The assassination of Charlie Kirk.
In our world, there are many different individuals with different political views. But does this mean that they should be murdered for this view ? The simple and quick answer should be a firm No. Although many individuals may disagree with his views and comment on how he spread "hate" across the country, I believe that he has the freedom to express his views. Although I am more left wing on the political scale and would associate myself as a democrat in the United States I believe that currently all life is valuable. Some of you may question my definition of "life", in this context it would be when a child is born and out of a mother's womb. Once again here is an example of me expressing my views that some right wing individuals may not agree with. You see without being able to express our views it would lead to many complications throughout the world. Charlie Kirk's assassination was disgraceful and an attack on free speech to everyone across the world affecting the populations of the United States, United Kingdom and all democratic societies. Free speech helps us become one, it exchanges different ideas and should never be a reason for the death of an individual. Even if an individual perceives another individual for spreading "hate" the most they can do to retaliate is by giving them a reason on why they disagree with their views. This is the definition of democracy. Due to this I am thoroughly ashamed with the murder of another human being. We need reason in our world, to take a step back and solve disagreements in a simple and calm manner without resulting to violence.


I strongly condemn the murder of Charlie Kirk however I do disagree with President Trump abusing his power by taking down TV presenter Jimmy Kimmel's show for exercising his right of free speech. Although some may take offense to what he has said the most calm and simple way to react would to retaliate by sending a rational message to him explaining why offense was taken, or request a debate. The abuse of governmental power by Trump has led to Jimmy Kimmel having his right of free speech taken away once again another bullet in the head to the concept of freedom of speech. If we keep going down this spiralling rabbit hole the United States would find itself being a society full of hate and violence fuelling the fire. To summarise I strongly condemn the murder of Charlie Kirk and the taking down of the Jimmy Kimmel show by Trump abusing his governmental powers. The best solution for the United States would to be fight against extremism from both the left and right in order to function as a stable and feasible society.
