See my comments below.

And let's pray for the innocent children who suffered from a school shooting on the same day that this man was assassinated. By his own words, their deaths are an acceptable price to pay so that people who revere him can own and use personal weapons of war.

Assassinating Charlie Kirk will have grave consequences for this country.

There should have been great consequences after Sandy Hook, and the Pulse Nightclub shooting, and so many other mess murder events like the one in Las Vegas that have been considered acceptable losses for people like Charlie Kirk.

I like to say pray for them all,

But let God sort them out.

She can still build a Fepartment of Peace. She just can't have it in the government right now.

In fact I think it might be a good idea for her to start working on building this coalition. I need to see her do something concrete practical and meaningful to put her strong political convictions into action.

Thank you, Marianne. The poison coursing through the nation's veins, and the need for someone to draw it from the body politic, was the main reason why I supported you for president.

You are one of our best hopes to bridge the great divide and provide guidance in these terrible times.

May God also remove the far right, pro-Trump message that he sold to young people as “Christian.” We should not forget that.

Thank you, Marianne. So well said.. So very sad. May God cleanse our hearts and minds from any desire for hatred or vengeance against those who hold differing political views from us. Rather, let us be respectful and courteous in our differences so that we may grow into the people of God we are meant to be. Amen.

Charlie Kirk was a rank a**h*ole.

And a dangerous demagogue.

He promoted violence in many forms and became a victim of the very violence he endorsed, saying that a few gun deaths is an acceptable price to pay to preserve our Second Amendment.

But even people like him deserve to be free from a sniper's fire.

I will pray for the souls of people he terrorized and the Sandy Hook children whose deaths he finds acceptable so that dangerous militias can be overly armed.

But I will also pray that the violence that he promoted and by which he lost his life may be expunged, first from my heart and then from my interactions with others.

I will work hard to refrain from expressing violent thoughts about his death, and I will pray for those who remain afraid of the administration he champions and the heartless policies they choose to enact.
