Ironically, Charlie Kirk didn't want empathy from or for his supporters.
"I can't stand the word empathy, actually. I think empathy is a made-up, new age term that – it does a lot of damage."

@ElwoodBlues LOL, you want to start the cherry-picking and out of context statements?

The people celebrating, are against free speech. The thing is, whether you agreed with him or not, he had the right to say everything he said. Just like anyone else in America. So to celebrate his death because you didn't like him, is against free speech, and inhumane. My thoughts. I didn't watch the guy until today and i didn't watch much. It doesn't matter though, what he said, he was a human being with a family.

Well, MAYBE if you were publicly telling people that having people murdered every year was the price we should pay for our god-given right to guns, I MIGHT chuckle. But I don't laugh at the death, even if I can see the karmic side of it.
Therealsteve · 31-35, M
@ChipmunkErnie So, is it chuckle-worthy or not?
ChipmunkErnie · 70-79, M
@Therealsteve Nope, nothing to laugh about really. Live by spreading hate, dying for hate is not surprising -- but not funny.

Leftists back peace inside the country and gun control, disarming the population. We also back peace between nations, , disarmament of all countries, equality between nations, universal human rights and socialism. There's no left in US politics because hardly any Americans need peace, respect for other countries, socialism or equality of any kind!

@carpediem Don't block them. Retaliate. The space that you can hide to will get smaller and smaller as they are emboldened to destroy more and more. Retaliate with an iron will of resistance. They want humanity intimidated, instead see this as a deeper motivation to boldly retaliate.

It's hard to feel any sympathy for a man who did nothjng but wish harm on others when harm comes back to him
sunsporter1649 · 70-79, M
