    We already knew his views were wild and insane but killing him for it was a bad idea and cruel to his family and friends (I’m guessing he had some). Metaphorically jumping up and down on his grave is just bad taste. The best thing we can do is consign him to an obscure footnote in history and desist from publishing his views for him.

      The only reliable way to deal with fascists is to kill them. They will keep killing us until we force them to stop.

      Kirk might not have been out there shooting people in the street like a common beat cop, but he built a career out of stochastic terrorism. He suffered the same fate that he advocated for innocent people.

      You seem real upset that a white christo-nationalist terrorism advocate is dead. Seems like you’re telling on yourself, fashy

        Nope. The guy was clearly a shit. Just hope people rise above it and never speak about him again, there are better things to waste our effort on.

            Please unpack the irony. I’m old, I am no longer fluent in multiply-stacked layers of disingenuity.

            You believe that Charlie is wrong about empathy. But you emulate Charlie. Question: What the fuck?

            You’re just another Charlie of a slightly different ilk. You have to consciously try to learn the right lessons from bad experiences, or you’ll become a bad person.

      If this is such a bad thing, then why did Ben Shapiro cancel his speaking arrangements today? All these grifters are freaking out because they never expected to face a consequence for anything they said or did

        In another context maybe, but linking it with his death doesn’t help the cause.

          Nah, violence is the only language they understand. These fascist have killed tons of innocent people, and Kirk was one of the propagandists that helped enable it. This was self-defense, and the only way to stop them from attacking us is to show that we will defend ourselves.

        All this boohooing about his family. His wife chose to marry him because he’s a reactionary racist transphobic piece of shit. Meaning she herself is one. The only people I feel bad for are the young kids
