I will have empathy
How dare you dishonor his memory.

He had shitty opinions, we know. I won’t follow them. I will have empathy and I will not celebrate his death. Still, I think the world’s population improved with one less hateful person around.

The more we normalize assassinations, the worse the world becomes. America is slightly more fucked today.

He had shitty opinions
I think we should stop saying this.
He was killed for his actions, not his opinions. His members are the ones who kill for opinions.
Discussing his personal opinions feels like a bit of a republican both sidesing talking point, honestly. It was the same with talk radio hosts decades ago. People would argue whether Limbaugh or Hannity really believe all the BS or if they just do it for ratings.
I only remember caring about that distinction when I was still immersed in the conservatism I was born into.

What would you say if someone on the left was killed as revenge?

I’d also add the argument of, “Don’t stare into the abyss, lest we become the monsters we’re denouncing.”

You can celebrate his death without celebration his murder. I’m not from the us so what I think doesn’t matter, but I think both things can be true “good thing he is dead, his killer should get proper punishment, if everyone takes justice into their own hands we lose every semblance of a functional society”
