Controversial public figures should probably stop holding massive outdoor speaking events in open spaces that can't be fully secured.

They should stick to arenas and large buildings for which you can harden a well defined perimeter.

Not much has changed since JFK, MLK, RFK.

Same actors - same playbook.

This is a very unfortunate truth

And somehow randomize entry and exit points. It's a damn shame that this is where we are now.

Sad but true

"for which you can harden a well defined perimeter."

oh, the irony...

Fear is the mind-killer

Controversial? How? You gonna blame the victim for getting killed?

The only person to blame is the attacker. But every public figure should take stock of how many people hate them and use it to adjust their threat model.

No.

You don't cower from fear.

Taking appropriate security measures based on one's position isn't cowering. Youre looking for conflict where none exists. Jameson seems to be acting in good faith here.

JFK thought he was safe, until he wasn't. Notice what happened after that? Security changes were implemented, immediately.

Loop isn't a fuckfaces idiot here.

This is an extreme strawman argument dude, have to say

There's nothing wrong with learning and planning for the reality we live in. It isn't right but that's clearly how it is.

3.2.1..... charlie Kirk coin

I agree that if you go looking for trouble, don’t be surprised when you find it. However, I do not believe in violence and all death is very sad.

Another bad take from you.

And a useless criticism from you! Guess we're even?

Can’t look in the mirror? It’s a bad take, take the criticism or maybe you should only speak in hardened spaces in which you can control the perimeter and whom critiques you.

This is what you choose to say? Point the attention to the victims actions?! Man you are headed downhill brother!

I think about security for my profession.

An important aspect of improving your posture is learning from security failures and adjusting accordingly.

Stating obvious truths at terrible times implies a few other things, none of which reflect well on you

Well said. Charlie should have been organizing and rallying his peeps. This whole bagging on dumb college kids .... it's sorta getting old .. and it is absolutely dangerous activity.

The is no debate, in my opinion. The time for debate is over. Look at Europe .. it's gone.

Bitcoiners smartly think in terms of citadels. As Bitcoin threatens fiat .... the attacks will increase a thousand fold.

Fuck you

Although what you said istrue, bad timing man...

Or, you know, stop being controversial Israeli shills or apologists and try being loyal to, and loving only, America for a refreshing change. Too radical a proposal? πŸ€”

Are you implying that it was his fault for having an opinion that differs from your's and debating that openly?

It's people with this attitude that are destroying our society. GFY!

I read your post and your replies, and zapped without full context. If I could I would undo. I agree with what you said without context, but Charlie Kirk isn't a president or prime minister. He shouldn't need secret service and bodyguards.

Whether you're a fan of him or not, shooting someone isn't cool.

I agree he shouldn't have needed them but maybe he'd be alive if he had them or the university had provided better security. The reality is there's some twisted motherfuckers out there intent on killing people that don't agree with their political ideologies. Jameson is right in saying that some of these "controversial" people should consider speaking at events that are easier to secure, it's a perfectly reasonable statement.

I agree. The university should pay.

More uncool to follow

Controversial = not approved leftist-origin thought

That’s the quiet part out loud

Like MLK, JFK, RFK, the Hortmans ... ?

USA a a long history of political violence

I was describing how I participated in a public campus debate back in university. The topic was the death penalty. I had friends who argued (and vehemently embraced) the opposite side of the issue with me. The debate was heated. But afterwards we were able to go for beers and still be cordial with each other. Open air public debate is the nature of freedom. Closing it off in a stadium makes it unapproachable and impersonal.

(...describing to my daughter...)

For safety of public figures, lets get rid off the governments. No governments, no public figures. Problem solved. Sounds similar to proposed gun laws, so governments can actually agree on this one too, no?

Better yet, dont speak at all. Don’t be controversial.

That sounds as top notch human civilization. We could add that women should wear a full dress covering its body, including the face, to avoid getting rapeπŸ‘Œ.

Always a risk of getting sniped

Another precaution would be unscheduled events so no time for snipers to set up

Absolutely.
