1. The fact that he literally "got it in the neck" is a frightening irony that's hard to shake off

[ZDU]

3. The _______ Works in Mysterious

2. That ending of the OP reminds me of George Wallace. He was also a hate monger, and was also shot.

[Justice Brandeis]

7. And Wallace at least seemed to view his brush with death as an epiphany for himself

and he spent the rest of his life apologizing to the black people of Alabama who he had brought so much harm to.

12. Perhaps. Lee Atwater, worked for strom turmond's segregation policies and ran georege hw bush campagin

vowing to make "Willy Horton", Michael Dukakis running mate, and was unapologetic about his tactics, that is until he was diagnosed with a terminal illness, then he begged for forgiveness.

What was wrong after their epiphany, should have been obvious before that epiphany.

[Justice Brandeis]

4. Dying does not elevate anybody automatically to sainthood

or erase a legacy of being a grifter, a fraud, a sexist, a xenophobe and a transphobe.

we can still condemn the assassination and demand that the killer be found and jailed AND acknowledge those facts about Kirk.

6. Great post. Welcome to DU

8. Might expidite the journey to the southern vacation spot though.

I heard it's really hot and humid down there

[SunSeeker]

5. Agreed.

Thank you.

9. As a black woman. Mother to a queer child, not sure what folks would have me say. My existence,

my son's existence is not just a " political disagreement".

That's the thing we need to work on. Human rights are not a political disagreements. There should be no debate about who has a right to exist, who can go to school, who can hold certain jobs, who can access care.

10. Yeah, and I'm with Kamala Harris... and the other Dems

who've said they are "Against Political Violence in America"!

Charlie Kirk said .. It’s worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment”

Of course, CK was full of Shit.. because we would have the 2nd Amendment with Sensible gun laws.

Utah had open carry on College campuses.

So he was okay with it.

11. I am not celebrating his death.

I have sympathy for his family. He was a wretched person who should be alive so that we could criticize and vilify him.

[BlueKota]

13. I believe shooting someone else unless its to save yourself

or someone else from imminent danger, is always wrong.

That being said my empathy for this particular man is pretty much nullified by the fact that he even admitted to the public that the second amendment was more important to him, than the lives of others, including innocent children. Unfortunately for him he became the victim, of someone who believed as he did, that owning a gun is more important than human life.

[Cuthbert Allgood]

14. The world is a better place without him.

I wouldn't hope for or wish he death on him. But let's not pretend he wasn't the worst of us.
