331. What if the only motive for Charlie Kirk's killer was love?

from The UPstander's Podcast with Dr. Omekongo · host Dr. Omekongo Dibinga

As I've listened to experts on political assassinations, I'm learning that many of these killers have no political affiliation. Some wanted to impress a woman. Some just wanted fame. What if, based on what we know so far, his motive was only love for his partner who he felt was being targeted? That does not justify the killing. What it DOES do is call America to have a deeper conversation about the comfort we fill in America for using violence as a form of expression for their feelings. This will lead us to do deeper work to actually progress towards ending this violence. We are more interested in this point at pointing fingers to the detriment of our future.#charliekirk #charliekirknews #tylerrobinson #upstander #turningpoint #turningpointusa STAY CONNECTED: Instagram | http://www.instagram.com/omekongo Twitter | http://www.twitter.com/omekongo Facebook | http://www.facebook.com/omekongo Website | http://www.omekongo.com Learn more about your ad choices.
