Hi guys! Just because he was an awful person doesn't mean he deserves to die. I am actually horrified by how many people are condoning this, especially when this man has a family and a wife and it's not even like trump when it would have actually done anything for our country. all this has done has made a gigantic fuss and give fox news rage bait.
This is the same man who said gun deaths are necessary for freedom. Who was shot immediately after exaggerating trans gun violence and downplaying the rest of the gun violence. He reaped what he sowed. His death is directly caused by policies he advocated for. I would of course be elated if we did not have these problems in the first place, but if someone is going to die because of this shit, I'm glad it's one of them actively making it worse.
Charlie Kirk himself wouldn't have wanted it any other way. He's quoted saying that empathy is made up and is dangerous. He didn't want my empathy and he certainly didn't fucking earn it.
No, he actually, absolutely, objectively did deserve to die. Maybe not by vigilante justice, but he absolutely deserved to be in the ground. The world is a better place without him in it.
Have you forgotten your history? We hanged people at Nuremberg for doing exactly what Kirk made his whole career doing. We hanged people at Nuremberg for crimes against humanity who did what Kirk did. We hanged Nazi propagandists who spent years inciting hate against the Jewish population. Kirk was absolutely guilty of incitement to genocide. He was responsible for countless deaths. He made his whole career trying to incite violence and hate against innocent people.
In a just world he would hang for his crimes. But we don't live in a just world. The closest we get to justice is vigilante justice.
Vigilante justice is not something I welcome. But the man absolutely deserved to die. He was a mass murderer.
This man wasn’t Hitler. This man was an annoying loudmouth who at the end of the day has a wife and kids he comes home to. He did not deserve this; this will only divide us more and contribute to the cycle of violence.
Oh no honey, no. Go back to bed.
You're right. He wasn't Hitler. He was Julius Streicher.
Charlie Kirk's life ended on September 10, 2025 shot in the neck by an assassin's bullet.
Julius Streicher met his end on October 16, 1946, hanged from the neck in Nuremberg Prison.
I suspect they'll reply with silence like they usually do when proven wrong.
Seriously. The idea that they're just words and they have no meaning is historically ignorant. We executed Nazi propagandists, even if they never killed anyone with their own hands. Inciting others to genocide is still a crime against humanity.
Kirk was openly calling for the extermination of a group of people that represents the same portion of the US population as the Jews did in Germany prior to WW2. It is not all hyperbole to place Kirk's death in its proper historical context. We literally executed people for doing what Kirk made his whole career doing.
Something, something, tolerance of intolerance.
You make a reasonable argument, unfortunately these are unreasonable times. Think about it, were more or less already in a revolution right now, I'd deign to even say rebellion is over the next hill.
Be ready.
TIL Fox news trolls lemmy to look for rage bait. /s
If you truly believe that, step 1 is to write your lawmakers and urge them to abolish the death penalty. Step 2 is to urge law enforcement to give up their guns. Step 3 is to convince every standing military on Earth to stand down and disband.
If you refuse to even try to do the above, then clearly you don't believe what you're saying here.
His wife and kid(s) were apparently in the audience, this was probably very scaring for the kids if they saw it.
Anyways crazy you're at negative votes, not very ethical of the downvoters
Don’t live a life where you call people subhuman and you won't be treated like this when you get murdered.
