What kind of world are we living in? Even during the heat of the turbulent '60s, I don't remember it being this violent. People have no toleration for people who have different opinions.

    All actions defined as criminal in a free society are actions involving force—and only such actions are answered by force.

    Do not be misled by sloppy expressions such as "A murderer commits a crime against society." It is not society that a murderer murders, but an individual man. It is not a social right that he breaks, but an individual right. He is not punished for hurting a collective—he has not hurt a whole collective—he has hurt one man. If a criminal robs ten men—it is still not "society" that he has robbed, but ten individuals. There are no "crimes against society"—all crimes are committed against specific men, against individuals. And it is precisely the duty of a proper social system and of a proper government to protect an individual against criminal attack—against force.

    The woke have decided that no white people must be allowed to have reliable protection of their lives, because anti-racism. This belief system makes the woke traitors to all mankind and untrustworthy even to coexist with us.

    The only rational response to events like the murder of Charlie Kirk is to stop tolerating the ideas that produced it and their believers. I don't mean attack anybody, I do mean treat them as outlaws in the feudal sense.

    My concern is not who did it, or why...my concern is who is qualified to replace him?

    Charlie was a brilliant debater and an unstoppable force in the conservative movement.

      I want the perp as the guest of honor at a grand necktie party.

      That said, your point is well taken as who will (can) take Kirk's place? I hope Turning Point does not fade away as the Marxist indoctrinators would like.
