      Allegedly.

      Someone allegedly murdered him.

      Kirk was open and proud that it was his belief to live in a society with guns was desirable even if it meant people were gonna get shot.

      He thought it was a good trade off.

      Now a gun went off. And Charlie Kirk is dead.

      This is America for all we know a cop was standing behind him and mistook a shadow for a Black man.

      Don’t fucking jump to he was murdered, he was shot.

      He wasn’t murdered he was weeded out.
      It’s all just part of the sacrifices necessary for the right to bear arms. It’s all good by his own account.

      Actually “He died” uses the active voice, whereas “He was murdered” uses the passive voice.

      Its the correct wording for when someone dies while being treated in the hospital. The initial reports were “shot and in critical condition” so now the headline is of course that he ended up dying.
