I got this news only about an hour ago because I just got home from work. I'll say this in the nicest possible terms I can:
I don't condone political violence. I don't condone taking someone's life no matter how hateful, reprehensible, and morally bankrupt that person is. The reason I don't condone it is two-fold:
1. Murder is wrong.
2. And taking the life of a public figure like Charlie Kirk makes a martyr out of him. It washes away all of the awful things he has said and done and rallies the small-minded people who followed him to his cause, and removes the possibility forever that those people might some day come to their senses and see through Charlie Kirk's lies and bullshit. And there are very few people on this earth less-deserving of martyrdom than Charlie Fucking Kirk.
Condolences to his family, and I hope the killer is brought to justice. As for Charlie, I'll say this: When you preach the ideology of hate, sometimes that hate comes back to you.
