So far, there is no suspect in custody. It isn't known who did it. I'm reading reports of the Utah Speaker saying he didn't make it.

It could be a tipping pointWhat sucks is that this was a type of open debate against people with different views in a manner to engage with people with different views. It's a good form of debate that should be done more, but because of this it won't be as common.
I keep thinking of Bobby Kennedy. Temperature of the country, not comparing the men. Opinions will vary. Right now though a good man has died.This... has been... one hell of a couple a days with the news. And of course even if I didn't like the man this is not how our differences should be solved and feel for his family tonight. Political violence has no place in America.
Yes. This is fucked. By every definition and I am afraid as Oried hinted may spark somthing... I just hope Pandoras box wasn't opened a hour ago...Absolutely disgusting. Political violence should not exist in free and democratic societies like America. Set a precedent with the perpetrator to deter future crackheads.
As graphic as it gets folks. Do not watch it if you don’t want it burned into your brain forever. It will haunt you. You have been warned.Here is the video of him being shot. Don't think it was posted. It goes without saying... its uh... very graphic. A lot of blood...
This is unacceptable.
Like I said. If conservative America is feeling even half of what I am feeling right now…things are going to go to hell.Absolute tragedy... I'd consider myself a level headed individual and open minded when in discourse with those with left sided political views. If the amount of anger and hate this has caused to rise in my heart against the left is any indicator on how those who are hard line right, I'd say this won't go unanswered. I will pray for peace even though my heart seeks War.
AP News is reporting that officials in Utah are still searching for the suspect. This is absolutely wild- something I'd expect to hear about in Latin America instead of the United States. Unfortunately, it seems that our society is becoming accustomed to violence to solve political disputes.

Oh yes, this is absolutely insane. So were the attacks on Trump, Nancy Pelosi's husband, etc. When people start to feel that violence is the only way to "solve" political disagreements, things can quickly spiral out of control. Thankfully, the United States has a stronger history of condemning such violence compared to many nations in the Global South, but this is still very concerning.Charlie Kirk advocated open debate and dialogue. Voter turnout and political involvement.
And this is the response.
This is what I am worried about and hope Pandoras Box wasn't just opened...Political violence can spiral.
We might be past the point of cool heads. This one is REALLY bad.I truly am biting my tongue a lot out of respect for the premise against political violence, I just ask everyone keep a cool head and avoid perpetuating any cycles. Political violence can spiral.
