Ex-Michigan prosecutor sparks outrage after blaming Charlie Kirk for his own killing
Opinion by Emma Bussey • 14h

Charlie Kirk's assassination IS a turning point: Watters

A former Michigan prosecutor was blasted online for suggesting Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk was responsible for his own assassination Wednesday because of his pro-Second Amendment stance.

Carol Siemon, who in 2022 stepped down as the top prosecutor in Ingham County, which includes much of Lansing, Michigan's state capital, mocked Kirk’s lifelong defense of gun rights.
 
"I’m terribly sorry when anyone is shot," Siemon wrote on X. "But I’m sure he doesn’t mind because he has said that shootings and gun deaths are a price he is willing to pay for nearly unfettered abilities to possess and use firearms. I support sensible firearm control, and perhaps he will too."

Siemon, who did not respond to a request for comment, appears to have deleted her account.

Kirk, 31, was shot and killed Wednesday while speaking at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah.  The conservative activist and father of two young children had been leading his American Comeback Tour and was taking questions from supporters and detractors when he ws killed.

I think I read somewhere else she is now a professor at the mega-liberal University of Michigan.  But notice how she talked about him in the present tense, like he was still alive, to soften the crassness of her liberal attack.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

No, witch, we are very much "fettered," despite the Second Amendment.

And no one's use of firearms to harm other people is unfettered. Murder and attempted murder are against the law, and always have been. You know, the law you once took an oath to uphold.

OMG, looked up this person, Carol here sounds like a major moon bat. Let me get this straight, Charlie Kirk supported the 2A, therefore, he deserved to be shot? Well, I bet Carol supports abortion, let's abort her.

No No No, we should never presume to abort anyone, she’s a democrat so let her abort herself or possibly one of the criminals she no doubt has happy feelings for could help her with her abortion, that is probably something she would support.

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-
