Extremists and an anonymously run website are posting identifying details about people accused of celebrating Charlie Kirk’s murder online. Some of those targeted are now getting death threats.

      Predicting the whining from the Confederates if it actually gets yoinked:

      “But you using lawfare to cancel culture my cancel culture is so unfair!!!”

      🤣

    LMAO, reading the submissions on that website are hilarious. Three quarters of the posts on there are super level-headed, saying they don’t believe he should have died but they can’t mourn or feel sympathy for someone so horrible; IMO, Charlie Kirk absolutely deserved to die. Wanting fascists dead shouldn’t be a hot take, it should be the norm.

      Yeah he’s being treated by the left like the right treats victims of police violence.

        Most victims of police violence didn’t help build such a socially damaging machine as TP USA

      There’s an argument to be made that propaganda to undermine democracy is warfare, so propagandists are fair game.

      I’m not quite convinced we’re there yet, but there it is.

      We have terrorists killing terrorists while other terrorists terrorize people for celebrating that there are fewer terrorists. What a terrible timeline we live in.

    The “freedom of speech” and “cancel culture” crowd that they always accused the left of being.

    I genuinely have just been responding with “chickens coming home to roost never made me sad, it always made me glad” just to see them confused

    Everything Charlie said in his life made it clear that he would have admonished us for caring about his death, and he would have defended the necessity of it. This is his legacy.

    If you spend your life saying hateful and morally reprehensible shit you don’t get to enjoy a posthumous rewrite that is entirely at odds with your life’s work.

    It’s unfortunate that someone died and it is a disaster for the division and incipient collapse of US society. This doesn’t mean Charlie was a good person, or that he will be missed, or that we should care about his particular death versus many others.

      I disagree. If a prominent right wing figure such as himself had been assassinated by anyone associated even tangentially with liberal ideology I’d bet hugely that he would he been on the bandwagon blaming the left and instigating outrage. The right have time and again proven themselves hypocrites. His words suggesting we don’t let shootings hijack a narrative or gun deaths being acceptable to maintain the 2nd Amendment would conveniently be forgotten or reinterpreted to the right’s benefit.
