Aurora, IL

I am also told that at least one fire station had kept their flag lowered, and locked it in place, requiring the fire chief to come cut the lock. Also that there are people sneaking around lowering flags.

    I sorta love it. Everyone who treats him with empathy is basically shitting over everything he said and stood for. Its an awesome catch 22.

      everything he said and stood for

      Charlie Kirk stood for nothing besides Charlie Kirk. Kirk was a lying grifter. He would have loved everyone treating him with empathy, because he didn’t ever actually care about empathy generally; he cared about hurting other people to his own benefit, and that meant eliminating empathy towards them.

        Well I mean taking his words at face value. Either you should shrug your shoulders and say thats what he gets and his kids have learned something. That would be following the charlie kirk preaching. Or you say its horrible and express feelings he would deride for anyone else. So charlie kirk would not be empathetic to charlie kirk if he was not charlie kirk.

          I know exactly what you mean. I just don’t want people to lose sight of the fact that Charlie Kirk had no actual principles in any capacity. He said and did whatever helped him in that specific moment.

            Yeah I just bring it up because it makes me feel a bit better to see the lowered flags and such. Its like they are giving him the middle finger.
