    On the face of it, I don’t have an issue with saying this, as his family weren’t the ones preaching hate. But choosing to single out this particular person’s family rather than all the other recent shooting victims is a bad look.

      Everyone grieves differently, but his wife literally turned around and used his corpse for Instagram content before he was even in the ground! Add it to the list of videos I wish I hadn’t watched this week

        Partially, but it’s also related to the fascism our country is under now. Prominent non-government people who are on the government’s “side” are treated as if they actually are part of the government, because the corruption means they essentially are.

      You have to remember also he is not American, and Charlie wasn’t hugely known outside of the US, and his death has received massive coverage
