14. Nobody on here is advocating killing anyone. For their beliefs or for any other reason.

I feel like this is buying into the RW narrative that "the left" is collectively responsible for murdering CK. We're not. We. Did. Not. Do. It.

People can feel however they want to about a despicable human being being killed. We all know that the killing is wrong, and most of us know that it will have a negative effect on our society (they're already calling for our mass arrests/executions). None of us has to feel bad about this particular individual though. I refuse to play into the RW narrative.
