I'm guessing there are some who do, but I can only speak for myself.
And for myself, I'm not celebrating his brutal murder. I'm mostly just very satisfied that first, he won't be spreading lies and misinformation anymore.
Second, that it's apparently right on right violence. The left isn't responsible and it's the right's violent rhetoric that is giving them all of this grief.
Third, that an evil person got his comeuppance in a manner consistent with his own rhetoric, and so all of the right's hypocrisy is exposed.
Fourth, that the shooter's engraving on his ammunition show pretty clearly that he's been failed by the education system and has succumbed to the sort of memeing brain rot that has become our modern plague, so I get to talk about that.
Charlie Kirk was simply a person who improved a room by his absence. And now, he's gone for good.
They're trying to say the shooter "Had a trans girlfriend" and therefore was "totes a leftist". Though there's no evidence of the relationship or the person even being trans.
I’m not one to celebrate murder, but I’m also not all that upset or surprised either
TBF, it's literally me. I probably shouldn't front like nobody is celebrating because my post history is full of heinous and bloodthirsty jubilation at his death. I'm just not at risk for the doxxing that 4chuds are doing this week so I'm not hiding it.
But you know the fact Kirk died and not any of the individuals who are now pretending to be victims is a fluke belying that the shooter had priorities beyond affecting the actual changes that would result from their deaths.
This isn't actual fear, this is just opportunism to play victim once again and drum up more insanity from people who are so far removed from danger that it only exists mythologically to them
