Just stop. Stop trying to place the blame for the kid who killed Charlie Kirk.

That is pretty much all I have seen everywhere. On the news you have the right trying to pin the blame , on here you have people trying to pin the blame. Just stop. We have a violence problem. We have a gun problem. We have a political problem. The "we" in this is our country. There are clear statistics that show that by far most of the violence comes from the right but that doesn't mean that we don't have that problem some also. That doesn't reflect on anyone here at all so just quit pushing and let the investigation play out.

1. As this event shows it's far to easy to "help yourself"

To whatever justice one feels is justified. It used to be far more rare than it has become now.

2. I'm having trouble understanding this.

Is this OP saying that the gunman bears no responsibility for the shots he fired? That society is to blame?

3. No, not at all.

Its that people are trying to place the blame on the right or the left.

4. Ah. Thank you. Sorry I misunderstood. n/t

6. I don't think this is a left vs right blame thing.

From what the most recent information released, The young man who is accused of this shooting is in a gay/trans relationship. His reasons for attacking Charlie Kirk seem to be that Kirk pretty much constantly attacked his lifestyle.

Unfortunately he decided to answer this Bigotry with Violence. He has turned Kirk into a martyr and destroyed his own life and future, and probably made the bigotry worse.

So I don't think him being a conservative or a liberal has much to do with this.
