There has been no sources that has released details of the motive of the person that shot Charlie Kirk. However Pierre and Scheer seems to know exactly why it happened.

Pierre and Scheer had nothing to say about other school shooting that involved kids.

Seems like they’re setting up for the same rhetoric as last time.

      She nailed it, and all that other person saw was hate. I don’t know what that means, but she shouldn’t have to take that.

    That is what happened though and for many on the right that’s exactly where their minds went first

      Wire Article - Right-Wing Activists Are Targeting People for Allegedly Celebrating Charlie Kirk’s Death

      They got a website and a list going. The protect the women and children conservatives are awful quiet along with the anti-crime ones.

      A central hub of this activity is a website called Charlie’s Murderers, which was registered in the early evening on the day Kirk was shot and is revealing certain personal information, such as social media usernames and email addresses, of individuals the operators believe were celebrating the horrific murder. One of the first names listed on the sites was Rachel Gilmore, an independent journalist at Bubble Pop Media who wrote on X that she was “terrified to think of how far-right fans of Kirk, aching for more violence, could very well turn this into an even more radicalizing moment. Will they now believe their fears have been proven right and feel they have a right to ‘retaliate,’ regardless of who actually was behind the initial shooting?”

      That’s also where Trump immediately went before they even had a person of interest. They’re all just spreading misinformation to set up a narrative that justifies what they wanted to do in the first place.

    I know, it’s so frustrating how everyone is making things up. Like, we don’t know anything about this situation. Are we even sure he got shot? Maybe his neck just kinda did that all by itself. Look I’m just asking questions. All I’m saying is that we can’t be sure of anything anymore.

    Why do people say “political violence is never justified” and not “violence is never justified”

    Are some people more worthy of life because they speak about their political opinions to a lot of people?

      Because violence is a necessary tool to enforce your beliefs. E.g. one shouldn’t genocide. You ask the genocider to cease. They don’t. You use violence to communicate your desire.

    Seriously. Have you all realized how divided we are? This scares me, because if there is a war III, are we going to be united as Canadians???

    For the same reason they only recognize two sexualities, straight and political. Whatever they do is acceptable and proper, but should anyone else do it it’s unacceptable. This is why state-approved violence directed by politicians isn’t political.

    Scheer, Polievre and his beard are trying to cause bodily harm to Gilmore. Gilmore made a police report yesterday and hopefully is seeking more help (eg. Lawyering up at the very least). Gilmore is already on that website and getting hate mail and death threats because of Scheer and PP and his beards amplifying lies. I hope Gilmore sues TF out of Scheer, PP and the beard personally for millions and millions in damages.

    They either say it was a leftist, or they don’t say anything.

    The fact that the news agencies aren’t saying anything despite us knowing his name means he was probably MAGA and it’s best for them to keep it hidden.

    Out of all violence; political violence is the most justified.

    No matter which side is doing it, it’s for a reason so I’m not sure why they would say something so demonstrably false.

    Now I’m out of town so I’m missing the 9/11 festivals but at least there was something to put s smile on our faces so no idea why these politicians aren’t celebrating it.
