Threats of violence never an answer
North Idaho College has fielded what have been described as violent, threatening messages since it came to light that one of its instructors allegedly posted negative, disrespectful comments about Charlie Kirk after he was shot and killed last week. Those messages put NIC staff on edge, some even fearful for their safety, and prompted an increase in security.
While we certainly oppose hurtful remarks about Charlie Kirk after his death, and see them as cowardly and mean, we also oppose threats of violence toward NIC employees or toward anyone. Hard to believe we’re still repeating this, but violence is not a solution to anything. Threats of violence are not a solution to anything. They will only escalate what is already a tense situation. Threats only force the other side to dig in even deeper.
