Clementine Ford is an Australian "influencer". Yuck! To the whole concept of “influencers”. (But then, I’m just a cranky old man who still blogs, for heavens sake).
And, Super Yuck for C. Ford’s vile views, her absent morality, her gloating over a violent death, her gleefulness at Charlie Kirk's murder. However many ad hominems I find for this piece of shite, they’re not enough. And that’s coming from a person (me) who hates ad hominem.
C. Ford says, with a smirk: "Why feel sorry for him? Charlie died doing what he loved: defending guns".
Well, NO. He did not.
On two counts:
First, when he was shot in the neck by an extremist Leftie -- who could not abide Charlie simply debating -- at that very moment, the issue being discussed was transgender rights, not gun rights.
In the tiniest tinge of silver lining, the guy debating Charlie at that exact moment was so profoundly shocked by that bullet in the neck, that he has since denounced his now former cult-mates, gone in hard against the gleeful hordes of monsters yipping it up for the death of a man who simply wanted to talk and debate. A man who said repeatedly: "When debate ends, that's when violence begins". Oh, sad prescience.
Second, Charlie was killed by a mad Leftie who used a hunting rifle, the Mauser Model 98 (.30-06 caliber bolt-action rifle). A rifle that’s been around since 1897…
Me, I've never owned and will never own a gun. I'm bemused by American gun laws. I live in Hong Kong where guns are strictly controlled. Guns are also strictly controlled in the Anglosphere, in Britain, in Canada, in Australia, in New Zealand. They're strictly controlled everywhere in Europe and Asia. But... in none of these places are hunting rifles like the Mauser banned. To repeat: in not a single one of these strict gun-law countries are hunting rifles banned. Neither are they banned in a single U.S. state, not even the ones with strong gun laws.
So what's the point of moaning about "gun control", when the issue is irrelevant to the Charlie case. A mad Leftie can always get hold of a hunting rifle. (Just as a deranged racist on a Charlotte tram can always get hold of a knife).
Of course the gun issue is handy for the Left. It allows diversion. As in:
... if a killing is done by a Right-winger, the story in the media is: Far Right, white supremacists, extremist MAGA are responsible. It’s the Republicans!
But then...
... if a killing is done by Left-winger the story in the media is: this could have been avoided with stricter gun-control laws, which the Republicans block. So, again, it's the Republicans!
See how that works?
In truth we should not expect any sense from a ning-nong who goes on Facebook with a farrago of immature flim-flammery like this:
Note, by the way, C. Ford’s "... I love being a single mother". This relates back to my post yesterday about Traditional Family vs Feminist Push. Ford would happily — gleefully even — kill Charlie for his views on the Traditional Family, I’ve no doubt. If we think otherwise we're "losers" says C. Ford. Got that? You’re “losers” if you don’t believe in assassinating people you don’t agree with.
What a shocking place we're in, when "influencers" across the world, openly -- proudly even -- say that it's just fine to massacre, to murder, to assassinate people for views you don't like. Think on that. Think on it.
Is it too late to fix? Perhaps.
I can't believe that idiots like Clementine Ford will be influenced by anyone not on her side, people like me calling her out. She just mocks them, us, as "losers". This must be called out by her side. By the Left. By Left leaders. Who, in America, are doing the opposite. We had Nancy Pelosi, for example, when she was Speaker of the House, the most senior Democrat in the Congress, calling for "uprisings" across America. Because they lost an election. I mean... c'mon! Do better.
The first stanza of "Oh my darling, Clementine":
ADDED: another horrid Australian "influencer" Abby Chatfield calls on Americans to kill Republicans. As in, all Republicans. Kill them! She says straight to camera.
If called out on their murderous euphoria, Democrats resort to the "it happens on both-sides" schtick. No, it doesn't. It's not two sides. It's one side. It's the Democrats directly enabling murderous mayhem on their very own Far Left fringe. And only they can fix it. Who will stand up and say it?
Barack? I doubt it. Wifie Michelle? She of the "when they go low, we go high" fantasy? Surely not. Not Kamala either. She answered Anderson Cooper, who asked "Do you think Donald Trump is a fascist?" with "Yes, I do. Yes, he is a fascist". And what do you do with fascists? You kill them. So, no, not Kamala either.
Who then? Who calls this out? If it's no one, we're in deep shite.
