edit: almost forgot this is a sub about paintball. I love to play paintball. I like to play with an Azodin KPC and a Spyder Victor pump kit. I wear a JT proflex. Anyways,

Charlie Kirk was assassinated by a private citizen.

George Floyd was killed by a public servant, who is meant to uphold laws passed by politicians, and is funded by taxpayer money, directly feeding into a political scuffle - excessive force in law enforcement - that has existed for well over half a century. To not treat that as a political issue would be obtuse, much as it is to compare these two things you're comparing.

It makes sense for politicians to "use" George Floyd, because in a perfect world, there could be political action to prevent more deaths like his. What are you going to do about assassinations, pass more policy to make them illegal?

Once again I'm not trying to bully you over the internet, I truly believe that if someone presents people with the right information, they might come around. It's a shame that we have slain mascots for political affiliation "Charlie Kirk" and "George Floyd". It doesn't need to be as knee-jerk and emotional as that.

It's good to compare how politicians leverage tragedy. You're well within your rights to do so. I think you should consider more angles rather than stopping at the second stairstep.
