Honestly, I question whether it is ever deserved. However, Charlie Kirk advocated for it, so I'm not exactly upset.
Right, he may have not deserved it, but he actively campaigned on the idea that deaths like his were acceptable losses.

Charlie Kirk would've supported what happened to Charlie Kirk

My local gay bar posted on Facebook about a massive increase in harassment, as well as a physical assault on a patron.
Stochastic terrorism.
A trans woman was attacked in Washington last week. People on Facebook are mask off, saying it was deserved.
Is this going to explode into an orgy of violence and then finally die down? Will something bad enough happy than people will be shamed back into calling evil, evil?
There were two separate shootings at homeless camps last week. I barely saw coverage of it.
I feel so much pressure and fear that I can’t think. I don’t understand why people are filled with so much hate. It can’t feel good, can it?
We have our Pride in October because of the summer heat, the board of my organization isn't worried about booth setup or swag or elevator speeches. They primarily want a map showing every possible exit scenario depending on where a shooter might begin. We are going forward with the expectation that Prides will be more violent. And that breaks my heart.
I mean the worst thing you can do is not do it, because that's what they want...
Exactly, we're steeling ourselves but we're gonna be there come hell or high water. I'm reminding my guys that the first Pride was a riot and the next 20 were protests.

It'll take multiple occurrences of a cisgender person being misgendered and shot to death over it for anything to happen and even then it'll be on the "thoughts and prayers" level of effort as it is with every other shooting that happens near daily here
When I’ve shared articles about cis women being accused of being trans in bathrooms/harassed, the response is always “this wouldn’t have happened if trans women stayed out of women’s bathrooms to begin with.”
They just seem to want to hate.
They are told to hate, so they do... and if you're looking for something your going to find it

It breaks my heart to read a sane, reasonable person being in the US right now. Hold tight, I hope you survive this
I mean, most of the people being attacked are the sane ones... so there's that

These fucking slack jawed brainlets still haven't come to terms with the fact that Kirk's killer was one of their own.

Have you heard Alex Jones lately? Shouting ‘kill, kill, kill’ like a rabid baboon?
There will be more of this.
WHAT THE FUCK!!! Why the fuck are we allowing that motherfucker to still have a platform? Doesn't he owe billion dollars to some families? Motherfucker needs to be drag off the air and beat to death.
I see you’ve listened to the latest Knowledge Fight.
Yeah, it’s baffling.
No never heard of it. Just know fucker owes a shit ton of money to the Sandy Hook families.
They listen to (and rip apart) Alex’s shit so you don’t have to. It’s quite good, though it may raise your blood pressure.
In the episode from 16 September (second to latest, actually), Alex shouts ‘Kill, kill, kill!’ in reference to the ‘woke trans agenda leftist terrorists’.

Imagine defying the universal odds and getting to be sentient for a blip of existence in a vast, ancient universe and you end up being this fucking loser.

It's not the point of the article, but this is absolutely not what a "martyr" is. I have the same reaction when ISIS members say they are becoming "martyrs" by suicide bombing groups of civilians. That's not what the word means, and you're just becoming a murderer.
The right are stochastic terrorist murderers, and we are the infidels.
Ya know, back in my Christian days I always thought it was pretty great that the bar for heaven was so low.... Now I crave the flame to avoid these fuckwits
Edit: typo

Officers said that he also made transphobic comments, including “transgenderism should be eradicated from public society.”
Hey Charlie? Where have we heard that from ? Charlie?
This guy represents the entire GOP and is one of their hero's. They are sad he was not able to complete his mission.
American conservatism is a racist domestic terrorism movement.
I'd say "change my mind", but you won't. Because that's quite literally what it is.

Surely the only tried and tested way to become a martyr for Chralie Kirk is to assassinate another right-wing talking head. This guy was just plotting plain old domestic terrorism. Mediocre.
Look guys. They caught another Antifa, about to commit political violence against the right. Oh, wait.
We had to 86 a guy this weekend. He was a regular, kinda off but never a problem. Well, this weekend he just started going nuts with this shit. Racism, transphobia, conspiracy theories. He was harassing the bartender and the two patrons sitting next to him. Took three of us walking out from the kitchen to get him to move. He was ready to go to war.

He told officers that he did not own a firearm but that he would buy one to shoot up the nightclub.
Okay... so dude calls crisis line to rant and rave and make threats. Cops get called on him. But then you go ahead and tell the cops you're going go buy a gun to shoot up the club?
You're in enough trouble as is, shut the fuck up, or actually don't so you spend more time in jail, but wow. So much fail.

Danm, it's a water mark! Was hoping he got his ass handed to him.
