I didn't ask a question.

Then your comment with an implied expectation of response - because you NEVER are satisfied unless someone reacts to you. Your reputation in that matter precedes you.
 
There was a documentary on TV recently about the biker gangs. Hells Angels, Indian etc and they appeared to be casually and incredibly violent. Until I saw that I had the impression that they were a bunch of Teddy Boys that were locked in time and never moved on to a car. Not so it seems. They were fond of claiming that they were not criminals but some of their members were! Apparently the Infidels Motorcycle Gang, an anti-Islamist group, are providing security in Gaza according to the BBC.

I suppose that with 350 million people you can expect a few of them to have the opinion that they like to be liked but it isn't essential. TV, film, the internet and drugs must have some influence in the violence. It is said that long term users of marijuana will tend to become violent. Remember that old travel brochure slogan? "Come to the USA, where we shoot to kill"
 
Many Biker groups have been formed by U.S. military veterans. They are frequently benevolent. However, the TV portrayals of violent groups DOES have a basis in fact.
 
Your choices are to stay home and hope you stay lucky
If you are in the building/s targeted, and you elect to stay you are a fool or being held hostage by Hamas.
This is how far the Leftists will go to silence someone who was a threat to them because of his excellent logic and his effectiveness at rebuttals of Leftist arguments.
The behavior of the Democrat members of the house yesterday when Johnson asked for a moment of silence was totally disgusting. They really showed their colors. Absolute pieces of dog poo.

Whoa! The prodigal son has returned.

Part of me knows you are correct, Col, but it is still a very tough loss. The guy was popular among conservatives, eloquent, and potentially someone who COULD have run for President based on his political stance.
So this chap - who is virtually unknown outside the USA, could have been president? I heard that the orange man was going to change the law so he can have a third term.
We had that bloke's wife on the telly today, she's a tasty bit of stuff, I'm sure she'll be popular now she's on the market. Maybe she will take up the baton and run for president, I'd vote for her.

Good to see you back Colin but not so sure about the comments on Charlie's widow.

One thing disappointed me following this sad event was when the Governor of Utah was stood with a line of officials behind him and he confirmed that the shooter was in custody. From the TV reports shown in the UK he said it was a black day for Utah and a black day for America but he mentioned no thoughts at all on Charlie's wife, children, or family. I thought that should have been the primary concern and more important at that time ,than Utah and America.

AB, I fail to see the point of yet another of your meaningless pictures. May I ask why you posted pictures of the King's coronation crowds? Its lost on me I'm afraid.

Col, when Princess Diana died, that was the death of someone who once could have been Queen Consort. When people downplayed her death and spoke bad things about her, did you find such negative comments to be distasteful?

Speaking of someone's (very recently turned) widow in such a salacious way speaks ill of your morals and upbringing. Your mama should have smacked your behind more often if you spoke so unkindly of others.

The 2nd video clip in AB's post CLEARLY shows they were rallying for Charlie Kirk. Go ahead and be your hate-filled self, Col. You have shown that you haven't changed a bit.

Then there was Kamala Harris - and I recall you not claiming to know much about her, either - but she DID run for President. She lost - but you see, we have this strange egalitarian idea that ANYONE can run for President as long as they meet the qualifications of age & citizenship. So maybe you didn't know of Charlie Kirk. But the way you talk, you don't think ANYONE in the USA is worth your attention, so why SHOULD you have known about Charlie Kirk? Why should you have cared when you only care to know enough to toss aspersions our way? Sorry, Col, but (speaking as a MEMBER!!!), back off about Charlie Kirk and his widow. Your impoliteness crossed a freshly sensitive line.

Since I'm a moderator, I am honor-bound to not try to ignore you. But since I am also a person with feelings, I want you to know that you have triggered a cognitive dissonance within me involving the difficulty in turning the other cheek when you so clearly deserve a more substantial and unpleasant fate.

That's why you are so ill informed regarding US politics;) You need to find a news source that doesn't suffer from TDS.
@AccessBlaster I'm surprised that Charlie Kirk was so popular in the UK. He is not generally well known in the US because his work is targeted at college and high school students although I see him interviewed a couple of times each year.

Typically crude and totally inappropriate.
 
It's been a really disturbing week to say the least. I don't think I have ever felt the spiritual weight of what happened affect me as much as this particular historical event of political violence. I know I'm not the only one. Even the mafia has better morals than that and would at least do it in secret and certainly not in front of the guys family. This shooter made a spectacle out of it right in front of his wife and young kids. The shooter sympathizers have lost their collective minds if they think that Charlie was racist or fascist in any way. He was only labeled that because he is a conservative and doesn't have the same point of view on important issues like abortion, pardoning all J6'ers, and the 1st and 2nd amendment and capitalism. It is disgraceful to think that supporting the 2nd amendment to our constitution somehow makes him deserve this horrific act of violence, but this is what believing repeated lies about someone who actually makes a difference can do. It encourages hatred for others beliefs and words they speak. These are not hateful words mind you, they are principled beliefs and points of view that are shared by a large amount of the population. If he had said anything hateful, I would be the first to call him out on it. He never said anything that deserved this sort of reaction.

There are many people that die from violent acts, but they don't come close to having the political influence and background of actually being a voice of reason in the lions den of our campus culture in an attempt to change young minds and undo the wicked things they are all being indoctrinated to believe. He walked the walk and wasn't afraid of the massive amounts of threats that no normal victim of crime ever has to deal with. If you are an effective political influencer, you have a target on your head from the those who have been indoctrinated into dehumanizing those they disagree with.

The saddest thing beyond the suffering of his wife and eventually his kids as they get older is that he had a pretty good chance of becoming president one day. I know I'm not alone on this one either. No one has the funds for super good security like our secret service this early in a political career. He had some basic security, but obviously not nearly enough to handle such an open event like the one in Utah. I'm guessing that in the future, if one has such a high level of threats, they will be forced to enter the bullet proof plexiglass booth as they do their public events.

You are correct. You are not alone in that idea. He would have made a good candidate and would probably have chewed up and spit out any debate opponents.
 
Charlie was in no way hateful but the left calls all speech they disagree with hate speech. They throw the terms fascist and racist around so loosely that the terms have no meaning anymore. Charlie was targeted because he was effective. He was actually making progress in breaking college kids out of the swill of propaganda and hate that they are subjected to for the entire four years of college and even starting much younger. He was a good man and there aren't many political figures I would say that about. Maybe he was still a good man even after running his foundation for more than 10 years because he wasn't actually a politician which seems to corrupt even the best of people once they get that little taste of power. Charlie had no power. All he ever did was talk to young people.

The reaction to his murder by people on the left has been downright disgusting. And they call Trump supporters names. Every one of you who was happy that the assassination succeeded should hang your head in shame. There is no label disgusting enough to apply to the members of Congress who shouted down Johnson as he tried to get the house to be quiet for a moment of prayer. My opinion of Democrat politicians reached an all time low when I saw that hateful display.

'Mama'? How quaint. In the UK we have a 'Mum'.
BTW you should have heard what my father used to say about the Yanks. It makes my comments pale into insignificance.

Oh, and those pictures have nothing to do with Charlie thingy. We are too busy demonstrating about other issues. Most people don't care what happens in the USA.

As for Princess Di. That was a marriage doomed from the start, she was miserable from day one. Her sole purpose was to produce a son, which she did (we don't really count Harry, for obvious reasons). We all knew Diane was playing around as we all knew Charles was with Camilla. Charles was miserable whilst waiting for the Queen to abdicate or die.
