Kirk said Floyd was a scumbag.

[Frankenstein]

Not excusing Floyds criminal behavior in any way. He did cause harm to a comparatively small number of people. However, Kirk's circle of damage was much wider. His rhetoric harmed countless numbers of people who just wanted to be left alone.

Left alone?

 

[80zephyr]

Many think Kirk was a scumbag.

Because they believed the propaganda.

 

[Frankenstein]

You would be right if kirks rhetoric didn't become actions.

Actions like getting shot? You need to quit while you are behind, child!

 

[Soupnazi630]

You would be right if kirks rhetoric didn't become actions.

It did not

You would be right if kirks rhetoric didn't become actions.

Vague response.

 

[80zephyr]

You would be right if kirks rhetoric didn't become actions.

Using that logic, everyone would have to become mute.

 

[Soupnazi630]

You would be right if kirks rhetoric didn't become actions.

You cannot offer a single piece of evidence to support that stupid claim

 

[iamwhatiseem]

Is this a serious thread?
How in the hell, and in what world was George Floyd - NOT - a scumbag???
WTF?

 

[Mac-7]

Kirk said Floyd was a scumbag, but didn't deserve to die. His followers didn't have a problem with that remark. What would the response be if someone said Kirk was a scumbag but didn't deserve to die? How do those two remarks differ? Why is one acceptable but not the other?

What were Floyd’s redeeming qualities?

Was he successful person in any shape or form?

No

He was a petty criminal and drug abuser

Charlie Kirk was the opposite in every way

Indeed by being the catalyst for riots that caused billions of dollars in property damage and many lives the world would have been better off if Floyd never existed

Kirk otoh is an inspiration for up to a billion people worldwide

 

[BULLDOG]

Kirk harmed NO ONE.

he imposed on NO ONE that wanted to be left alone

Kirk's method included inflammatory language, misinformation, conspiracy amplification, us vs them framing, and selective engagement. He was a hate filled divider.

Google: "Before his death in 2020, George Floyd was a 46-year-old man from Houston, Texas, who had moved to Minneapolis in 2014 to seek better employment opportunities. He worked as a truck driver, bouncer, and at a Salvation Army shelter, where he was known for being a supportive community member. Floyd was also a former athlete who played football and basketball in high school and college. He had faced past legal issues but after his release from prison in 2013, he served as a mentor and sought to rebuild his life. "

That is ALL subjective opinion and very stupid opnion.

He united people rather thhan encouraging an echo chamber which you seem to wish for

You cannot support any of your claims

Kirk was none of that unless you believe the lies spread by Kirk haters

I had a person in my church the week before last tell me that Kirk said black people should not be allowed to vote

And I could tell he was sincere instead of just a typical lying lib spreading bs

I rejected the claim out of hand

This week it came up again and the person admitted he was wrong

Like the great man Ronald Reagan said, the trouble with libs is they dont know how much they dont know

The lies about Kirk that was spread by the Left was a strong contributing factor to his murder.

All he did was challenge the leftist viewpoint that colleges spew by presenting an opposing opinion.

The us vs them framing is what leftists are doing as they scream fascist! Hitler! Racist! Nazi! at everyone who doesn’t kowtow to far-liberalism.

Absolutely

 

[westwall]

Floyd and Co. pressed a gun in a pregnant woman's stomach. That qualifies as a scumbag in my book.

But in bulldoggys world, that makes him a great person.

 

[pknopp]

But in bulldoggys world, that makes him a great person.

Being found guilty of sexual assault does in my book also.

 

[MarathonMike]

How do those two remarks differ?

The remarks don't differ, the individuals differ greatly. Hope that helps you understand.

Lets see it if it's out their, points of view you disagree with is not misinformation, or inflammatory, because you say so, give me a big fat for instance.
