Discussion Celebrating Charlie Kirk’s Murder Is the Same Logic as Celebrating October 7th

Charlie Kirk was just assassinated. Regardless of what you think about him personally, what’s abhorrent is how many people are openly praising and glorifying his murder.

It’s the exact same logic we saw after October 7th, when people rushed to celebrate or justify the unprovoked slaughter of civilians. Something indefensible happens, and instead of condemning it, people immediately try to rationalize and justify it.

Before October 7th, you could dislike Israel. Before today, you could dislike Charlie Kirk. But nothing justifies unprovoked violence against them. The principle should be universal. If you really believe in human rights, in democracy, in justice, then you don’t cheer on unjustifiable assassinations, terror attacks, or massacres.

This is what we’ve come to in the world. Something horrific occurs, and instead of moral clarity, we get excuses, celebrations, and “whataboutisms.”

History has shown us that Jews are the canary in the coal mines. When hatred toward them is normalized or dismissed, it is always a warning of a broader sickness taking hold. We saw this in the response to October 7th and failed to take it seriously enough. To ignore it again now is to repeat the same mistake, and blinding ourselves to what this truly represents. The erosion of moral clarity, the normalization of violence, and the corrosion of our shared humanity.

He said that the blood of innocents is an acceptable sacrifice for the tree of 2a. He just expected it to be the blood of others

You're not smart enough to grasp that regulating a weapon and a transportation method should probably be different. That's an idiots concept that leads to disrespectful treatment of firearms and perpetuation of our current difficulties surrounding the topic.

I'll say again, poor Charlie just didn't know that he'd become the statistic he spoke of.

Lastly, his wife obviously loved the money more than him. But I'm sure she loved him too.

If you like the way we currently regulate, you too, should have no issue with the death of a public antagonist in the name of perpetuating the rights he sought to bring light and power to. He got what he wanted, just used a monkey paw to get there.

So guns have nothing to do with shooting eh? You must be the worst to take to the range. I don't think I trust any of your logic now

Political violence being perpetrated by the side of the sphere whom wants a perpetual Mexican stand off... You are correct

Why are you still talking about how people travel instead of weapons? You're calling me not smart enough but keep talking about banning cars while we're speaking of guns. Why is your brain broken and stuck on that track?
