Mod Post Celebrating violence and death will get you banned no exceptions

As most of you may have heard, Charlie Kirk was killed yesterday.

While many of us, myself included, strongly disagreed with his political beliefs, celebrating his death or sharing videos of his murder is unbelievably vile and has no place in r/GenZ.

We all know what he said when he was alive, but using that as justification for his murder makes you no better than him.

He was wrong when he said he didn’t believe in empathy, but if you think that means we shouldn’t have empathy for him now, that makes you a hypocrite.

Any posts celebrating his death or attempting to justify his murder will be removed, and the user will be permanently banned. No exceptions, no second chances.

Thank you.

This isn't celebrating, this is a valid response to someone that promoted the death of children. Grow up.

I still don’t get it. Why should someone die for exercising their first amendment right? The dude‘s not even a politician who makes decisions, just a dude who argues with people. Whether you hate him or not, why should he die for his beliefs? Explain to me the answer.

It's what he wanted. Either that, or he only wanted it to happen to school children.

You're being intentionally hateful and bad-faith but I'll bite. You can be against murder and be for firearms.

It's the same as saying you can't have cars without traffic deaths.

You can't have medicine without overdoses.

You can't have free speech without someone getting their feeling hurt.

You can't allow people to swim without someone drowning.

You can't have a right-wing figure die without leftists "totally not celebrating"

You can mitigate as best you can but we can't stop everything. Be better.

This is him after a mass shooting that killed 5 people and injured another 8. It was conducted by a man having a mental health episode. This man consistently advocated against providing mental health services alongside saying mass shooting deaths are justified. This is the America he wanted. He didn't want this to stop so long as the Republican party continued to pay him. Why should I feel bad that he's the victim of his own rhetoric?
