(25,614 posts)I cant stand the word empathy, actually. I think empathy is a made-up, new age term that does a lot of damage. Charlie Kirk

(43,215 posts)So it doesn't surprise me at all that Kirk said these vile things about George Floyd's murder.
The chickens came home to roost.

(10,486 posts)It's confusing as to which words Kirk spoke. I assume the first few sentences are not Kirk. But it is not clearly presented.

(27 posts)Do you know the meaning and purpose of quotation marks?
Cirsium
(4,281 posts)There are a couple where it shouldn't be, at the opening and at the closing, and another one missing later in the text (actually it is an image of text, so I will have to type it out.)
He was killed on camera. No one's family should have to witness that. It's unthinkably cruel that ppl would the go on the Internet and use their platform to say about an innocent man "I don't care that he's dead," "he's not a hero," "he's a scumbag," "he shouldn't be celebrated."
I'm talking about George Floyd. You thought I was talking about Charlie Kirk? No, those are actual quotes by Charlie Kirk about George Floyd. (It's) outrageous that anyone would say (such things) about the dead, right?

(10,486 posts)marks was incorrect. Blatantly so, but I didn't have time to explain in detail.

(52 posts)Had to parse the text a few times to figure it out. The inner quotes, aka what Charlie said, should be delineated with single quotes versus the outer double quotes for the entirety of the text from Erictastic.

(2,768 posts)After righteous ranting and chanting by Howard Beale( and much of the populace ),
"I'm mad as hell,and Im not gonna take it anymore!",the network execs were elated when ratngs went through the roof when Howard died on air.
That movie was from the 70s and prescient,I tell ya!
Anybody who hasn't seen it needs to asap.
