His assassination deserves full condemnation; his full impact should not be sidestepped.

Can we stop trying to beatify this psychopath? It’s possible to be against violence and still condemn Kirk and his violent legacy.

    On the other hand, in a sick and twisted way, this all does lend credence to the whole “good guy with a gun” idea. you can’t tell me that microphone in his hand isn’t a weapon, and you sure as shit can’t tell me Charlie Kirk was a good guy.

    In other words, this was justifiable self-defense, that sniper protected those college kids from a cognitohazard.

      I just watched the Behind the Bastards episode on the zyzzians and my brain immediately that Kirk was gonna start spouting off about Rokus Basilisk.
