Everything he did in his life was useless regardless of whether he was shot or not.

yeah, and he worked on his legacy by just spewing out hatred to everyone, thats not white, christian and heteronormative.

The double standards here are disgusting. Apparently it is just fine to assassinate Charlie Kirk, but not other political figures like Chamenei? Either you condemn assassinations in general, or you don't. Being selective about that just makes y'all hypocrites. And no, I neither share Charlie Kirks politicals views nor those of the Republican Party as a whole.

What's wrong with assassinating the wealthy and powerful?

What happens to powerful individuals in nature? They face young upstarts who take them down and destroy them. Life goes on.

Everyone dies. It does not matter one iota how the wealthy and powerful die. They will. Society moves on. Their lives are of no lasting importance. Nobody needs them.

So the wealthy and powerful don't want to be killed early? Then they should stop clawing for limitless wealth and power. They don't want the people they've oppressed to murder them? Don't oppress regular people. If you don't want wealthy powerful people to be assassinated, pass and enforce laws outlawing the hoarding of wealth and power.

You don't like it? Too bad. People like that need killing.

Where? Where are these double standards you're yapping about? You are the one bringing Kahmeni into this. Please point out the hypocrisy for those of us too simple to notice it.

Charlie Kirk wasn't a politician so he was not the victim of a political assassination. He was a douche with a podcast who was the victim of a targeted school shooting.

That's great. It's just too bad that you're tilting at windmills because nowehere does the OP claim that they support assassinations or happy that someone assassinated Kirk (or anyone else for that matter).

It's clearly a sanctamonious fantasy you made up to feel superior and good about yourself.
