Again, he died doing what he loved: demonizing marginalized people
Remarkable last words:
Audience member: Do you know how many transgender Americans have been mass shooters over the last 10 years?
Kirk: Too many
Do you know how many mass shooters there have been in America over the last 10 years?
Kirk: Counting or not counting gang members?

It is a fact that Melissa Hortman was a public servant who helped people of all stripes, and a demagogue who preached white supremacy was a selfish hate-monger who helped no-one.

He died as he lived, from an inscrutable act of political violence while trying to place blame for the deaths of others on the specific identities of shooters, not the availability of guns nor the frequent calls for ideological violence against those deemed lesser.

this is all true but it's also hard to say how much that matters given the fact that this is literally their rhetoric all the time now
Rufo calling for mass arrests, Blake Masters & Cernovich calling for RICO against Dem & left funders, and a whole lot of everyday people begging for martial law, or, even worse, "gloves off." 99.9% of whom are just spouting off, but today if anything teaches us the damage that one .1% fool can do.

The story here isn't Kirk. It's how thousands of prominent right-wingers are calling for mass exterminations, for Trump to abolish the Constitution, for all Democrats to be rounded up and shot. The far-right faction of our politics has gone insane and is calling for mass violence

You can condemn political violence and also reckon with the very deep harm a victim of that violence has done in their short lifetime. This was a bad death of a bad person.
The fact Dems are tearing each other apart over this is why we can’t have nice things. Or actually fight fascism.

Pritzker nails this response. Folks, take notes.
Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker (D) on the shooting of Charlie Kirk:
"Political violence, unfortunately, has ramped up in this country ... I think there are people who are fomenting it in this country. I think the president's rhetoric often foments it."

Meanwhile, the person of interest will get more due process than your gardener. One committed murder. The other trimmed trees. Not saying the shooter doesn't deserve due process. Everyone does. That's the point.

The asymmetrical media response to political violence in America is, in itself, one of the most important contributing factors to how we arrived at this place of escalating political violence.
