    I’m not going to celebrate his death. But I’m not going to spare him any empathy either. He preached hate. Got hate in return. FAFO.

      The man literally said crying is for babies and empathy is a “new age made up thing”.

      I don’t want the world to devolve into one person killing another because they disagree, but he was a piece of shit and deserves little to no sympathy as a result.

      Me either. I’m not even sad he’s (apparently) no longer among us. I just get disgusted with everyone who’s calling for violence left and right (metaphorically and politically).

        There’s a fine line between advocating for violence, and being aware that violence is going to happen whether we want it to or not. As someone else mentioned, the Right Wingers are absolutely ready to pull the trigger and it’s naive for people on the left to think “It won’t happen to me, so why bother being ready.”

        I look at this killing the way I look at Luigi; I’m not going to shed a tear for the victim. He had it coming to him and then some. And I hope the shooter never gets found because fuck Charlie Kirk.

        I’m not saying there needs to be all out revolution. But actions such as this killing are good in that they make the other side realize that “yes…we are ready…and you’re not safe if you keep trying your shit”.
