I have hope that the memory of decent Americans isn’t that short and they’ll get through this but what a nightmare it is.

I've seen a couple black commentators. Of course they're not accepting it. I imagine the black community will respond. It was nice to see that the comments sections also felt these were lynchings. At least the first. Most known one.
 
As far as I understand it there was one white male and one black male found hanged.

The body of 35-year-old Cory Zukatis was found hanging from a tree in a wooded area off of Washington Street in Vicksburg, Mississippi, on Monday afternoon. Zukatis was from Brandon, Mississippi.

“It was a white male in a wooded area where people who live there are homeless and on drugs,” Warren County Coroner Doug L. Huskey told the Mississippi Free Press on Tuesday morning when asked for details. “He is homeless. I talked to his family.”

The coroner said he would not speculate about whether foul play was involved or if the death was a suicide.

Zukatis’ body was found mere hours after officials found a student hanging in a tree around 100 miles away on the Delta State University campus in Cleveland, Mississippi. But despite rampant social media speculation, police in Vicksburg said the two deaths are not related, The Vicksburg Post reported Tuesday morning.

Charlie Kirk’s Murder Is a Tragedy and a Disaster

The assassination of Charlie Kirk threatens to embolden the far right and provide Donald Trump with a pretext for crushing dissent. Escalating political violence corrodes democratic norms and poses a unique threat to the Left.

Wow. Andrew Coyne (moderate conservative) vigorously defending the left. Good article if you can read it. To my surprise he’s using that other f word. Keep it up rational people in the media. I have a $.99/ week subscription but there are legal ways around paywalls available. Reader mode on your browser sometimes works, going to an archive site and putting in the link to find the archived article, or finding it through your public library website, are a few ways.

Opinion: The death of Charlie Kirk did not make him a moderate

He is well on his way to sainthood among MAGA Republicans

It all depends on which side of the absolute/abstract wall one comes from ... walking the line is difficult as both sides would like to knock moderate mobs off ... thus few in that populace or paradigm.
 
In that observation a very large implication that is troublesome for mortals (as real people).

I've been told that I am unreal ... like some kind of abstract! A smear in the live of folk that believe their system is much brighter as more industrious?

Breeds further incredulous enigma in matter in humanity ... like chords in the scatter of string theory! that's hehM ... a twitch in space as painful contraction ...
Like a heartbeat on a very large scale ... meta-measure? In the abstract it is difficult to observe ... thus we feel our way about ... cosmological worms?

Still the question whether these living things are sentient or delusional; contrary illusions? Minor virus ... carrying mystery ... dis ease and constrictions rather than relaxation theory ... tight sects ... closed circles? The there are those beyond that rim ... a Ryne ... like the envelop of swine?

In a pigs R' say a fraction ... piglet in sight of the humongous Ca+ as Kaye ... or maybe florid keys ... against that minor ONE! The spot to shrink to when all goes awry ... as it so appears in an anarchial blotch ...

The stuff we don't know is critical ... not what we claim to know ...

Can the word elimination and ignorance be fitted ... or fitting?

Everything has to be taken in balance ... as the old adage says look at it from both sides ... impossible if you're way out there ... either way ... like ethereal Ephraim ... boxed or a' la bojite ... in the woods crated ...

Linguistics can be so indefinite given the evolution ...

The left is really about egalitarianism and labour unions at its core. Not an unbalanced concept.

I find him reasonable. I used to watch him on CBC’s Power and Politics panel years ago (been a long time since I watched that) and remember feeling miffed by his seemingly unwavering support for Harper (but maybe that was more Kevin O’Reilly that bothered me. A. Coyne was not crass) - but since he’s moved from the NP to G&M I think he’s better. Did he leave NP over editorial freedom issues?

I’m not impressed nor surprised. It’s his second term with a 4 yr gap in between. The queen has since died and Charles is the new king. That’s a first in and of itself that probably warrants a visit in royal world. I read there was a huge picture of him and Epstein layed out on the Windsor Castle lawn. I guess it must’ve been removed before he went by.

One can only hope he turns into a pumpkin. He doesn’t have far to go. (Or was that just the stage coach?)

What do you think about this visit?

IIRC state visits to the UK are arranged through the government of the day, not through the Palace (though then the PAlace may take the lead in some of the details) so in this case it may be that the Starmer government is trying to keep some sense of relationship in the face of disagreements over trade, Ukraine, NATO....
 
A guy who wants to be an absolute monarch being hosted by a modern constitutional monarchy that basically gave up absolute power long ago is kind of interesting. I wonder if Trump even realizes that the invitation from Charles actually came from Starmer (as Gord pointed out), not the king himself and is just Starmer pandering to Trump. It kind of disgusts me but as a Canadian, I didn't elect Starmer so I will leave the Brits to pass judgement on his handling of Trump. I'm more concerned with Carney.

Makes sense. Though I also read that Starmer is in a bit of a bind because he fired a cabinet minister over his ties to Epstein but is rolling out the red carpet for Trump.

Ditto. I've enjoyed Coyne's commentary since I first encountered him on the CBC At Issue panel and regularly read his Globe columns (I have an e-sub). Smart guy and even when I disagree with him (which happens a lot, to be honest), he's at least a good read.

He just loves all the pomp. But they’re keeping the crowds well away from him. He looked a bit disappointed in the pumpkin trailer…I mean stagecoach. ;)
 
Pomp and ceremony again in classic terms ... what does it do for god's little people?

Then what did the OT say about our need for Kings, etc.? A sense of delusion ... cover ... like a story .. it is deeper than appears ...

Wow, in the opinion of Andrew Coyne (acolyte of the extreme radical left), Charlie Kirk was not moderate.

Since the article is behind a paywall I am not allowed to read it.

Of the comments online further to the article this one sums it up nicely IMO:

… play on words …. First observation … should be the truth : assassination. ‘Death’ minimizes the situation Purposely. 2nd: The action of killing has no bearing on ‘making’ anyone anything. One would surmise, the phrasing is setting up a narrative. Is this an opinion? Or is the audience being massaged into a way of thinking?The headline alone has enough red flags that it would be advisable that were a person to read it , use your own judgement, experience, and critical thinking to ensure this piece is not attempting Machiavellian influence techniques. Trust level = Low
