Whatever happened to "be the better man". Stoop to the perceived level of your worst enemy and you're just like you perceive them to be.
Kirk shouldn't have died. But he also didn't say very nice things about people who aren't white males. There's a difference between celebrating his death and merely saying "he wasn't a very nice person unless you were white and male". Unfortunately, those two are being conflated. The very first listing on "charliesmurderers.com" is a woman who states in her tweet "I don't believe violence is ever the answer. It just makes everything worse" and "I hope Charlie survives", in response to those taking issue with her worrying that some further far-right Kirk followers might see this as an opportunity for "revenge". She did not champion his death. She didn't celebrate it. She just raised a point.
Unfortunately, he was killed by someone who didn't think he was as far right as they wanted. Ever heard of a "groyper"?
Well, reading all that was a waste of time. He didn't say anything controversial there at all. You're suffering from ideological capture if you read that and see a problem.
