It's all about feelings - Kirk played their feelings to get them mad about the things that were useful to him, and now "he was a Christian!" is being used to paper over everything that everyone full well remembers him saying about exactly this kind of a thing now that it has happened to him and the people who liked what he had to say when it happened to others need some help with the cognitive dissonance. He was a good Christian man. A father. A husband. By all accounts he was kind. A Christian. They are attacking you, what will you do?

From The Guardian: FBI says weapon believed to have killed Charlie Kirk has been recovered Speaking to the press, Robert Coles, the Special Agent in charge of the FBI Salt Lake Field Office, said that officials have recovered a “high powered bolt action rifle” they believe to be the weapon used in yesterday’s shooting. “A rifle was recovered in a wooded area where the shooter had fled” and the FBI laboratory will be “analyzing this weapon”, Coles said. He added that investigators have also collected “footwear, impression, a palm print and forearm imprints for analysis”. Share 5m ago09.23 EDT Mason adds that officials have been able to trace the shooters movement after the attack: “He moved to the other side of the building, jumped off of the building, and fled off of the campus into a neighborhood.” He goes on to say that investigators “do have good video footage of this individual”, but said they would not release the footage at this time. “We’re working through some technologies and some ways to identify this individual. If we are unsuccessful, we will reach out to you as the media, and we will push that publicly to help us identify them,” he says. -
He didn’t deserve to die. But I’m sure there were a lot of people in the south who were virulent racists who gave to charities and loved their family that we can all agree were wrong and that their beliefs are not ‘kind’ Thats him. His life, however, ‘kind’ is measured by his influence. And his influence was hate.

You're right. Anybody expressing 50/50% views on college campuses - the sacred place where ideas must not be debated - deserves to be shot dead.

For the people affected by the death of Charlie Kirk: I can understand the concern and shock of such a heinous act. What is happening to this country and world? How did we get here? Why is their so much divisiveness, hate, and violence? What happened to caring about our fellow man? Why are some people not deeply disturbed or angry about this? All understandable questions. Here is something to consider. There are lot of people who feel like this every day. Every. Fucking. Day. We see Palestinian kids with their limbs blown off. Dead children in Gaza or in our very own schools are commonplace. We see a POTUS and MAGA movement that by the hour tries to divide Americans. Masked ICE agent ripping people off the streets. US troops invading our cities. So when we're screaming at the top of our lungs, freaking out over the continued destruction of America, trying to reach people that are blinded or don't truly care, we get a little pissed off when people pop in with a brief moment of moral clarity. We anticipated this horror. We tried to warn y'all. You didn't listen. So fuck off with the judgement of how people feel about Charlie Kirk's death. Every day things get worse. We're fucking tired. We don't have the energy to unite in solidarity over another needless form of hate/violence when you've been covering your eyes and ears for so long. Wake up.

That's such ignorant horseshit. He literally called for nonviolence for years. He may have said and believed many things others don't, but his message was not about violence. Anyone who listened for more than a sound bite understands this CK_IdeasCollide.mp4 . -
On XM. “They” is FBI I believe.

Can you please reference where you are seeing this? "They" isn't helpful. -

Yeah my high school teens have no idea who he is. Doesn't make it onto their tiktok feeds I guess. I'm fine with that. -
I'm not celebrating. But I'm also not canonizing him. And discussing his racist, bigoted, and sexist views -- which were a large part of his identity rather than some harmless off-the-cuff isolated remarks -- is entirely fair game, even on the day of his death. And I have no reason to doubt that he was a good and loving husband and father, and showed kindness to those in his personal and political circle. I don't know him, but I've never read otherwise. However, he chose a public persona and pulpit to spew divisive, demeaning and hateful shit that went so far beyond what his loyalists want to label as conservative policies that big bad universities are stifling. He doesn't get a pass on that just to allow his fanboys a day of grieving. And when yesterday I first saw a comment on a Facebook post comparing his death to MLK's assassination, I thought that was a ridiculous isolated comment. But holy shit, that sentiment has a MAGA tidal wave behind it. And those crazy fucks are even saying Kirk was better than MLK because he never cheated on his wife unlike King the womanizer. Hey, if you want to compare personal lives, fine. I recently read the Pulitzer Prize-winning King: A Life, and along with MLK's greatness, the author also writes pretty extensively on King's infidelities, which were exhaustively taped by Hoover's FBI. If you're going to tell me that Charlie Kirk was a saint who never even thought about a woman other than his wife when he masturbated, okay, I'll assume that's true for this discussion. But however virtuous Kirk may have been in his private life, he chose a message and a movement of divisiveness, hateful, sexist, and antisemitic rhetoric, and a complete lack of empathy. On the other hand, King, for all of his extra-marital affairs, had a consistent mission and message of equality and justice, dignity for every human, love (even for his enemies), and maybe most remarkably, nonviolence, even when others in the Black movement toward the last several years of his life were pleading for him, "King, we need to consider some motherfucking violence!" Back to your post. I'm not happy at all that Kirk was gunned down. I'm sad for his widow and kids, and that another person yesterday was senselessly killed by a gun. And to honestly voice my selfish political reason for being angry at his murder, I'm fucking pissed that someone decided to kill a MAGA figurehead when it's only going to further enrage and energize that sad faction of our country. So we're not celebrating his death (well, at least I'm not). We're just honestly examining his life.
