The man spent his life advocating for political violence. It's not a secret, it's not a mystery, and no amount of convoluted gymnastics changes how Charlie Kirk lived his life.

I'm sorry for his children, that they were ever born to such a reprehensible, utterly devoid wad of human filth. But like children borne to abusers, this man's psychopathic hate that he turned into a fanatasism and a career that has poisoned the will of public discourse: his kids are better off with him dead than to live in the world which he was working, night and day, to create.

What would you say to the children of Adolf Hitler, Or Goebells, or Polpot? That their father's political ambitions are worthy simply because he happened to spill his seed any where but his own palm?

No. Spare me the crocodile tears. The man was a vehement and abhorrent racist. It's a better world for all and also for his children without him in it. Like a child should not have to grow up in a household of abuse, this man was an abuser of the very social fabric that marks all. Charlie Kirk had not one redeemable quality, and it's a better world without him in it.
