This might be the clearest example of “making a martyr out of him” in recent memory.

I heard this phrase in movies and books growing up. People would say “nah we can’t kill him, that would just make a martyr out of him.” And I would always think come on, is that really going to stop someone from killing a rebel or agitator or whatever?

Well, we saw a second rate YT political influencer elevated to “13th disciple in Valhalla” status just by being shot. So I guess there’s your answer.
