Trump supporter slams Charlie Kirk fans for trying to cancel celebrating liberals: 'It's freedom of speech'
UK Daily Mail ^ | September 15, 2025 | Victoria Churchill and James Gordon

Posted on 09/15/2025 5:01:38 AM PDT by C19fan

growing number of conservatives are voicing alarm over an aggressive campaign to track down and expose liberals who posted vile comments about slain activist Charlie Kirk.

Their insensitive and cruel comments have raised an internal debate about whether the retaliation effort is morally justified or dangerously hypocritical.

Among the loudest critics is conservative commentator Raquel Debono, who took to Instagram to question whether the right's efforts to get political opponents fired from their jobs are 'Christian' or even consistent with conservative values.

This is war. Firing is letting them off easy for now.

Increase the efforts to expose them and flush them out (and down).

Yet these same people trip over themselves blaming law abiding gun owners whenever some loser goes on a shooting spree -demanding laws to make our lives harder.
To hell with them all.

Well of course this article is out there. Fighting back has effectively cost a lot of evil doors cash.

What is wrong with Ms. Debono? Does she not know the difference between these two kinds of comments?

- I disagreed with Charlie Kirk. He was so stupid.
- I disagreed with Charlie Kirk. I’m happy someone killed him.

The first is free speech.
The second is a vile celebration of a political murder.

Raquel Debono is why the right consistently loses to the rabid leftists. Continuing refusal to fight them on their own despicable terms is why they keep gaining ground.

There’s a difference between free speech, and openly celebrating murder.

Right! What’s the cliche that the left always uses when conservatives complain about having their free speech censored?…”Well, you can’t yell ‘fire’ in a crowded theater.” Calling for the murder of your political opponents, or even of the President, is FAR more serious than falsely claiming there’s a fire, to use their analogy. It’s also illegal.

Punish them all to varying degrees, according to how explicit their personal threats are. And yes, make their employers aware of what they’re saying. They are literally assassinating people, and actively planning to murder even more. I’m not too concerned about the non-existent “free speech right” to advocate murder.

Raquel is just wrong. These insane and cruel haters don’t deserve to be on school boards, medical practices, etc.

They also need to learn self control.

How about when someone uses the N-word.

Would that also fall under ‘freedom of speech’ or does this just apply to whatever liberals determine is free speech.

Freedom of speech doesn’t mean freedom from consequences.

Grifter and her grifter friends is the vibe I get. I'll help set you up with a successful guy instead of a loser. You just have to play along. JMO, YMMV

It’s one thing for a leftwing bum in Central park, to yell “Charlie Kirk deserved to be killed”.

It’s quite another for a teacher, doctor, fireman, cop, librarian, media or government employee to be yelling the same thing, especially if they are in uniform, or on duty. These are people who are in a position of trust. They MUST be held to a higher standard, even when they are on their own time.

And YES, it is the Christian thing to do, to remove these unsavory cretins from their public roles. They only deserve hellfire.

If your coworker worker/doctor/teacher would celebrate the death of Charlie, they would celebrate your death. That is not a safe environment. They need to be removed.

Raquel, who? Never heard of her. Shut up, cuck. It’s never having stood up to these people that emboldened them, further and further, and look where that’s got us

And I, as a business owner, have the right to fire someone who doesn’t have the best interests of my company in mind, by exposing political values that could potentially cause harm to my company.

Hey, Raquel, Freedom of Speech is a two-way street. When you celebrate murder in speech, there are going to be free speech consequences from others headed your way.

><

Openly celebrating the murder of a well spoken political opponent who would one day maybe become President, is anti-Christian and anti-democracy. It is even worse than celebrating murder, if that can be possible.

Just because one is a Christian doesn’t mean a person must act like a wimpy fool.
