The 17-year-old suspect from Garwood — a son of a retired police officer and the nephew of the Westfield police chief — was charged Wednesday with the first-degree murders of Maria Niotis and Isabella Salas.

Relatives of Niiotis said the teen had been stalking her for months — something the teen suspect acknowledged on livestreams of his MLB co-op games, which attracted thousands of followers on TikTok.

So that’s two people’s lives taken to punish them for laughing at another’s death.

So far I have not heard of any killing due to someone taking the mockery too seriously.

The condemnation of the mockery has just taken two lives. So those who think violence is never okay, their extreme, pearl clutching reaction is just as bad as mockery (or in this case worse).

According to the article, he stalked one of the girls for months. This clearly had very little to do with Charlie Kirk.
