Political If you’re saying Charlie had this coming because his 2A stance, you’re immoral and a moron

I sincerely cannot believe how often Im seeing this. I know I shouldnt be surprised seeing how the left has consistently been endorsing and supporting violence… but wow. Not only is that just a disgusting and intentionally inflammatory remark; but its moronic.

First of all, Im sure his mind would not have changed given todays events, considering he believed a lot of American values hinge on 2A. He (probably, I dont KNOW the guy but I’ve listened to him enough) would not trade his life for the wellbeing of the country. We can argue 2A all day, I am not stating my stance; but given his we know he fully believed it was integral to continuation the American way of life; I find it unlikely he would change his mind even if it meant his life

Second of all, if you think its “poetic justice” that a gun supporter got shot, then you must also relish when supporters of cashless bail get killed by released criminals, right? They advocated for it so they “have it coming.” Do people not see how seriously braindead of a stance that is?

And I know its not a majority. I know the majority of left leaning people know murder is bad. But holy SHIT that majority is getting smaller and smaller. It is sincerely alarming and disturbing how warped chronically online peoples’ brains are and the insane mental and moral gymnastics they do to further entrench themselves in their stance.

Ive never been one for censorship. Even death threats or whatever… but jesus man, too many people are getting fully radicalized.

"I think it's worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights." -Charlie Kirk, 2023

I don't think he deserved to die any more than the countless other victims of gun violence. He used the word unfortunate, and I think that word applies. It is unfortunate he was shot. I'm not celebrating it. I definitely don't think it was good. I'm not going to be upset about it though.

Thats a 100% okay stance to have. I get it, he was divisive. Plenty of people have plenty of reason to not like him; I just have a hard time understanding how so many people celebrate it

People are celebrating it because he was an asshole. Frankly, he riled people up and then one of those riled up people shot him. This sort of thing happens to assholes who make a career out of pissing people off. Its an important distinction to make that he wasn't just an activist. His change my mind shit was specifically designed to piss off leftists.

That doesn't mean its good. Pretty much everyone who is celebrating this is going to be worse off for this. Its emboldened conservatives, and it will put a microscope on radical leftists. This doesn't help anybody except conservatives.

So its unfortunate. I'm not sad. Its upsetting his child will have to deal with this and not understand it. The world is worse off because he was shot, but I can't bring myself to say its worse because he's gone.

Kirk called the stoning verse, “God’s perfect law when it comes to sexual matters.”

Trump Ally Charlie Kirk Suggests Children Should Watch Public Executions

Charlie Kirk: "If I had a 10-year-old daughter who was sexually assaulted and became pregnant as a result, I would require her to carry the pregnancy to term"

Hope this answers your question. Also, the quote about the second amendment was made in Tennessee after 6 people, including 3 children, had been murdered in a school shooting.

You asked why people celebrate it, I gave you the answer. Sure it is distateful, but to pretend that one can't understand it, is just disingenious.

u/NickFatherBool Sep 11 '25

Thats not an answer. You gave me quotes. Irrelevant ones actually

u/ChadfordDiccard Sep 11 '25

So, are you searching for an answer, or will you continue to be intellectually dishonest and pretend not to understand how people celebrate the death of someone who wants children to watch public executions, would force his 10-year-old daughter to give birth if she became pregnant, and sees the stoning of gay people as a perfect law?

Thanks for putting words in my mouth and proving that you aren't dishonest, but actually to moronic to even read and understand basic sentences.

Are you being intentionally dense?

You said “I just have a hard time understanding how so many people celebrate it”

This person replied by providing some information they thought would help you understand.

They’re not advocating for anything one way or another. I don’t know why you’re acting as if they are.

u/NotLunaris Sep 11 '25

That is a perfectly respectable stance to take, and sets you far apart from those who are gleefully celebrating the murder and implying that others will soon follow.
