Still, he said really toxic stuff. I don't feel that my right to say so should be impugned. Didn't like his views. Thought he was bad news. I can't believe that in America, people are losing their jobs over that basic right. I think Donald Trump is a douche too. That does not mean I want someone to attack him. I don't. But I also don't want anyone limiting my right to say he is a douche.
I agree but the issue is that we have otherwise sane and logical people literally cheering his killing.
I’ve seen so many disgusting comments from people I work with and friends. It terrifies me to see this kind of hatred is inside them for another human.
If you want to be mourned in death, live a better life. It is as simple as that. Most people view this as a case of F’d Around and Found Out.
So you are ok with someone killing another human because we don’t like what they say or believe?
I hate the message he was spreading but I don’t think that it’s right to kill another person for what they say.
No. But according to Charlie himself, gun deaths are the price we need to pay for freedom. Of course he probably thought that trans people, six year olds, and gangbangers were appropriate sacrifices to the God of the Second Amendment and never expected to see himself added to the pile of corpses. But there he is, and I’m not terribly sad about it.
Now, you can try to use my lack of caring as a reason to put a bullet in my own head and starve my babies. But what does that say about you? I’ll tell you - nothing good.
I’m not saying you have to mourn him or even give a crap.
What I see as an issue is people are cheerfully celebrating his murder.
And I see people lionizing a truly horrible man and demanding that people grieve him. Let the record be clear - on his best day, he was extremely divisive. He made his nut saying horrible things about people, saying that people deserved to die or get attacked.
People can regret the way he was killed and still be glad there is one less person like him spewing his filth into the world.
The same could be said for George Floyd's life choices but not allowed.
There’s about 12 million differences between George and Charlie’s life choices. And yet there are people who believe each deserved what they got in the end. But I can think of only one side that would like to do something about it other than bash skulls and get people fired.
If I recall, in the aftermath of George Floyd, I can only think of one side that did "do something about it." Specifically, burn cities, riot, loot, trespass, vandalize, and assault anyone trying to restore order or protect the public. Don't act like you have the high road here, you don't.
That’s what it took to finally get a murderer convicted. If you weren’t such racist POS cornballs that wouldn’t have been needed. Of course, small potatoes compared to Republican crimes against humanity and the economic warfare waged against Americans. Luckily for the billionaires they recruited a bunch of dumb hicks to vote for them.

She was celebrating his murdered. Expelled from Texas Tech.
"Any behavior that denigrates victims of violence is reprehensible, has no place on our campus, and is not aligned with our values. Federal law prevents Texas Tech University from commenting on individual student conduct matters. We take all reported violations seriously and address them under university policy and the law,” the university said in a statement."
I guess students there can't say that they are thankful that Hitler was killed in WWII. Or that he was a fascist POS.

The right wing has a serious problem with the First Amendment. Can’t wait for the ACLU to set Abbott straight. Sorry Texans, this one is going to cost you.

A couple of pages back, a poster wrote “OMFG - are you kidding? Tens of thousands of progressives have been openly celebrating his murder.”
Not fair! You can’t use their own words!
I’m so sad that I’ve read every darn page of this thread. I didn’t even know who Charlie Kirk was last week.

Democrats have not been itching to fight. We would like the GOP to come back to the table in Congress in good faith and try to govern again, put the reins on this poopshow of an ignorant, incompetent, Constitution-shredding Trump admin; and compromise on legislation that will help everyone. We would like them to stop demonizing and start governing and compromising.
Instead, they are too busy scapegoating immigrants, gay people, trans people, women, POC, and now the entire Democratic party along with anyone else who thinks MAGA is BS and itching to use their guns.
This is not a both sides thing and never was. That is the MAGA lie. They project and project and project their pathology onto the Democrats/liberals and think no one will notice? Nah.

Freedom of speech does not protect you from consequences of your speech.
Sure, you can say whatever you want in general, but when you sign a code of conduct for a job or in this case a college, you need to follow by that code of conduct. You break it, you are fired or expelled. In case she also assaulted another student on top of her hate speech.
Yo won’t go to jail if you celebrate Kirks’s murder, but you can lose your job or get expelled from school.

In a country of over 340 million, how many constitutes a critical mass? If it is under "tens of thousands" then it is isn't even a percent. And this is what yu are getting upset about and projecting on what is literally the majority of the country.
And that’s putting aside that X is full of bots that are not real people.
