There are people grieving for Charlie Kirk, A hero died a senseless death today at the hands of a criminal enterprise that dropped the veneer of morality a long time ago.
The responses have ranged from grief for Charlie, to anger at the democratic party, the left, etc. in general because of their blasé attitude or outright celebration of assassination.
But there is a third group. The ones who say that there will be retribution. There will be violence. That the gloves are off and this is a Civil War now.
Those people, avoid them. Because here's the thing, if we stoop to their level and burn, loot, and murder, we are no better than them. We give them an excuse to say "See? Alt Right is violent". We give the Cabal an excuse to crack down, to deploy the UN. We desecrate everything that Charlie Kirk stood for.
Charlie Kirk stood for rational debate, for common sense. For us to take to the streets and enact mob justice, we might as well be shooting him now.
Charlie died a hero. To wage jihad in his name would be an insult to his memory.
That is true.
Christ did whip (in the air) at the powerful brokers of corruption, intimidating them like a righteous force, against those who corrupted sacred space for personal gain. But we need to remember that was a very specific response to corruption in a very specific (holy) place.
But he didn't assault them or take their life or ruin their property. His goal was justice, and yes, sometimes, that requires a whip.
We have to use discernment to be as wise as serpents and gentle as doves.
