Laughter at learning Charlie Kirk had been shot

In the past day social media has been filled with numerous examples of individuals on the left proudly posting videos and commentary on line celebrating gleefully the murder of Charlie Kirk (here, here, here, here, here for just a few examples). There is even now a webpage, Charlie’s Murderers, that is complying these examples, having already obtained more than 20,000 submissions.

One could reasonably argue that these videos and hateful comments do not represent the left and the Democratic Party. They are put out by “influencers” who want to impact opinion. Ordinary Democrats are simply not like that.

Sadly, that is not true. These leftist “influencers” represent without doubt the left’s base culture, and the picture to the right proves it. It comes from a video taken by a student in a class at North Texas University. Apparently the class had just learned that Kirk had been killed, and were joyfully laughing about it. The student recorded this reaction, and then in horror protested.

Why are we cheering for someone getting shot? … He has a family!

Her protests was immediately ridiculed by the others, who as the picture shows were happy to learn Kirk was killed for his political beliefs. Worse, according to the tweet, the teacher “singled her out and asked her to leave.” Watch for yourself:

What makes this video different than the videos posted by the leftwing influencers above is that these students weren’t posting anything. They were not trying to make a public point. They were just candidly responding to the news, and giving us a completely honest response. In sense their actions were an illustration of the old saying, “If you want to find out what a person is really like, watch what they do when they don’t know anyone is watching.”

What these students showed us here is that they, as representatives of the left, are cold, inhuman monsters who revel in the death of another human being.

North Texas is a decidedly leftist university that I have cited several times previously for its blacklisting and censorship of conservatives, by both the faculty and student body. Thus, it doesn’t surprise me that the general culture there celebrates the murder of a conservative.

The problem however isn’t merely at North Texas University. This poisonous hateful attitude permeates the left. And I am not simply speaking off the top of my hat. I’ve seen this same behavior hundreds of times, when I taught the New School in New York, when I was working in the film business, when as a journalist I attended press conferences, and even among my secular Jewish relatives. All of these communities are dominated by the left, and everyone there always assumes everyone present agrees with them. Thus, I would see them time after do exactly the same thing as the students above, unconsciously and routinely revealing their hatred of conservatives, thinking no one is watching. But like the girl on this video, I would watch, get disgusted like this girl, and frequently point out that malignity.

And just like this girl, I would find myself experiencing my own session of two-minute hate. And blacklisting would soon follow.

We have to recognize that this is the culture of the left. They are more than simply intolerant and close-minded. They have reached the point that they wish death on anyone who disagrees with them. And if you call them on it, their response is to 1) deny it, and 2) move to silence you in whatever manner they can.

In the case of Charlie Kirk, that silencing now required a bullet in the neck. And what we all should fear most is that the students smiling in that picture above are increasingly enthused by such a thing.

This is the case with the confessed killer of Charlie Kirk, 22-year-old Tyler Robinson. The evidence now strongly suggests that Robinson was apparently radicalized by the toxic, slanderous language of Antifa.

As noted by the Spirit of Christmas Present in Dickens’ The Christmas
Carol, “This boy is ignorance, this girl is want. Beware them both,
but most of all beware this boy.” Click for movie.

According to [Utah governor Spencer] Cox, one cartridge was inscribed with: “Hey fascist! Catch!” Another read: “Oh bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao, ciao, ciao.” The latter is are lyrics from the World War II-era Italian resistance song that has been adopted by Antifa as an unofficial anthem. It is frequently sung at their rallies and the song’s titled featured on their signs and slogans. In 2019, Washington state Antifa gunman Willem van Spronsen closed his manifesto with “Bella ciao” before attacking an ICE facility in Tacoma with a rifle and incendiary devices. He was shot dead while trying to ignite a propane tank close to the building and has since been glorified by Antifa as a hero and martyr.

Gov. Cox also verbally described (and did not show) arrow inscriptions: up arrow, right arrow, and three down arrow symbols. The three down arrows may be the Antifa “Iron Front” symbol, though this cannot be confirmed until images are released. The arrows, if lined up, could also be a reference to the Hellsdivers video game, in which the arrows represent a bomb weapon that can be used. The governor noted that other casings read: “If you read this you are gay lmao” and “Notices, bulges OWO what’s this?” The latter appears to be a reference to a furry online meme.

Cox’s clarification narrows the speculation: the casings bear clear Antifa references but, at this stage, do not appear to contain any direct mention of trans ideology.

In other words, it appears that Tyler Robinson was either linked with the leftist terrorist group Antifa, or had been strongly influenced by its radical hateful agenda, that considers anyone who simply disagrees with it to be a Nazi and a fascist.

We will I am sure learn more about Robinson in the coming days. The bottom line however remains: The culture of the left has become violently cancerous, and unless it reforms itself soon, our entire society will be obligated to cut it out.

And that removal will not be pretty and beneficial, to anyone.
