Let's remember Charlie Kirk for who he was.

and called for Biden's execution

[–] Lumisal@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago

Yeah but to a lot of people "those are just words". So I always bring up a key action of his too.

[–] Bennyboybumberchums@lemmy.world -4 points 2 days ago (2 children)

So? He did it the same context that all of you call for Trump to be executed. Are we all deserving of a bullet now?

He didnt like Biden, and saw his actions as treason. “should be put in prison and/or given the death penalty for his crimes against America.” How many of us havent said the exact same thing about Trump???

I don't want Trump dead. I want him in prison doing time for the 34 felonies he was convicted of.

Me too, but if hes guilty of treason, the penalty for that is... death or imprisonment. So some people, are of the view that death is what he deserves for his crimes.

[–] IndridCold@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 day ago

Him alone in a jail cell with no social media or platform is far more satisfying to me.

I would not be upset if he died at any point, and I think the world would be a better place, but I want him to reflect on his crimes.

nobody's claiming that I've never condoned political violence or anything tho

[–] Bennyboybumberchums@lemmy.world -2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Neither did he, in this context. I just dont get it, honestly. The man said some horrible shit, but for some reason, you people only ever want to talk about the shit he didnt say, or the contextless clickbait he kinda did say but not the way its being taken. Why? If you stick to the truth, you'll get a lot less pushback. From normal people at least.

he literally condoned political violence though, and people are saying he never did

all over Facebook and YouTube and tiktok. it's not hard to find

Apparently it is, cos everytime I look I dont see it. I see clickbait headlines, quotes without context, and just made up shit. So... ya know, show me.
