[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I guess the legacy of Charlie Kirk will be "sure, disagree with me, but if you do you'll lose your job"[/quote]

Celebrating an innocent man being murdered isn't just disagreeing with someone.  It's disgusting and we should be doing better.  These lunatics losing their jobs is a GOOD thing for society.[/quote]

The pastor at Alfred Street Baptist wasn't celebrating his death at all. Yet according to a PP, he now has a target on his back.

According to a lot of people anyone that doesn't put Charlie Kirk on a pedestal is "celebrating his death". No, I don't care that he died and it certainly doesn't make me happy. But he was horrible. Unfortunately there are many more like him.[/quote]

Well unless you put out a tik tok talking about how happy you are that he died, I wouldn't worry.  The people who are losing their jobs are gleefully celebrating murder.  I think we can all agree that murder is a tragedy that shouldn't be celebrated or laughed about.[/quote]

Many if not most of the people being targeted have not been remotely "celebrating" Charlie Kirk's assassination. This is a lie to excuse right wing threats and violence against people they just don't like.

[quote]One of the first names listed on the sites was Rachel Gilmore, an independent journalist at Bubble Pop Media who wrote on X that she was “terrified to think of how far-right fans of Kirk, aching for more violence, could very well turn this into an even more radicalizing moment. Will they now believe their fears have been proven right and feel they have a right to ‘retaliate,’ regardless of who actually was behind the initial shooting?”

As WIRED reported, this is exactly how much of the far right—along with Republican lawmakers including President Donald Trump—did respond to the news, even though no suspect had been arrested and no motive had been revealed.

For Gilmore, the impact of her inclusion on the website was instant and terrifying.

“This website has me genuinely afraid for my safety,” Gilmore tells WIRED. “I feel awful for anyone whose name is on it. It’s clear that the purpose of the website is to do exactly what the post that landed me on there warned Kirk’s supporters might do: retaliate.”

[b]Gilmore has received multiple death and rape threats since the site went live on Wednesday evening. [/b](WIRED reviewed screenshots of emails and direct messages Gilmore has received to verify the threats.) She has not reported the threats to the police yet, she says.

“I’ve gotten emails and DMs promising to find out where I live,” Gilmore says. “I have folks claiming my information is all over 4chan telling me in the same breath that they hope I get ‘raped and killed’ and telling me to ‘have fun walking the streets of’ my city, which they name.”[/quote]https://www.wired.com/story/right-wing-activists-are-targeting-people-for-allegedly-celebrating-charlie-kirks-death/[/quote]
