I don't condone unwarranted violence, and killing Charlie Kirk doesn't solve anything. I can't possibly imagine what drove the young Utah man to shoot Kirk. I can only assume he is some kind of crazy, like other shooters or would be shooters, like the guy in Florida who attempted to shoot Trump.

It's impossible not to note, however, the implicit irony of Kirk being shot since he stressed that the loss of several lives per year to firearm violence was an acceptable price for having the benefit of the 2nd Amendment. Kirk also claimed that empathy was a negative human attribute, or words to that effect, so I'm not wasting any of my time on sympathy or empathy for Kirk, his family, or his friends, confident that he wouldn't want me to. I guess it's not all that strange that a guy who promoted hate was shot.
