A preliminary and unverified report circulated inside the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives found that ammunition recovered with the rifle used to kill Charlie Kirk appeared engraved with statements “expressing transgender and anti-fascist ideology.”
Given that the reaction from media on the left also shows a very different reaction Kirk vs. Hortman, I think your estimation of the difference between the two is not reflective of what'll be the final reaction to these two events.
I think the difference is celebrity. Nobody knew who Hortman was. Even after the attack, most people just knew it was some politician from a state legislature, not a name or a face. Kirk is very well known and his murder will have a much greater impact.
Gaza belonged to Egypt. Egypt does not want Gaza back, nor does Egypt want a single Palestinian to cross their border. No aid, no refugees, no restoring older borders for Palestinians to be once again inside Egypt. It seems that Gaza as a spoil of war is a spoil that nobody wants because nobody wants to deal with the people that come with the territory.
Your citation of article III doesn't say what you think it says. Political organizers are partaking in hostilities as are anyone in the supporting political apparatus of the attackers. Those who have laid down arms are soldiers in combat who have surrendered. If Hamas wishes to lay down arms and surrender, this ends. That's what should happen. Hamas should surrender, every one of them, and all their arms. They need to give the people of Gaza an end to this war and Hamas' surrender is the surest way for this to happen. Perhaps it is the only way it'll happen. That said, we all know Hamas has no intent to release any other hostage and has no intent to ever surrender. They will all die and they will take as many civilians with them as possible.
State level politicians are less likely to have impact outside their state. Nobody knew Hortman. Kirk was known by virtually everyone. Much bigger impact, much bigger reaction.
The same occupation after Israel's Arab/Palestinian neighbors went to war against Israel and lost? Imagine what would be the situation today if Israel's neighbors instead sought to cement the then-declared borders and work for peaceful relations. War's consequences can be long-lasting.
Non comabattants can’t be killed and even combattants not in fighting position can’t be attacked
According to who? Geneva convention disagrees. And I think most of us here will cheer when Ukraine lobs a missile at a base in Russia, taking out non-combatant military officers or civilians operating oil refineries.
Regarding long-term homeless in the US, isn't most of that attributed to mental health & drug/alcohol abuse? I understand short-term homelessness is different.
I'm up for it. As an American, this could easily turn into a week off work with July 4th just a few days later. Music, fireworks, and good food! It'll be a great time!
Not my only complaint but you can focus on this one all day long until you can show it working well in live conditions. Give me video evidence it works better than the alternatives. This is garbage Chinese engineering. No video, no credibility.
Engineering nonsense. You want to tether to the ground something that'll require helium or hydrogen gas to stay afloat, where the equipment aboard will have to be light enough to stay aloft, and then try to focus the airship in such a way that electricity can be generated? There's no way that's efficient and there are plenty of ways to design something more reasonable. I guess there's a reason the story didn't come with a video or any compelling evidence will function.
Like the guy who recently murdered the children at the Catholic school in MN?
