So Colin Kaepernick takes major #### for taking a knee at NFL games during the anthem for black people being shot and murdered by cops and is ridiculed and vilified by Americans refusing to acknowledge racism, but it’s OK to have ceremonies for a vile white supremacist at football games? America is a shthole.

Teams who didn't honor Charlie went 4-2 this week. Those who did went 3-7. So yeah honoring a loser brought about losses, funny #### really.

After some soul searching the past few days, I've come to the conclusion that I still believe political violence is unequivocally wrong in a civilized society.
However, I would be ecstatic if someone assassinated Trump or Putin. Would that make me a bad person? Don't even care.

Yikes Bondi. If anyone from the US government is reading this,
I am a huge fan of Charlie Kirk. I subscribe to any interpretation of his words that you deem acceptable. Any quote you didn't like of his, I'll pretend never happened. I'm white and the gayest thing I've ever done was merely share a locker room with other men.
Thank you, government, for looking out for us.

Hey, an opportunity to praise ol Charles. But yeah he literally has said that "Hate speech is free speech", but of course Pedo Protector Bondi is just doing what her pedo boss is telling her to do. Such a scum woman.
Quote:
Bondi's comments quickly gained traction across social media, with some users replying with a 2024 post from Charlie Kirk, in which he wrote: "Hate speech does not exist legally in America. There's ugly speech. There's gross speech. There's evil speech. And ALL of it is protected by the First Amendment. Keep America free."

But Fonz does know full well about the hatred underneath.
Ugly stuff

Just to defend the country (as I still believe there’s something worth defending) from the generalization and adding on to the above, I think some benefit of the doubt is definitely required.
Sure, there were people who know him and cheered knowing what they were cheering for (like Fonz). The country is also run by a pedo rapist, so it does attract a certain kind of morally bankrupt person.
Then there’s the ignorance factor. Kirk had around the same followers as David Pakman, and significantly less than the Young Turks. How many people would know off hand who either of those are? Here, probably more than average, but across the US? Very, very few.
Then add on top of it the calls coming from the right for violence and political persecution against anyone not praising Kirk or mourning him (from random social media accounts right up to the highest political office in the country), an incredibly violent, armed section of the population, and any trepidation over speaking up right now is completely understandable.

Oh I know, but if you think I'm gonna pass on an opportunity to call him a pedo, or to call Bondi a pedo enabler....

The name should be changed to “the Fonz Appreciation Thread”
he has collated the idiocy that has arisen in the USA and fact it’s spilling over into our society.
We need to identify these people, maybe with an app or something.
