@NerdyPotato That is a really old school mentality because the dead can no longer defend themselves.
Which, who cares. They should have been heavily challenged in life. These days, most are and still show they are garbage. Especially today where every website is a platform to speak freely.
If I thought someone was horrible in life, I'm not gonna stop just because they're dead. Just ask my mom about my thoughts on my grandma for proof.

If you're at war, there are typically rules of engagement. Do not target medics, medical infrastructure, journalists, or civilians - especially children. Don't use chemical weapons. There's a bunch.
If side 1 respects these rules and follows them carefully, and side 2 refuses to, who has the advantage?

@FoxyQueen It's a metaphor for political conflict.
There's similar rules of engagement, right. Go and scream at each other in the house or your parliament, and then go have a beer afterwards and agree to disagree. If someone shot Colbert back in the Colbert Report days, George W Bush would have been at the funeral guaranteed. George W Bush is an evil, evil man. But he'd follow those rules. If someone shot Colbert today, Trump would go golfing.
The entire basis of MAGA is getting rid of those rules in pursuit of power. Nothing matters but winning, control, and destroying the enemy. Charlie Kirk was a key part of that, per your quote, he pushed for political violence.
Part of their game is then requiring the other side follow those old rules. They don't have to do shit, but you MUST show sympathy, sorrow, gratitude, and respect.
They do that because it makes their opponents weaker. It's a trap.

He didn’t kill anyone nor did he condone killing. Yet, he was killed by someone that could not tolerate him speaking words he disagreed with. He WAS yet another victim of the intolerant Left…

@JimboSaturn Not to meantion, his good works of "trying to spark debate in young adults" really amounted to bullying teenagers.
