Political violence is sometimes necessary in extreme situations. The problem is, while Kirk was a political influencer, he wasn’t a politician. His party might be in charge, but his power was merely social, not de jure.
This is getting downvoted btw. Some of y’all just don’t have shame. This country is better when we can civilly disagree and convey our disapproval for ideology we found problematic via VOTING, lobbying and political advocacy. We aren’t a 3rd world country

Agencies and agency regulations are part of the law still. To legislate means to make law. Regulations, while low on a hierarchy of authority, are binding laws. Kirk had 0 ties or authority to create any binding law

You’re justifying political violence and claiming it’s necessary. I know exactly what you’re saying. I’m telling you you’re ridiculous. My parents have practiced the law and been leftist for 50 years. They say our times are unprecedented in how they are decisive, but that they’ve had greater times of fear for rule of law/fascism.

Just quite simply. Political violence should ACTUALLY be reserved for times of necessity. I don’t acknowledge there aren’t times that’s the case. To claim that’s right now is irrational as fuck, and devoid any historical knowledge

You just keep using words that you don’t know the meaning of. I don’t think you know what “violence” is, I don’t think you know what “panicking” is, you quite literally glossed over the part where I’m essentially stating that Kirk WASN’T a legislator.

No, just simply put refusing to acknowledge it bc of how fucking hilariously dumb it is. So PV is now “necessary.” Yet this was misguided bc Kirk had no lawmaking power. What you’re failing to acknowledge is the downfall and ramifications of a political assassination of a high status political- a.la a Trump- would have. You, and we, don’t want to play that game

If you’re claiming our country is in such a state that political violence is actually necessary, you would be panicking, not “chilling.” I’d love to hear how you define and see those terms. Hell I’d love to hear an ounce of good reason PV is now necessary.

😭 Thinking assassination or harming people are the only forms of political violence. Again, for the 4th time since you are being an intentional dipshit, I STATED THAT CHARLIE KIRK WASN’T A LAW MAKER.

Burning down federal/state buildings depending on who is the offending party, destruction of property/equipment, etc. If masked men are coming to abduct someone, I’d say that’s pretty warranted to defend oneself.

Their perspective is relevant to a conversation of necessity. Considering they’re both law trained(as am I, just to a partial degree), and have decades of experience with political happenings. Deny that all you’d like, it’s true. Destruction of property/equipment isn’t necessarily political violence unless you wish to adopt a very broad definition. You’re going to need to elaborate on your masked men analogy. I’m pretty sure you’re attempting drawing it to fascism but not well
