Two weeks ago I’d never heard of Charlie Kirk. Literally never. I had no idea who he was.

In the days since his death my entire news feed is stories, not so much about Kirk, but about the various comments “people” have made regarding said death. In general the storyline goes something like this: person posts that A.) they’re happy that he died, or B.) somehow he had it coming. And then others either applaud this or the original poster receives backlash.

This is what passes for “news” these days.

See opening sentence for how I feel about Charlie Kirk. I at least know that he wasn’t a murderer or a war criminal or anything like that. Yeah, “people” were probably happy when Hitler died; this is a little different.

Nobody deserves to be murdered. Come on, “people.”
