Years of looking the other way at Left on Right violence, excusing shootings by mentally disturbed transgender assailants, and shrugging off black on white crime may be ending with the assassinations of conservative political activist Charlie Kirk and Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska.

Fed up with being victims and the political correctness that required silence, pollsters are finding that more are speaking out, and the killings signaled the start of a massive blowback.

“I think what happens is people get complacent, they get comfortable, and then things get bad, and so people are called to action,” said Rasmussen Reports pollster Mark Mitchell.

“Imagine people out there talking about a new ‘white lives matter’ movement,” he said. That “happened just because of the North Carolina killing just in the last two or three days, and it’s completely changed the social media landscape permanently. People are talking in ways they were not talking about a year ago, about black crime statistics and things like that, and then to have this happen on top of it,” he said, pointing to Kirk’s killing in Utah yesterday.

And just like that, there was a White Lives Matter movement. https://t.co/5qW61bYzbm

Charlie Kirk Assassination Proves The Left Needs To Fear Its Rules– thefederalist.com

Excerpt:

It was only one day before he was assassinated that Charlie Kirk said in a podcast interview that politicizing murder is often an imperative: “I don’t like politicizing situations like [the murder of  Iryna Zarutska], but it just necessitates it because there are so many dynamics at play here.”

So let’s not pretend for a second that there’s something untoward in talking about Kirk’s death in terms of politics. By definition, the assassination is political. Democrats got us here, and they are to be held to account for it.

Just two weeks ago, I noted Democrat leaders are increasingly using language in public indicating raw bloodlust, as when Democrat National Committee Chairman Ken Martin said he was “sick and tired of this Democratic Party bringing a pencil to a knife fight,” and that Democrats “cannot be the only party that plays by the rules anymore.”
