Why Did Tyler Robinson Kill Charlie Kirk?
“Why?
Why did I do it?
Yeah.
I had enough of his hatred. Some hate can’t be negotiated out.”
In a land chock full of guns hatred has become a currency. A young American man, from a Mormon family in Utah, who grew up around guns, I mean the family embraced a love of guns, used that weapon of choice to kill another man. This is an American story. Guns and hatred. The culture worships guns. Every movie and video game is packed with automatic weaponry. Why did Tyler Robinson kill Charlie Kirk? It’s pretty bloody obvious. The why was Kirk’s expressed and implicit hatred of non-white and different folk in America.
In Charlie Kirk’s Own Words
“Happening all the time in urban America, prowling Blacks go around for fun to go target white people, that’s a fact. It’s happening more and more.

If I’m dealing with somebody in customer service who’s a moronic Black woman, I wonder is she there because of her excellence, or is she there because of affirmative action?

If we would have said that Joy Reid and Michelle Obama and Sheila Jackson Lee and Ketanji Brown Jackson were affirmative action picks, we would have been called racists. Now they’re coming out and they’re saying it for us … You do not have the brain processing power to otherwise be taken really seriously. You had to go steal a white person’s slot to go be taken somewhat seriously.”

Hatred, Guns & The Murder Of Charlie Kirk
These are not the words of someone wanting to heal the racial divide in America! The old saying goes – live by the sword, die by the sword. In the United States, it is a gun, of course; this is where the culture worships guns. You don’t get to go around slagging off those that you don’t like and then, when in a politically violent place you get taken down, suddenly, become a martyred saint. Kirk’s own words and celebrity made him a target. Killing is wrong. So, is the backward thinking of people like Charlie Kirk. It is morally wrong, racist and white supremacist. The world does not need entitled white folk grifting off the fears and anxieties of white America.
Wrong Headed America
“What is interesting is the normalising of racist, right wing attitudes in America, these days. Charlie Kirk having been shot dead in the great tradition of American political violence is enjoying a eulogising character enhancement period. Disparaging black people and women is now par for the course in the USA, it seems. Charlie did it with a smile, they say, as if this makes the content of what he said OK. Going around telling college students that it is OK to denigrate African Americans and uphold white supremacist views is now an accepted position, according to the corporate media in the US.”
