We already knew his views were wild and insane but killing him for it was a bad idea and cruel to his family and friends (I’m guessing he had some). Metaphorically jumping up and down on his grave is just bad taste. The best thing we can do is consign him to an obscure footnote in history and desist from publishing his views for him.
edit to the replies - Holy hell this place has turned into reddit on a bad.
Nope, this is a message to the MAGA Nazis. Turn it up LOUD.
In another context maybe, but linking it with his death doesn’t help the cause.
Nah, violence is the only language they understand. These fascist have killed tons of innocent people, and Kirk was one of the propagandists that helped enable it. This was self-defense, and the only way to stop them from attacking us is to show that we will defend ourselves.
Name a more iconic duo than liberals and pearl-clutching. I’ll wait.
So this is you practicing empathy, I suppose.
I’m honoring Charlie’s memory, it’s what he would’ve wanted.
Please unpack the irony. I’m old, I am no longer fluent in multiply-stacked layers of disingenuity.
You believe that Charlie is wrong about empathy. But you emulate Charlie. Question: What the fuck?
You’re just another Charlie of a slightly different ilk. You have to consciously try to learn the right lessons from bad experiences, or you’ll become a bad person.
I mean, it’s possible to be empathetic and still recognize when a dangerous piece of shit has it coming.
The only reliable way to deal with fascists is to kill them. They will keep killing us until we force them to stop.
Kirk might not have been out there shooting people in the street like a common beat cop, but he built a career out of stochastic terrorism. He suffered the same fate that he advocated for innocent people.
