We already knew his views were wild and insane but killing him for it was a bad idea and cruel to his family and friends (I’m guessing he had some). Metaphorically jumping up and down on his grave is just bad taste. The best thing we can do is consign him to an obscure footnote in history and desist from publishing his views for him.

I’ll gleefully keep talking about a nazi getting his throat blown out by a 5.56 while he was actively blaming LGBT and black people for school shootings, deal with it. You want me stop, call up Trump and have him send ICE to my door.
Nah, violence is the only language they understand. These fascist have killed tons of innocent people, and Kirk was one of the propagandists that helped enable it. This was self-defense, and the only way to stop them from attacking us is to show that we will defend ourselves.
You’re the kind of person that will walk right into the gas chambers without a peep, and make it easy for the Nazis. They’re just doing their job, after all.
A lot of us aren’t taking it so easy. We’re going down swinging.
The only reliable way to deal with fascists is to kill them. They will keep killing us until we force them to stop.
Kirk might not have been out there shooting people in the street like a common beat cop, but he built a career out of stochastic terrorism. He suffered the same fate that he advocated for innocent people.

Name a more iconic duo than liberals and pearl-clutching. I’ll wait.

I’m honoring Charlie’s memory, it’s what he would’ve wanted.

you keep on clutching them pearls
I mean, it’s possible to be empathetic and still recognize when a dangerous piece of shit has it coming.
You seem real upset that a white christo-nationalist terrorism advocate is dead. Seems like you’re telling on yourself, fashy
Nope. The guy was clearly a shit. Just hope people rise above it and never speak about him again, there are better things to waste our effort on.

Just having some dignity about it.
Nope, this is a message to the MAGA Nazis. Turn it up LOUD.
In another context maybe, but linking it with his death doesn’t help the cause.

I’m not going down at all. Saying that makes it sound like right wingers have already won.
That’s the spirit!
