Charlie Kirk thought the Civil Rights Act should never have been passed and that MLK was a bad guy. He agreed with that description of his views. He absolutely should not have been killed. But, let’s stop pretending he was a good actor politically. He had bad ideas.
He said Joe Biden should be put in prison and/or given the death penalty.

BREAKING: Trump BANS Jimmy Kimmel from TV for THIS

““The MAGA Gang (is) desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it,” Kimmel said. “In between the finger-pointing, there was grieving.””
If this is all he said, then this is a political cancellation that goes against everything many on the right used to say they stand for. Kimmel’s statement is not totally accurate, but is hardly beyond the pale.

“An archived version of the study is still available online, and states that “far-right extremists have committed far more ideologically motivated homicides” than the left”

The Fallout from Charlie Kirk’s Death
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sz3SBK8PJik
If Tyler Robinson’s parents didn’t train him in the skills needed to become a long-range assassin, Charlie Kirk would almost surely be alive today.
Tyler came from a two-parent household. He had a good upbringing. Whatever you do, some people go crazy or/and get radicalized and want to kill someone. The more familiarity and access thay have with guns, the more likely they will succeed at murder, and the more likely they will even attempt it in the first place.

Lots of misinformation and speculation have been spread about the killer.

What Is Charlie Kirks Legacy?

One through-line with many assassins and mass shooters beyond ideology is that they are young men with access and familiarity with guns who radicalized on the internet. This is happening with a variety of ideologies. The internet and access to guns are key causes in many of these tragedies.

Political violence has been going on for decades, including recent history. Kirk’s murder is an outrage and we need to preach peace, love, and free speech, but it’s not unique.
