When living in authoritarian rule, one must accept, even the beliefs of Charlie Kirk. He did say that the "cities should be occupied until all crime desists."
The Jan. 6th. insurrection and subsequent pardons are a prime example of approving of criminal acts. So, we go by example, it's ok to be like that. We can be criminals, as long as we are the right kind of criminal and get away with it.
Obviously the person that shot Charlie was not the right kind of criminal.

Kristallnacht (1938): The Nazi government used the assassination of German diplomat Ernst vom Rath by a Jewish teenager, Herschel Grynszpan, as a pretext for the "Night of Broken Glass". This was a series of orchestrated pogroms throughout Germany that saw widespread violence against Jewish people and the destruction of Jewish homes, businesses, and synagogues.

Jim your post shows your true colors and is one that is totally discusting in all aspects of human decency. And is more likely to cause hate and retribution against folks with your opinion.
Yes Charlie believed in keeping the 2nd Amendment because he, unlike the majority of the left, understood the 2nd Amendment is in place so citizens could protect themselves against evil (both individuals and governments).

"Wow. No words. Well, OK, some words.
Let me show you two differences between me and a MAGA influencer right now.
One, as with the United Healthcare CEO shooting, I don't care how much I agree with you ideologically, you break a lot of important social contracts when you start shooting at people, and those breaches put you on the opposite side of a very hard-and-fast line with me as a gun violence survivor and a (former, at this point) competitive shooter.
This is a tragedy and completely not the way that things should be done in this country. Charlie Kirk should have been defeated in argument and in the public square, not martyred; but more importantly, when we cross the line into shooting at fellow Americans merely because we disagree with them, no matter how much or how bad that disagreement is, that's how social disintegration happens.
I don't care how funny it was to make fun of Charlie Kirk and right now neither should you. Cheering the death of an ideological opponent is the sort of emotion that the worst of MAGA appeals to, and as with someone "on our side" dying - if not more so - if you're cheering this death, that's going to send off a lot of red flag signals to people (like me, at least).
Don't do that. That's trashy MAGA behavior. Grown-ups should know to self-edit your public presentation better than that.
Second, until we know more about this, now that I've said all that, I'm going to shut up and wait for facts instead of spreading misinformation."
I agree with Joohn Choe who wrote this

You must have hit the wrong keys in typing your title, Vern.
I think you probably meant ‘RIP Fascist P.O.S.’….didnt you?

Sadly on the same day there was a fatal shooting in a Colorado school.

Irony:
I guess he lived and died by his beliefs and I can only honor him for that.
RIP Charlie Kirk

Ti's a,sad day when a person that engages debate regardless of a person's individual political, religious, or other beliefs is assignated to silence conservative debate.
