of course it isn't worthy of political assassination. What kind of society would we live in if it was? Basically you're using biased/shaded language to paint it very negatively - but "both sides" have large "propaganda" (interesting word choice but i'll roll w/ it) arms. That's politics. It obviously is ridiculous to kill someone who is peacefully spreading their views. I'm not really confusing anything. It's responses like yours which are confusing. You're saying "I don't THINK it was worthy of political assassination" implying that maybe it could be? you just don't think so? your entire response is basically saying that he was spreading propaganda and bad ideas, and that while assassination perhaps wasn't justified... frankly disturbing you can't just outright say this is wrong and terrible. Have a moral backbone and just say that it is wrong to kill someone peacefully assembling in cold blood. Would be if it happened to a democrat/liberal or a republican/conservative - and yes even if they are part of the political establishment or money that comes from it. The facts are he peacefully discussed his ideas, and it was during doing exactly that that he was killed. Your viewpoint is disturbing and disgusting, and frankly part of the problem.

RIP Charlie Kirk There is terrible news every day, but this one shook me. The up-close video is disturbing to say the least. Charlie just goes around, sets up a tent, and talks to people. Often at colleges, places of learning, ideas, and discussion where this dialectic should take place. This is exactly the type of behavior we should aspire towards in a functioning democracy. People who care enough to go around and discuss and spread their ideas. A democratic and free society is a marketplace of ideas. Sometimes the market disagrees with you, and that's just the way it goes. If you disagree with him (or anyone), do the same!! Set up your own tents and talk to people about your ideas! Do it independently ... or even follow Kirk around and set up a tent next to his to debate & debunk. This is a healthy dialectic process, and that's the type of democracy I want to live in. But that's not what happened here! Truly our society is sick, turning lazy and evil, and people believe the best thing is to kill someone they disagree with who is peacefully talking to others. So lazy they can't be bothered to take the time to confront and argue their side. And so arrogant that they believe someone who disagrees with them is wrong without actually engaging... and so extreme that their solution is to kill someone as relatively not-extreme as Kirk. This is disgusting and sad. Democracy is truly the God that is failing us. We are witnessing it in real time and people like this assassin are the proof.
