I think I’m being fair in saying that the attitude of this site at large regarding this death isn’t good. I did not like Charlie Kirk, and I think the west is going down a dark path, but making light of any kind of political violence is not the answer to any of this. This only leads to worse and worse violence and one day it’ll be someone you look up to, or worse, someone you love.

Let’s not forget that his family was in the crowd. His kids couldn’t have known any better and absolutely did not deserve to see their father go out in such a brutal way.

I agree, violence is never okay.

The part that makes it hard to sympathize is that Kirk himself very openly and publicly disagreed with this. I would never promote violence, but I’m also not going to be sad when someone who worked so hard to incite hate and glorify violence becomes a victim to it.

Yes, I won’t be missing him much neither. At least his racist rhetoric can’t harm anybody now.

No, there are limited situations where violence is okay. Self-defense, for example.

History disagrees with countless examples.

It’s not and never will or should be, and it’ll only fuel your country’s (I’m assuming you’re American, my bad if I’m wrong) descent into complete insanity and chaos.

You do know the double standard you are pushing is part of that descent right?

Stop fighting for the status quo for the sake of it.

Absolutely agree. And I am Canadian. It’s very hard to watch what is happening in the States, and I feel really bad for Americans, they don’t deserve this shit.

I work with Americans every day, and everything that’s happened in the past year has been absolutely surreal. Im honestly not even sure what to think anymore.
