Most of the time criminals win the Nobel Peace Prize, so I reckon they qualify.

These people are dying for this cause and in spite of 21st Centuries claims the WH work with "terrorists" the reality is the anti-Assad fighters are doing everything they fan to defeat ISIS.

I agree...these are people who responded to the barbaric conditions in Rebel-held Syria by setting up an emergency medical service... becoming First Responders...Given that Assad and Putin now actively target medics, ambulances and hospitals this job is now as dangerous as being on the frontlines.

Because these men that come from ordinary civilian backgrounds are the only patriots prepared to risk their lives against the Russian Imperialist genocide and save lives.

The White Helmets are part of the fake news manufacture intended to cause outrage against President Assad and to keep the public onside with the US and Western coalition illegal invasion of a sovereign State (Syria). They operate in rebel held areas because they are terrorists.

The White Helmets are volunteers: butchers, bakers, candlestick makers and (terrorists). If they are volunteers why would US/UK etc be giving them millions. Syria already has the real Syrian Civil Defence... White Helmets are the start of the West setting up Shadow State... Assad stay strong.

The White Helmets are members of a Western backed NGO who is pursuing Western NOT Syrian agenda! Their connection with the alQaida group; Jabhat alNusra, is well established! The Nobel Peace Prize is a desperate attempt by the Western financiers, to legitimise this "civil defense" group!

A Syrian from Aleppo was recently quoted as saying this "The White Helmets don't rescue anyone. They just drive around in trucks with guns threatening people because they are terrorists." The White Helmets are terrorists. Their videos are propaganda. So a big NO!

These are terrorists who operate for the CIA and NATO intelligence services to destabilize Syria. They are responsible for the deaths of countless innocent Syrians and need to be jailed, not celebrated. However, I remember US President Obama's Orwellian defense of war as a means for peace.

The White Helmets have been exposed by their own videos as Charlatons and terrorist collaborators. The idea that they should be awarded any prize is repugnant. Their only prize should be a fair trial at The Hague.

The Nobel Prizes are prizes the elite give to its favourites. If they give to the white helmets they have legitimacy. We on one hand do not care what Nobel etc. does. It's all THEIR money not ours, but we do have reason to decry the blatant attack on civilized society this represents.

They are US and NATO funded organisation connect to Al Nusra and Al Qaeda, they were given over $60 million by the US, UK and EU member states.The White Helmet leader, Raed Saleh was deported from Dulles airport on the 18th April 201 as he was on a database of those who were a security risk.

The White Helmets have been exposed as Al Qaeda embedded rescue workers and propagandists. They are funded by the US, which by its own documents has admitted to orchestrating regime change in Syria, and supporting terrorists to that end.

I never heard of this guy before he was murdered, but it looks like he had a track record of saying awful things, and fomented the conditions in society that led to his demise. That's very tragic, but there are other people more deserving of a day.

Though this is a tragic incident and a terrible time of violence in our country, Mr. Kirk was not an elected official. We should honor his family and respect them in many ways and I certainly have sympathy for his family. But this does not warrant aday in Oregon devoted to his name or his politics.

A highly partisan figure in American politics should never be given a day of observance for any reason. It should be acknowledge that violence is not acceptable in any form for any reason, but it should not be honored and given Publicity because of it.

This guy was homophobic, racist, and anti women’s rights. While I think his murder is wrong, he is not a hero. He encouraged hatred towards people he didn’t agree with their lifestyles in his “teachings”. I don’t think Jesus would support him…he preached love for everyone!

This seems like a political form of "bike shedding". Instead of focusing on important conservative legislation, lets move around lines on a map and pretend it makes some kind of improvement in Missourian's lives.
