    Charlie Kirk advocated violence. Charlie Kirk caused people’s deaths.

    I don’t see anyone here saying that it was correct to shoot him, but we don’t have to whitewash his history.

      I mean, in this exact thread, lol: https://lemmy.world/comment/19339137

      Plenty of people are saying it was correct and good to shoot him.

      And I’m not whitewashing his history. He was the worst kind of asshole. I’m not sad he’s dead. But there are in fact a lot of people on this site arguing that it was the absolutely correct thing to do to extrajudicially murder him, and that’s where I disagree.
