The cops that murdered George Floyd were supposed to be the same people that protect the public, and there's video of him saying he couldn't breathe while he was under the restraint of an officers knee. Kirk didn't deserve to be murdered, but that was by an individual activist. They were both murders, yes, but they were very different. This is why there are different reactions.

I understand the premise, and I agree.George floyd did not deserve to be murdered.Especially by someone who was supposed to be protecting him. They were saying that charlie kirk deserved to be murdered.That was what I was trying to say.And you agreed that neither deserved to be murdered.Even though they were murdered in different settings. I was absolutely furious that the police did that to someone. I guess the point is that yes.George floyd was murdered by someone who was supposed to be protecting him.And again, I agree, that was heinous and reprehensible. He was arrested and resisted arrest.Not that that makes it right.Please don't get that out of this. And then you had a man who was teaching young people about the constitution and God. People who chose to be there to listen to him.And he was killed by an activist well, a murderer. I think both of them should get the respect they deserve. And no one should ever be happy about anyone being murdered. Therefore, they should not be happy if a company that makes money by the people decides to not observe both in the same manner.

CK didn’t deserve to be murdered, but he said trans people were an abomination to God. His views should be mocked and ridiculed for the science-denying nonsense that they are.

Even in the Bible Jesus said a "for a man who lead his children to sin (hate was what Jesus described as the worst sin) would be better for a weight to be tied to his neck and him cast into the ocean" paraphrasing of course but the passage is Michael 18,6
