There has been no sources that has released details of the motive of the person that shot Charlie Kirk. However Pierre and Scheer seems to know exactly why it happened.

Pierre and Scheer had nothing to say about other school shooting that involved kids.

Seems like they're setting up for the same rhetoric as last time.

Because violence is a necessary tool to enforce your beliefs. E.g. one shouldn't genocide. You ask the genocider to cease. They don't. You use violence to communicate your desire.

Not if it is against someone outside of the hierarchy you live in.
