    It’s just a regular murder. Not even remotely as horrific as the KIDS that got shot in Colorado on that same day.

      • Because its a competition? You do know he has/had 2 young children, right? And now, you, and all the other ghouls are cheering on their fathers death. Funny how none of you give a tiny rats ass about those kids…

          The man spent his life advocating for political violence. It’s not a secret, it’s not a mystery, and no amount of convoluted gymnastics changes how Charlie Kirk lived his life.

          I’m sorry for his children, that they were ever born to such a reprehensible, utterly devoid wad of human filth. But like children borne to abusers, this man’s psychopathic hate that he turned into a fanatasism and a career that has poisoned the will of public discourse: his kids are better off with him dead than to live in the world which he was working, night and day, to create.

          What would you say to the children of Adolf Hitler, Or Goebells, or Polpot? That their father’s political ambitions are worthy simply because he happened to spill his seed any where but his own palm?

          No. Spare me the crocodile tears. The man was a vehement and abhorrent racist. It’s a better world for all and also for his children without him in it. Like a child should not have to grow up in a household of abuse, this man was an abuser of the very social fabric that marks all. Charlie Kirk had not one redeemable quality, and it’s a better world without him in it.

          I care about those kids. That’s why I’m ecstatic that the shit head is worm food so they’ll never have memories of hearing his BS in person.

      When was the last “regular murder” of this kind—against a political figure of such prominence? Say all you want about their bigotry, I agree, but that is currently mainstream politics. Like it or not, the kids were not prominent, and lives that are not prominent get buried despite their status as preventable horror.

          The two state lawmakers were as prominent as Charlie Kirk?

            No you’re right that’s insane. Two elected officials are obviously way more prominent than a YouTube personality.

              I didn’t hear about them before they died. And Turning Point is pretty much the MAGA youth league. Dismissing the US’s most influential MAGA voices as just “a YouTube personality” is not doing anything any favor.

                Just because he was prominent in your life doesn’t mean he was to others. I’ve had to explain to more than a few people who he was since they’d never heard of him at all.

                  and they’ve heard of the minnesotan lawmakers before they died? even if they have, way less people have heard of them compared to hearing of kirk.

          Dehumanization does nothing but feed into the bad faith right wing’s smearing of progressivism as a whole. Even uprisings need to consider opponents as capable of thought and assume more than constant misery. Just using different words is not going to change reality for the better, especially if said words are misleading. This is the kind of rhetoric that can be used to justify them shooting us. It’s just more excuses for Trump to create a police state.

            I understand what you’re saying but Trump just canceled his trip to Chicago so, I’d say you are proven wrong. The more this happens the more they fear, And since it is them getting hurt – I don’t see any problem here. You sound quite like a conservative, protecting conservatives. You should be ashamed of yourself
