"To a supremacist society, most of us are acceptable losses. Charlie Kirk is not. To a supremacist society, guns are allowed to kill most of us, and the pundits can debate later how sad our deaths were. But guns were not supposed to kill Charlie Kirk." www.the-reframe.com/acceptable-l ...

You know who I feel bad for? The kids. Two of them. Perfectly innocent of all this.

They were victims of a school shooting in Colorado, in one of our nation's many, many, many school shootings, a subset of our nation's many many many mass shootings, a subset of our nation's many many many gun deaths. The two victims are in critical condition. The shooter, a young white man who had been "radicalized through an extremist network," killed himself. Many such cases.

Which kids did you think I meant?

Oh, also on the exact same day as the kids were shot by a radicalized white supremacist, Charlie Kirk was murdered in Orem, Utah. This was also a school shooting. Like I said, they are extremely common. I also feel bad for Kirk's kids, for what it is worth, though I think everyone else already has those bases thoroughly covered. Nevertheless I feel compelled to mention it, because if I don't, then it will be assumed by many that this must mean I am very glad that they watched their father Charlie Kirk be murdered horribly by a gun, as Charlie Kirk warned us might be necessary.

For the record, I am not glad about that.

Charlie Kirk is an acceptable loss.

The 3 kids that were shot and killed In Colorado
By a 16 year old coward with a gun on the same day were not an acceptable loss.

"By a 16 year old coward with a gun on the same day were not an acceptable loss."

Can we honestly refer to a 16 year old a coward? Disturbed boy is probably more accurate!

While true its so sad and unfortunate for all involved, the reality is non-suicide deaths by fire arm are typically black on black.

Why does America ignore this?

And who does the deeming?

Well given gun violence is typically in blue cities. I would say Democrats can change it but choose not too, for some confusing reason.

Charlie Kirk is an acceptable loss.

Are black people? Or do you just hate White people that you disagree with?
