My Thoughts on the Death of Charlie Kirk

Before I give my take on what I really believe, I just want to make a few things clear in the wake of the assassination of Charlie Kirk. What happened to Charlie Kirk was completely unjustifiable. No one should have to worry about being murdered for their political beliefs. This was an act of murder, and it is completely inexcusable. I strongly condemn the shooter for what he did to Charlie Kirk.

That said, I’m not going to pretend that Charlie Kirk was just another innocent victim of all this political violence in America. The reason why is because he was also part of the problem while he still lived. For those of you who don’t know anything about Charlie Kirk, he is the founder of an American right-wing political organization known as Turning Point Action. Turning Point Action is known to have sponsored the perpetrators of the Capitol Hill Putsch that took place on January 6, 2021. That means Charlie Kirk contributed to the normalization of political violence in America.

You don’t get to fuel the problem and expect not to be harmed by the same problem yourself. The perpetrators of the Capitol Hill Putsch were murderers. Charlie Kirk sponsored them through his political organization and advocated for them to be pardoned for their crimes. That makes him guilty of being an accessory to politically motivated murders himself. Charlie Kirk doesn’t deserve to be remembered as a martyr for his cause. He was a piece of trash human being, plain and simple, and I can prove that through this news article.
