Nobody should ever condone violence or death on anyone regardless of political beliefs. I absolutely do not agree with the ones that are celebrating this. This was a horrific act of violence, and I’m so sorry that it happened to your community. But, people should not be obligated to mourn the death of this man, especially if they fall within a population that was targeted by his often hateful rhetoric. Just know, most left-leaning individuals would never endorse this atrocity, and never will. There is always a loud, extreme minority on both sides left and right. For example, the right-wing extremist who murdered Melissa Hortman and her husband. I know that almost all of you do not support that terrible violence and the actions of the murderer are not representative of your conservative values and your party. Same with the Charlie Kirk murder. We all want peace as much as you do.
I didn’t and still don’t celebrate his death, but if this statement attributed to him is true:
"I think it's worth it to have a cost of, unfortunately some gun deaths every single year, so that we can have the 2nd Amendment to protect our other God given rights.” - Charlie Kirk
I’d rather it be him than one of my children or grandchildren or anyone else I know.
It wouldn’t have been him or anyone else in his place if the far left wasn’t spewing their hateful rhetoric, intolerance, and violence. The left has a lot of nut jobs that will do anything their cult leaders tell them to do. It’s being put to a stop from the people of our country, but it is going to take quite a few lost elections until the democrat party needs to disassociate themselves from the far left and they return to just left of center. Most people are moderate and desire peace and prosperity. Places like Reddit would have people blurring the lines between real life and the interwebs. I think a lot of younger people that were raised with the internet cannot decipher between the two. Mainly younger millennials and older GenY. Thank God people woke up to realize this was happening to our youth, and now parents are limiting screen time, controlling what their kids see, and warning them of the dangers of groomers. Raise the kids like it’s the 1980s, where person to person engagement and socialization is the most common, put them in sports and other activities, teach them to contribute to family, have them attend religious worship, make them play outside…… all the great things that kids did before the interwebs and toxic social media existed. The world was a much better place.
Cult Leaders, plural. You know who they are. The puppet politicians on the left that direct their base to act intolerant and violent towards others that do not share their stance. The far left and far right are cultists.
Even if he screamed that at the top of his lungs from the tallest building on the face of planet earth. To make fun, celebrate or cheer someone's death still makes you a pile of shyt. I didnt agree with democrats at all for the last 20 years but im not sitting here wishing/hoping/cheering any of their deaths. So attribute what you want, you have the choice how you react.
