Who would stand to benefit from the death of Charlie Kirk?

[EdmondDantes_]

16. Wouldn't the obvious answer be people who hated what he stood for?

It only takes one person who convinces themselves to go too far, and the more people who hate someone, the more number of people there are who would be in that mental state.

The Silent Brotherhood who killed Alan Berg were on the opposite side of him and killed him for being a liberal Jew. So your own example tends towards it being a liberal person. And Berg had a lot of the same shtick as Kirk in terms of being deliberately provocative of people he disagreed with to the point the racists who killed him drove hundreds of miles to do so. You can say that there wasn't enough liberal interest in him, but one of his big things was going to college campuses and debating with random students so maybe you just weren't as aware of him. Look at how many people were gathered there as part of his student debates.
