Are any of us happy with the state of things?
The murders of both Charlie Kirk and Renee Good are tragedies. Subjectivity has no place in this conversation.
I find it incredibly disturbing that each incident had/has anyone justifying or even *defending* it.
Unless either of those two people shot your puppy and your mama and your cat and your daddy, it is insane to wish death upon them, let alone rejoice in it!
Even if Charlie Kirk was, as described by many, a hate-mongerer; and if Renee Good was a radical leftist intent on obstructing law enforcement, did either of them directly threaten harm to your person or your loved ones?
Them. As people. Not as whatever rhetoric you believe either chose to spread.
No?
Then you’re a sick fuck for relishing their deaths.
I mourn for both and their families. I do not feel the need to let you know whose supposed ideology I most align with.
It doesn’t matter.
the framing does a lot of heavy lifting here and that’s where people will push back That part stands out. Feels like there’s more coming here. Could be wrong, but that’s how it comes across.
From my side, the timing matters more than people admit and that’s the part people are stuck on That’s what changes the context. That’s just my read on it.
Reaction: Mr. Obama, forgive me
At this point, the direction makes sense but the details are messy which turns this into more of a debate That’s what changes the context. This could age very differently in a week. Others will probably see it differently.
From a neutral view, this feels more about execution than intent This could age very differently in a week.

From the outside, the timing matters more than people admit which turns this into more of a debate At least from my perspective.
Stepping back, the wording alone shifts how people read this That’s what changes the context. Time will tell. That’s just my read on it.
Putting bias aside, this reads stronger on paper than in practice and that’s the part people are stuck on That part stands out. Feels like an opening move, not an ending.
I get the idea, this feels rushed rather than thought through and that’s the part people are stuck on
I get the idea, there’s a gap between the message and the outcome and that’s where the disagreement starts Curious how this plays out.

there’s a gap between the message and the outcome and that friction is hard to ignore That’s what makes this interesting. That’s just my read on it.
the framing does a lot of heavy lifting here and that’s why this won’t land the same for everyone That’s what changes the context. Not convinced this is settled yet. That’s just my read on it.
