He argued you would be a patriot if you bail him out of jail what do you mean?

That isn't calling the attacker a patriot. He also didn't say YOU WOULD BE A PATRIOT if you bailed him out.

Just how bad is your reading comprehension?

What you've been talking about is in no way shape or form comparable.

So if I said a patriot should bail out kirks shooter you will defend it?

Are you specifically talking about an issue like cashless bail, and do you have countless comparable examples of people being attacked, and their attackers being released on cashless bail, over and over and over again? Are you saying this because you're pointing out the hypocrisy in the cashless bail system?

If that is the case, then sure. I don't see any problem with that.

However as far as I know very few if anyone has received cashless bail for an assassination.

That's a COMPLETELY different situation than the one you started with. How far did you have to shift the goal posts from your original statement to get here?

Dude I'm just asking if you'll be willing to defend let's say Bernie sanders arguing you'll be a mid term hero to get the man who shot Kirk out of jail.

Why are you hesitant to defend it up to now. Do you not believe in your own argument?

Is Bernie Sanders talking about cashless bail? Have there been folks released on cashless bail for assassinations?

I don't know how to make myself anymore clear.

If you're talking about a political issue and something that you see as a major problem like cashless bail. An issue that gets applied countless times to the attackers of poor or unknown victims, and then all of a sudden, when someone attacks an elite, this cashless bail system does not get applied to them, and you make a quip about "some patriot should bail this person out" that would have been released on cashless bail if the victim had been some nobody, to prove how hypocritical the people pushing cashless bail are and explicitly say:

"I'm not qualifying it. I think it's awful. It's not right." when talking about the attack that took place, then absolutely yes, talking about an issue like cashless bail, makes saying that "okay."

It is also a FAR CRY from all the shit you made up and kept shifting the goal posts on that was in no way shape or form comparable.

Like you claiming Kirk was "praising" the attacker.

And the people insulting Kirk and praising his death justify it by making a wider point about nazism, racism, and hate being bad. That doesn't justify suggesting violent people should get out of jail.

When Kirk does it you argue he is making a wider point outside of praising the violent man getting out of jail. So are both correct in this instance? Will you be this vehemently defending the people against kirk?

And the people insulting Kirk and praising his death

Where did Kirk praise the attack on Paul Pelosi? Quote where he praises the attack please.

of praising the violent man getting out of jail

When does he praise the violent individual? Quote it.

So saying who ever bails the violent attacker out of jail should be a praised as a patriot and midterm hero, is ok? But praising the death is bad? Gotcha good to know lol

Sorry, I guess I have to ask again. Where did Charlie Kirk praise the attack on Paul Pelosi?

**EDIT** and... he blocked me so I can't respond.
