    I am sad that I am ok with a strong advocate for values I do not hold, ending up murdered.

    Values are not universally valid.

    The values held by this dead person were harming society by the theft and denial of human rights for others.

      There are people who feel your values are invalid. Better watch your back if they feel the way you do about how to handle that.

      Totally agree. I feel there is a difference between quietly feeling evil met with consequences and celebrating a murder.

      It happened, society might be better off, but taking joy from murder and feeling that is good is likely to lead to much more death and mayhem.

      Imagine someone murdered AOC and thousands celebrated. Would you be more or less likely to politically reconcile with people from that political group?

      I would be less likely, which leads the whole society toward civil war and horrific bloodshed.
