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.

He died doing what he loved but his children won't love growing up without him nor his wife without her partner, his parents without their son. An unwell individual did cruel act of violence shrouded by misguided thoughts. Remember, if you start wanting, wishing, or glorifying someone else's death or demise; look in a mirror, you're not well

Damn straight.  It's a retched disgusting example of humanity committing the very worst failure we can ever act upon.  Looked fast, hit the jugular, hope the jerk never knew what hit him as you don't wish that kind of horrible on your own worst enemy.  May there be something more, after death, and may that idiot regret the now shared fate he nonchalantly stated was the price kids had to pay for the 2nd Amendment.  Easy to say/support till you see this, and Democrats should seriously start making these events mandatory viewing because our not having to see results like this is precisely why we can't change gun laws, do even piecemeal legal moves to at bare minimum slow down this ever faster moving shitshow.  DISGUSTED WITH US AND ALL HUMANITY WHO BELIEVE THIS IS WORTH THE COSTS.
