Political violence does not only come through weapons. He perpetrated violence and profited from it

In my opinion there is no honor in speaking disparagingly about minorities, women and the LGBTQ community. I have friends that have different political beliefs but this went beyond that. While his death is disturbing and unnecessary, it’s even more disturbing finding out friends think he was a saint. Disappointing.

Also: racism, homophobia, etc aren’t political belief systems.

Not honorable- he is not a martyr. He judged all of us that weren’t 100% aligned with his beliefs. He wished ill on others.

I feel like it’s impossible to forge a comforting narrative. Nobody was this vocal about Melissa Hortman. Huge red flag.

He was full of hate and bigotry and misogyny. He’s not worth another minute of any decent human being’s time or thought.

There was nothing honorable about him. He didn’t deserve to be murdered. Politic violence is wrong. He also does not need to be honored.

I’m sure he never expected the toxic rhetoric he spewed would ever apply to him, but I am definitely at peace that it did

Yup 100% I said he made the ultimate sacrifice for what he preached. I don’t think anyone should take another life but it’s ok to have an opinion on these issues. And it should be no violence and jo left and right

The comments from people who probably have never sat through a single full turning point event or recorded session you guys are taking everything he said out of context context is King in every scenario, but we are in age where most attention spans are 10 seconds go watch a full event and watch how respectful he was when communicating with these young people. He actually was teaching them that it’s OK to have different views and different opinions and expressed those in a respectful manner.

Also, compassion for ALL of the people (students, children, people who loved him) having to witness his assassination without their consent, whether it was in person or via social media. Have some sympathy, people are grieving and traumatized.

Ugh, definitions matter. Empathy mean you can feel what someone else feels. That was Charlie’s point people can’t empathize with someone else. The word he said people should be using is sympathize with someone else. People use his whole quote please

I do not agree that he died in an honorable way. I have a very similar belief system as you, however, it’s an ironic that he died in line with his belief system. He said it doesn’t matter who dies, including children. Awful!

Colleen :
it wasn't just that he didn't believe in empathy, it was that he felt like we can't actually know how anyone feels. he said he preferred the words sympathy or compassion.

Exactly, he died honoring his belief that casualties are to be expected and are worth the God given right to bear arms. He died honorable to his cause.

Honorable? We can find comfort? As a gay woman I find zero comfort in the harmful rhetoric of people like him that put my livelihood in jeopardy and my community as a target. He absolutely did not deserve to be k*lled, but this video is totally bizarre.

He was evil. He was a grifter. He maintained a professor watch list which targeted educators. Listen to Heather Cox Richardson talk about the death threats she got when he put her in that list. He knew what he was doing. Still didn’t deserve to be murdered

What do u mean he didn’t have empathy? He embodied empathy. Have you watched his talks? He valued everyone. His beliefs were of personal conviction. I don’t think that crosses out empathy for others.

I don’t think his death was political violence. It was extremism violence. By saying political it gives him more credence than it should.

I don't believe he died in an honorable way. In the dictionary, honorable means "honest and fair, or deserving praise and respect." Perhaps karmic is a better way to describe how he died, in that you reap what you sow.

Yeah it’s ok for others but he really didn’t mean it for himself!

I disagree that he was unempathetic. I think he was empathetic and that allowed him to conduct himself in a way where he could face people who he knew didnt align with his values because trying to talk about it is better than pretending different opinikns dont exist

Maybe you should have sat this one out on commenting. Regardless of how you feel about Charlie Kirk, justifying someone’s death crosses a serious moral line. This shows zero empathy as you would like to believe.
