Political violence only begets more of the same. Don't like what Charlie Kirk had to say? You're at the event... at least try to talk to the guy before you waste him. That's why he was there, right? (I get that it's more complicated than that, but come on, people... this was out of hand years ago.)

Sounds like the killer was largely motivated by Kirk's anti-LGBT rhetoric (the male roommate who is cooperating with authorities was romantically involved with the killer). Free speech doesn't have to be pretty, kind, or even true to pass the bar; we're supposed to be able to say what we want, no matter how objectionable or offensive it might be to others, without being executed.

The anti-everything (from both sides) needs to stop if we're to have a chance of correcting the course to ruin we're on. We need to get focused back on the things 80% of us can all agree on and returning the BS we currentky base our politics on to the fringes, where it belongs.
