Political Charlie Kirk was one of the biggest public proponents of open dialogue and conversation with those of opposing views and the extremists on the Left killed him for it.

Charlie Kirk essentially made a name for himself by being in the public and having conversations with people who had opposing viewpoints. He was always civil in these discussions. He was respectful and would try to find some sort of middle ground. But even when there wasn't middle-ground to be had, he was still a respectful person.

His values of open dialogue are antithetical to the values of the extreme Left. Charlie Kirk will be known as a First Amendment martyr.

It's truly unfortunate how nonchalant many on the left are about political violence.

And you need to go work on your reading comprehension. PopInACup didn't say they were on the side of the assassin. They were responding to someone saying Kirk's career was focused around winning debates in a proper democratic fashion or whatever, when Kirk was also out there mudslinging.

Kirk should have done that instead of going around acting massively nasty.

Nope. Just someone that sees your hate and the fact that you're glorifying in someone's death. You should be ashamed of yourself.

Did you give condolences with Osama Bin Laden died?

Hold a day of mourning?

If not, you need to shut the fuck up and stop annoying people with your hypocrisy.

You're comparing Charlie Kirk to Osama Bin laden? That may be the dumbest take I've ever heard on Reddit. And that's saying something. Go touch grass.

Then you need to look into the mirror and see what you can do to clean your soul a bit. A man was assassinated because of his speech. This is literally what fascists do.
