- Republicans warn against mocking Kirk’s death, threaten dire consequences
- At least 15 people fired or suspended for allegedly disrespecting Kirk’s memory
- Online campaigns directed by Republicans continue to target Kirk’s critics online
WASHINGTON, Sept 13 (Reuters) - After the fatal shooting of right-wing influencer Charlie Kirk, U.S. Republicans have a warning for Americans: Mourn him respectfully or suffer the consequences.
Over the past several days, Democratic and Republican leaders have widely condemned the murder of Kirk, a 31-year-old activist and Trump world celebrity known for his hard-right views and pugnacious debating style.
I think they are right. Everyone should mourn him properly.
And there is no way more proper than respecting his own wishes and acting like he encouraged to do.
So let’s gladly accept his death as the neccessary and justified cost for free gun ownership, don’t politicize his death, don’t show any empathy for him who preached violence and reaped exactly what he sowed, and start collecting money for the legal representation of the guy who shot him.
Did I miss anything?
Every time I go to the range now, I’ll thank Charlie for dying so that I can own this rifle that I bought long before he was relevant or caught one in the neck.
May he rest in piss.
