So you people are saying it was OK to kill this guy but Luigi killing that CEO or whatever he was, was OK. Something is wrong here and it's kind of scary.
Ending a human life is never something that should be carte blanche accepted or okay.
But if someone says "death is an acceptable consequence of owning firearms" and gets shot by someone? Hey man this is the world you wanted to live in. Rules for thee but not for me is not how this shit works.
I mean, is it a bad thing when bad people die?
It your death reduces the amount of shit human beings on this planet then it is good that you die. This isn't complicated.
Sometimes people are horrible and I'm not upset when horrible things happen to them.
I think people look at the past and go "oh yeah it's a good thing those Nazis died in the 40s, and it's a good thing those klansmen died in the 60s" and so on, but when it's today people are like "oh no this isn't appropriate"
But also yes something is wrong here and it's scary. Climate change, the rise of fascism, consolidation of power in the hands of the cruel and stupid, rising wealth inequality. The world is fucked and it's people like Charlie Kirk who deserve most of the blame.
Few people are saying "go shoot your Republican neighbor" (though I would probably nullify that too, as a juror) but the bigger dogs? Fuck them. They made their choice to make the world worse every day for years.
I feel like there's a negation missing somewhere.
I think people really need to inform themselves on what this person said and believed. It is some truly evil shit. He poisoned the minds of countless young people. He was a fucking demon.
Not going to celebrate political violence, but I'm also not going to shed a tear. And I think all of the praise I see for him is sickening.
I wouldn't shoot anyone, but both of those guys were wearing clothes that were asking for it.
