You gonna change your cancer care because some wokie at my company posted F Charlie Kirk?

I'm thinking the bosses at your company might want to fire someone doing that.... I wasn't saying you should quit. It's easy enough to just not hang out with that person for other employees.

Of course if you are in a blue state then they may not care.... unless of course it was a liberal guy that got whacked and a conservative employee said blank the dead liberal... then they'd fire the guy.

I'm not sure who started cancel culture, but it dates back to at least 9/11, when Team Red canceled The Dixie Chicks. I don't like the idea of canceling people for political speech. I kinda like the idea of letting them talk and expose themselves.

Yeah, in times of war we don't need people giving aid or comfort to the enemy so people that had common sense had a problem with the woke dixie chicks and quit buying their records and going to their concerts for a few years. No worries, they recovered and are all multi-millionaires living on easy street,

If Trump does not see to it that this case is taken over by the feds and they don't go after all these nutjobs that knew about this and helped the shooter, then Trump is a failure on this issue and some of his supporters need to tell him so.

That's the problem in this country.... very little if any consequences for evil doers, and so we will continue to have more and more evil from all quarters.

Watching a video that I can share if you like, it looks like Charlie possibly had on a chest plate or thin armored vest and was struck below the neck in the collar bone area and the bullet or fragment was deflected up and into his neck creating a larger entrance wound and no exit wound.

Must be a doctored up video... on the day all this happened one could tell he was just wearing a t-shirt with nothing under it.

Maybe, maybe not. Have a look see for yourself.

I think if it did happen, they'd be more likely to get the person help, have company wide tolerance meetings, etc.

Yet again, Trump hinting he's not a big fan of our constitutional style of gov't.

It doesn't matter what he likes... the 22nd Amendment to the US Constitution bars him from a 3rd term

In order to serve a 3rd term Congress has to repeal the 22 Amendment and then 36 states have to ratify the change all before he runs for a third term and none of that is going to happen .

He'll be too old after his second term anyway so it's a moot point

Who really cares? The guy died, and speculating about this changes nothing.

You cannot "help" someone like that thru anything man's medical science has to offer (this includes shrinks)

People that support killing innocent little babies cannot be helped either.... those celebrating baby killing will kill you too if they need to do so in order to stay out of trouble.

Kind of interesting how the people who were crying for so long about "canceling" are suddenly in the mood for doing as much "canceling" as they can.
How quickly the tide changes.

As for the Kirk theory: We're expected to believe Trumps ear got hit by a .223 at 430 feet and was completely healed without trace of injury in a few weeks, but Kirk's neck was blown wide open at 600 feet from shrapnel from a .30, which starts out only .007" bigger than the .223?
The math doesn't add up in either scenario.

It's been proven medically that the bullet grazed his ear.... that's where the blood came from.

600 feet is not that far.... any decent deer hunter with a scope can hit targets from that range.
No special training needed... just a little practice.

Even more likely when criminals get elected POTUS by their sycophants.

If crime doesn't even stop you from being POTUS, what's the incentive to behave?

Turn about is fair play as they say.... the left started cancel culture and now they get to experience what it's like.
