We hanged people like Charlie Kirk at Nuremberg. It's a tragedy he was shot, but the world is a better place with him 6 feet under ground.

You don't have to use the word tragedy to be a good person

It was a tragedy. Vigilante justice always is. Charlie Kirk didn't deserve to be shot by a vigilante. He deserved to be tried, convicted, and hanged for crimes against humanity and incitement to genocide.

And just like that US is now like UK where online comments lead to charges.

They are doing this for a specific purpose.
