Cain, Abel, and Charlie Kirk

What an ancient story reveals about a modern murder

Sadly, murder is as old as humanity.

Genesis 4 recounts Cain’s murder of his own brother, Abel, due to jealousy and a perversion of self-defense.

Tyler Robinson recently shot and killed conservative activist and influencer Charlie Kirk, due to anger and a perversion of defending others.

The assassination of Charlie Kirk hits hard partly because his shooting came after a string of recent political violence in the U.S.

• Vance Boelter murdered a top Democrat in Minnesota and her husband as well as wounded a Democratic state Senator and his wife.
• Ryan Wesley Routh lay in wait with a rifle while Trump golfed.
• Thomas Matthew Crooks shot at Donald Trump during a rally.
• Cody Balmer threw a Molotov cocktail into Pennsylvannia Governor Josh Shapiro’s home.
• David Depape broke into former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s home intending to kidnap her and struck her husband’s skull with a hammer.
• Three men plotted to kidnap Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer as part of an effort to spark a civil war.
