I’m willing to bet that not one of the people who lost their jobs were upset over the cancellation of thousands of careers like yours. If a doctor or teacher cheers on murder, I want to be nowhere near them.

Twenty years ago this would have been the behavior of fringe fanatics. That it’s mainstream is terrifying.

"The Evildoers responsible for my husband's assassination have NO IDEA what they have done.

If you thought that my husband's mission was powerful before, then you have no idea what you have just UNLEASHED across this entire country and this world.

You have no idea the fire 🔥 that you have ignited!

The cries of this widow.....❗️"

It isn't clear which is greater, her grief 😔 or her angered determination. I believe it's her grief. But, man, she's pissed.

Yesterday, you would have angered me with this comment. But then I realized something. You are to be pitied among all humans. Because of your empty soul, you delight in producing hurt and anger in others who are grieving. You feed on this anger and hurt because you haven’t the capacity to feel yourself. You lie about the facts of Charlie and his shooter because you have no truth in you. I pray for your immortal soul.

Why pitied? Where do you get that they delight in all of these things. You know what I see? I see people so divided on the political spectrum, they have lost their moral code and that includes you. I have yet to see anyone celebrating Charlie Kirk's death. Stop looking for excuses to hate.

No. John, are they truly celebrating or are they acknowledging and repeating things that he has said, that is not celebrating. I have not seen one person on tiktok on Facebook, YouTube or anywhere else actually celebrating his death.

I think these individuals should no longer be considered "mainstream." The dem party is much smaller than it was which of course means the concentration of nutcakes is a bigger number, but normal people (the group without big mouths) are in the majority. So some crackpot is happy that Charlie Kirk was killed, well, duh. It isn't that there is any majority, it's how whacked-out they are. It's the degree of crazy.

Relax. I'll bet Charlie would want that.

As a physician, I am horrified and saddened by the discovery of monsters in the medical profession, but not remotely surprised. I have known outright communists, and Nazi sympathizers, in my career.

Are you really that proud of being a hateful person? Oh and what big words! "fascist tradition of stochastic terrorism"! Do you know what any of those words actually mean? And how they all apply very well to the Left and its disgusting, but very revealing, reactions to Charlie's assassination? Do you realize that fascism is adjacent to socialism, definitely not a politically-right concept? And the Left has been engaging in a lot of stochastic terrorism the last 10 years or so, escalating all the time. Look in the mirror and think about who you are, and if you want to be that person. That is what Charlie was about, dialog, discussion, and, if his listeners were willing, to change their viewpoint. He was never violent to anyone.

I disagree: if you want to show that you're a ghoul and celebrate a person's murder, fine. But no organization, government or civilian, should want to have you on their payroll. There is a clear dividing line between decency and mental illness - and if you want to broadcast your mental illness, you should be shunned and unemployed.

Exactly. Free speech means you are protected from being arrested or killed —killed!— for speech. Not that a company must continue to employ you if you celebrate an innocent man’s murder.

Expand full comment
Deborah's avatar

Many companies have corporate codes of ethics and conduct. Having employees who celebrate murder may violate those codes and certainly do not reflect well on the company. It is especially important for people in public positions to display high levels of personal and professional ethics, so I think firing is appropriate. I certainly would not want my children's teacher to be posting openly online where many in the community can see it that murder is good.

The 1A stops the government from regulating speech. Private firms do not have to hire you. Or continue to employ you.

There is a massive difference though between someone being fired because he has a Trump sign in his yard, and someone loudly proclaiming ‘it is okay to murder conservatives’.

Would any of us as a conservative want to see a doctor or a nurse who thinks it is okay to kill us? Would I buy a meal in a restaurant where the staff openly thinks it is okay to kill conservatives. Or have a teacher teach our children that?

I walked by a restaurant where they had a sign with all the Liberal slogans on it - Hate has no home here. Love is love. Etc. They declared they served all people. Well, duh! Of course they do. What restaurant turns down paying customers? The hostess standing outside said ‘All are welcome here. We serve everyone’. She said it like restaurants all over Victoria have signs saying ‘No Blacks or Gays Allowed’. I said ‘I am a conservative Christian real estate developer. Am I welcome?’ Her eyes narrowed, her smiley face became grim, she said ‘of course, everyone is welcome’. Zero welcoming warmth. It made me laugh. As if I would let them cook me a meal. They would pee in it.

Who’s saying it’s ok to kill conservatives? I’m asking in good faith. I’m liberal leaning in many respects, but have lots of MAGA friends and family. I get frustrated arguing with them but I don’t want them dead. You seem to be openly advocating for financial punishment against a certain viewpoint. That itself seems like a very fascist thing. I know you’re frustrated and upset. I am as well, but we can’t fix this problem by giving our government the power to punish our ideological enemies.

If a Liberal posts Charlie ‘got what he deserved’ that person is essentially saying ‘if you believe what CK does and you speak it out you deserve to die’. Charlie just talked. He debated.

If a person believes Charlie Kirk deserved to die there are a lot of positions they should not hold.

It is fairly easy to find a large group of people celebrating his death. Libs of TikTok listed several.

If you celebrate his death for stating opinions I share you are advocating for my death. I guess the question is this:

How many people do I have to share my opinion with before I am as deserving of death as Charlie Kirk was?

1, 5, 100?

How prominent do you want. The endless list of TikTok clips asking if trump was dead yet? An endless list of people encouraging more death in response to Charlie Kirk?

An endless list of people bemoaning the missed opportunity to kill Trump?

A picture of a famous comedian holding trumps severed head? A former intelligence officer posting a call to 86 trump?

Punch a Nazi?

Every prominent democrat calling Trump a threat to the existence of our country?

How do you treat a threat to the existence of your country? With debate?

Here is the crux since you have no ability to see the obvious-

Charlie Kirk voiced opinions that you disagree with.

The left, no doubt including you, called his ideas dangerous and claimed he threatened the lives of people by saying things that are TRUE. His opinions were DANGEROUS. That lie begets violence. It is simple and true and undeniable so as a leftist you will not understand.

Can you cite specific examples of mainstream conservatives who advocate for murder of liberals? In contrast, there are dozens if not hundreds of clips of prominent liberals, including quite a few elected officials, who advocate violence against conservatives, perhaps not explicitly to murder (although there are countless examples of liberals wishing Trump dead), but coming very close to explicit murder.

And don't bring up fringe right-wing crackpots, they have very little audience or following outside their own subculture, most regular conservatives couldn't name a single one or tell you what they believe. In contrast, I think everyone in the country can name many liberals who spout extreme views constantly and tell you exactly what they say.

Trump's rhetoric: Former President Donald Trump has repeatedly used inflammatory language against political opponents, including calls to "fight like hell" before the January 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol. https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2024/10/trump-violent-rhetoric-timeline/680403/ has documented a timeline of his violent remarks, including referring to "the enemy from within," like Democrats, as more dangerous than foreign adversaries.

Response to Kirk assassination: In the wake of Kirk's murder, some figures on the right, including conspiracy theorist Alex Jones and former Trump adviser Steve Bannon, have responded with calls for "war". This is despite other prominent conservatives calling for calm and condemning the murder.

QAnon conspiracy theories:Some conservative groups, particularly among white Christian evangelicals, have been found to be outsized supporters of the QAnon conspiracy. This conspiracy promotes the baseless claim that Democratic politicians and other elites are involved in a Satanic pedophile ring, a narrative that fuels extremist beliefs and political violence.

Targeting specific individuals:Research shows that women and minority officials are disproportionately targeted with harassment and threats. Conservative figures have also specifically targeted and attacked prominent liberals. For example, in July 2024, top Republicans amplified attacks on Kamala Harris, labeling her a "dangerous liberal" in an effort to paint her as an extremist. 

Escalating political violence

Increased political polarization: Experts warn that the heated political environment, fueled by extreme rhetoric, incentivizes demonization of political rivals and makes violence more likely. A 2025 study found that exposure to violent rhetoric from partisan elites increased support for political violence among their opponents.

Rising threats and incidents:Recent years have seen a surge in political violence, including threats against election administrators and plots against politicians. A poll of former Members of Congress in 2024 revealed a disturbing rise in political violence threats.

Increased support for violence: In a September 2024 poll, a significant number of Republicans and Trump-supporting Republicans indicated they would support taking violent actions if they believed the 2024 election was compromised.

I’m struggling to understand this attitude. If Charlie Kirk has the right to speak his mind, why doesn’t Christina Ricci? If you don’t want to her opinion, that’s fine. Don’t spend your money on her movies. But if you advocate for her to be stripped of the right to earn a living then how is that not fascist? Either people have a right to ugly opinions you disagree with or they don’t. You can’t have it both ways.

Christina Ricci has the right to say what she wants. I will never see one of her movies. I am not advocating no one hires her again. But I won’t spend my money on that film. She wants me dead.

I’m all for every leftist liberal shit poster losing their job. They have crossed the line of acceptable speech when their words have pushed these extreme ideas as normal. It’s not normal. The assassination of Charlie Kirk was senseless and cruel. He was a dedicated Christian, a powerful speaker with a great future ahead of him. He loved his Savior Jesus, his country, his wife and children. His family has suffered a great loss. Those two small children didn’t deserve to lose their dad. Those issuing an apology linked to gun violence are just trying to ignore the real threat. We have teachers and professors, media, and Democrat politicians calling anyone not agreeing in lockstep as fascists. They have poisoned the minds of many. It’s this violence that caused his death. They aren’t sorry, just CYA pitiful apology, when they have pushed extreme hate. Thankfully, many are seeing the truly ugly side of these people and leaving the Democrat party. They have shown true evil in their uncontrolled outrage of hate and exposed their pure corrupt ugly hate that a normal person cannot oblige or go along. I hope this helps to utterly destroy the Democrat socialist party and may they never be in power and be afraid of the wrath put on them.

Free speech law only applies to the government abridging citizens’ free speech rights. Employers are not bound by this and thus are absolutely allowed to suspend or fire employees who post opinions the employer doesn’t agree with and believes reflects poorly on the company or university.

Let's get just one thing straight here, Sasha; people are not losing their jobs for "having an opinion."

Or teach your children in school?

The ghouls have proven themselves dangerous. Charlie Kirk's corpse should be all the proof you need of that -- literally, physically *dangerous*. It is necessary for my preservation and yours that the ghouls not be allowed to remain in positions of power and/or trust.

This arose from the idea that speech itself is violent, and by people misreporting and distorting what Charlie Kirk actually said to portray him as a hateful person. Anyone who’s watched his videos can see he didn’t hate anyone.
