O/T Charlie Kirk killed in America

Wed Sep 10, 2025 8:54 pm

Suspect named Tyler Robinson has now been taken into custody. He is 22.

He will shortly be charged.





Dreadful news from the US tonight as right wing influencer Charlie Kirk has died after being shot in Utah.

Personally I don't identify with his view of politics at all and disagree with him on practically everything, but this is an awful thing that has happened.

In the same way I said the murder of Jo Cox was a disgrace, this is equally a disgrace.

A lot of division in politics all over the world but there really is no place for stuff like this.

I really hope a precedent hasn't been set.

RIP Charlie Kirk.

I agreed with a lot he said, not everything, but a lot. A difference of opinion shouldn’t make you a target. Worlds gone mental. I think this will spark something bigger in the US and it’s not going to be pretty.

I agreed with most of what he said. He was quite smug in being negative towards the schooling system in America and although he was insanely knowledgeable not everyone can retain and self teach that kind of intellectual stuff.

His views on divisive stuff, DEI, made up genders etc were pretty hard to argue with without being ignorant. It’s a shame, as I think his fame was born from the noise of the opposing views becoming so loud. He was merely sharing what a lot can’t be bothered to

Monty - with respect, don't want this thread to descend into a political debate. A man has lost his life and his kids have lost their father. Other threads to get into the politics.

Like I said, just as as I thought Jo Cox's murder was a disgrace I think the same about this.

Really really hope it doesn't set a precedent because it's always a great shame to see any life lost, especially for someone just giving their opinion.

Fair enough but he was addressing political issues and sadly that invited opposition but he was preapered to argue and debate other peoples views,
thats all i will say sadly his wife was there, and he 2 children have no father due to him standing for free speach. I shall say no more.

Fair point actually. Not for me to tell you what to post anyway so apologies, guess I'm just taken aback by this tragic event.

And it's shit like saying that people who don't agree with someone else are ignorant that causes most of it. I don't agree with 90% of his views and according to you that makes me ignorant, so be it. Thoughts & prayers for his family.

Think you’ve misinterpreted what I meant or I poorly worded it. I have only caught clips of his on reels and can’t claim to have watched millions of them at that, a handful. I was speaking from my perspective of that makes sense.

Either way, regardless of his views or anyone’s he didn’t deserve what he got. I can see how what he said so openly would incite extremist on both sides of the arguement

Well whoever did the shot is on the run.

It will be found and it will be shot no questions answered, no trail and no sentenced given. If it gets out what this sick person stands for it will cause civil unrest so therefore its better to take out before anything gets out.

At time of being shot he was in a heated debate with someone on mass shootings in usa

I'm devastated for his poor children. Those poor little ones having their beloved father stolen from them. Heartbreaking absolutely heartbreaking.

He wasn't just a political commentator he was a father a son a husband. He was loved by people who will never recover from this.

I hope his murderer is caught and dealt with swiftly.

Evil.

I was going to post something as I read this thread.

But you managed to put all my thoughts in a more eloquent way then I think I could.

So I'll just leave this:

RIP Charlie :bluebird:

Assassinated for being an advocate of free speech.
A deeply religious man, who invited young people who opposed his views to debate him in public. Not be anonymous keyboard warriors.
Both sides of the political spectrum need people like him. Both sides have seen people murdered,

One of his frequent quotes was “when people stop talking violence begins”. Never a truer word said.

Being murdered for being open on political views is just one thing that shows how low the value of life has become in society.

A young father taken from his young family.
RIP Charlie

Don't be so silly

Trump and his mob openly spread hate across America and Trump just the other day was posting about going into Chicago to sort the place out with his far right nonsense using guns if necessary

Thats the reality

People burning down hotels with migrants in them

Who's responsible for that? The lefties ?

Nope , it was stupid ignorant idiots who wanted to take the law into their own hands

Just shows how weak minded they are that they have to resort to violence because they cannot win a debate against him.

Pathetic, I hope they get what they deserve.

Re: O/T Charlie Kirk killed in America

The problem with politics now is that everyone can put their own agenda out there on social media and stir things up for example (if you speak out about migration some say you are a fat right Nazis),and people will defend their party even if they are totally wrong ,and some people can't take losing the debate and they get really nasty quick , social media is a big problem you can get your views out there right or wrong in seconds

He was a right horrible far right nutcase

Thats no excuse to kill him but thats what he was

The Labour MP Jo Cox was murdered by a white nazi here in the UK

No excuse for any of it

I liked him and i'm not bothered who did or didn't like him on here.

That's the great thing, everyone can have different opinions... shooting a man because of a different view, just shows how weak that person is.

Re: O/T Charlie Kirk killed in America

Going to be as civil as I can but when a guy who — amongst other disgusting things — believed that shootings were worth it so that he could have a gun gets shot I’m hardly going to cry over it.

I doubt that when he said shootings were worth it he meant at people like him and his friends surrounded by armed entourages or their children in expensive private schools, no, he meant those from more disadvantaged backgrounds or those — like the majority of us on here — children who went to state-run schools.

Feel sorry for his two children but beyond that I’m not shedding any tears.
