Calling Charlie Kirk a Nazi while celebrating his death. The irony. This whole thread should be locked.
I'm confused as to why you think those things are incompatible.
We've been celebrating the deaths of people for a very long time, including much cheering when bad people die.

bin Laden was a common enemy of the United States. Kirk was an American and you're just tossing that aside just because you disagree with him.
You keep handwaving Kirk being a moral monster who was actively making the nation and the world a significantly more hostile & dangerous place for millions of disadvantaged human beings as “You just disagree with him.” Why?
you act like violent rhetoric is not a staple of right wing tactics. if the left does it the right does it at the very least just as much but I would bet money it's much more.
are you conveniently forgetting the Minnesota shooter who impersonated a cop and had a whole political hit list? the far right is not innocent of violent rhetoric.
since i don't hear about violent rhetoric nearly as much on the left i went to do some good-faith research. here's the best article i could find on violent rhetoric by political ideology: https://www.journalofdemocracy.org/articles/the-rise-of-political-violence-in-the-united-states/
Kirk is a common enemy of a group of people too, the ones who are cheering.
bin Laden had supporters too.
Bin Laden was an ally of the United States, he was on the front cover of newspapers titled as a "Freedom Fighter."
