Let's remember Charlie Kirk for who he was.

"I can't stand the word empathy, actually. I think empathy is a made-up, new age term that does a lot of damage." -Charlie Kirk

It’s insane…. Dude was a podcaster. Yea it was sad like it is when anyone dies. Dude didn’t hold any offices or anything. We could talk about what he could have become all day, but all he was, was a podcaster that was passionate about his message. The amount of attention he is getting is ridiculous… as if he was a past president.

I'm an atheist so I do think it's unfortunate when people die because I believe we only get one shot at life. We don't go to cloud city and do jello shots with Jesus.

That said, Kirk getting shot is clearly a case of fuck around/find out.

If you cuddle with a rabid badger, don't be surprised if it bites you.
