, one could also go the other way where there is less firearms but extremely high homicide rate... neither give any credence to your theory... https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1359178924000776 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firearms_regulation_in_Switzerland

Looks like the shooter grew up in a stable Christian home but like so many youngsters was radicalized to by the University system. Such a sad waste of TWO lives here.

And I am not sure one person on the left here like him has the humility, decency, or integrity to ever admit they were wrong and apologize.

OMG, the same stupid thoughts and prayers BS criticism. That is not all those children got. You are such a sick depraved person using dead children to make disgustingly untrue political points.

Good. She has no business being a civil servant.

The murder loving lunatics over at the Cess Pool, are trying to distance the killer from the left wing by using information about the father, not information about the killer. They're lowlife human beings.

Exactly. He was referring to the people that were protesting statues being removed.

And Trump was never calling the people marching as neo-Nazis fine people... that is the lie you and others keep pushing.

No, you have been demonizing him the last day now with lies.

This shooting has a lot in common with the assassination of MLK. Both shot from a distance with a rifle while addressing a crowd and expressing their opinions. Regardless of what we think of those opinions, neither is more acceptable than the other.

On the bullets: - Notices bulges, OWO what's this? - Hey Fascist! Catch! - Oh bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao ciao ciao - If you read this you are gay LMAO If you used the words "fascist", "Nazi", or "Hitler", you contributed to his evil. You helped him justify it. You have a responsibility here. Change your tone.

Press conference starting now

No doubt. There are all kinds of arguably unfair things that no doubt happen. But when the government comes in and micromanages who you can hire, they are actually mandating that these unfair things happen. The idea that you can look at numbers and create equality by changing outcomes is based on a huge logical fallacy. Things do not always even out. That is not always evidence of some societal injustice. I think I read somewhere recently that men make up over 90 percent of the prison population world wide. I don't think that is a societal injustice. But as for people being hired for connections or other unfair advantages that may exist, I think is preferable the some unfairness occurs based on free choice, rather than government actually mandating it occur. He was talking about DEI. He wasn't going to bring up straight white males.

This is the type of thinking that gave birth to DEI in the first place.... Your assuming everyone has the same qualifications, same experience, but that's not how life works... . in any job there is always many different people applying with a wide Varity of skills or experience...Why would you not give the job to the most qualified...white, black purple.... Why would you give preference to color or race ? ...Do you not see that as being a little racist...why not height, or weight, or IQ levels, or any of the millions other groups we could judge... I seen this practice for many years in the military, more qualified candidates passed over for promotion because of color and sex...i mean take a look for the last search for CDS...all the candidates were women. Not because there was not any qualified men but because it was time to break another barrier for women.... These policies do not work....But i guess we can not trust anyone to hire the best qualified person, so to make up for all these mistakes of the past it is only fair to force us to break best hiring practices and let in those that would not normally get a chance at promotion...

I've never disputed that. It wouldn't matter if the black guy was the most qualified, you would still say he was a DEI hire. At least be honest enough to admit it.

Apparently...meaning you don't actually have any evidence of anyone outright saying they approve of Charley Kirk's murder do you? I haven't been to the other forum for a long time and I'll bet you $10 I couldn't find anyone saying outright 'I approve of Charley Kirk's killing.' But of course you're the positive claimant here so doing that would on you. You do know how to take a screenshot and post it don't you?

In his defense, it is probably mindlessly copying and pasting. I doubt he ever watched Charlie Kirk.

And, in context: He was talking about women that were appointed to positions because of their skin color and not because of their ability. You quoted this so far out of context to make it sound as if he was expressly stating black women are all stupid. That wasn't the statement at all. The statement was how a racist policy gave them privileges they didn't earn.

Go figure, he didn't follow your instructions at all and just mindlessly quoted a lie (or knowling did it)

Well in that case you'll probably appreciate this quote because I think the author nailed it.... pay attention to capitalized words As I said previously...you are an lDIOT and IGNORAMUS.

No one on our side is calling for the complete annihilation of the other side. Charlie Kirk said things he believed in. Polarizing speech is another way for saying he disagreed with the left. That is a right in a democratic society. He wasn't calling for violence. No one here praised the death of Melissa Hortman. If you asked CdnFox to condemn the attack he would do so instantly. Meanwhile up here in Canada we have a Liberal party that can't sign a condemnation of antisemitism tabled by one of their members.

Oh, so now you're saying you're opposed to illegal immigration. That's funny given your balls deep support for endless asylum claims and stay in America waiting periods. Are you WITH the immigration laws or AGAINST them? Which one is it, robodizzy?

Lmao...this story was so faked. The entire thing is amateurish and filled with unbelievable claims.

Well, you are one of the biggest people on this particular forum abusing scripture for politics. Especially when it comes to your support for open borders madness and flaunting immigration law.

Had a cousin who got injured on a ride in the USA. Of course there was small print in the ride's waiver and my uncle needed to pay over $15K in the late 1970s just for emergency stuff and get him back to Canada. Where he lived with a droopy eyelid for several years until they ruled it was necessary surgery for his mental health and covered the surgery, It got done, he had to wait, but didn't drive the family bankrupt.
