Raise Your Hand If You’re Glad Charlie Kirk Was Assassinated (So We Know Who You Are)
Issues & Insights ^ | 12 Sep, 2025 | I & I Editorial Board

Posted on 09/12/2025 8:12:46 AM PDT by MtnClimber

The assassination of Charlie Kirk was unlike anything any of us on the Issues & Insights editorial board have seen in our lifetimes.

Kirk didn’t hold any political power. He wasn’t rich. He didn’t call for or incite violence. He was a young man of strong beliefs who enjoyed debating other young people on the big issues of the day.

And for that, he was brutally murdered.

You’d think this would cause even his fiercest critics to stop for a moment and take stock in what just happened. If only out of consideration for his wife and two young children.

Instead, we’ve seen an orgy of mindless – no, not mindless, outright evil – celebration.

We will not link to any of the ugliness peddled by vermin who infest social media platforms.

Suffice it to say, they have eagerly raised their hands to be counted as among the most despicable human beings ever to exist.

Very well. Now it’s up to the rest of us to act on this information.

Employers should scrub social media and immediately fire – or refuse to hire – anyone they find who publicly celebrated Kirk’s execution. Colleges should expel them. Tenants should refuse to rent to them. Neighbors and friends should shun them.

Along these hopeful lines, the State Department yesterday issued a warning that foreigners found praising or making light of Kirk’s assassination risk having their visa applications denied or being deported. A website has also popped up that is collecting examples of leftists celebrating Kirk’s murder.

This isn’t about censorship. This is about consequences. This isn’t about retribution. It’s about accountability.

We aren’t calling for authoritarianism. We simply want communities to uphold the most basic standards of civility.

To wit: Anyone who delights in the public execution of an innocent civilian, and who is willing to broadcast their delight to the world, should have no place in a civil society.

We can no longer afford to do nothing while this death cult gathers strength.

Go after ANTIFA and those who fund them as a terror organization.

I agree but I also believe that our foreign enemies are fostering the hatred, discord and chaos in our country to being about our destruction.

Lest not we forget who indoctrinated this person...and why. They primed the pump and then turned him out, and there are possibly several million of them.

I see people in Congress doing that so I’m not going to blame foreign enemies when the domestic enemies do it.

But your mileage will vary

This all began when Obama, Big Mike, VJ and Holder came to the forefront in 2005-06.
The infiltration of universities of SJW and race based promotions began in 2000.
25 years later it is finally coming to an end.

As should their family members, every single one of them.

For those of you on Facebook, an activist named Ryan Fournier has been doing exactly that. He’s asking people to send him info on anyone who posts pro-murder sympathies on Facebook. So far, they’ve ID’d a number of people - teachers, nurses, businesspeople, etc.

Check him out as well as a few other people who are doing the same thing.

I am deeply offended by the liberals cheering Charlie Kirk’s murder, but at least they’re being honest, unlike the political/media liberals, who’ve knowingly inflamed lunatics by dehumanizing their opponents 24/7/365 for decades & now pretend to be disturbed by Charlie’s murder.

“We can no longer afford to do nothing while this death cult gathers strength.”

Absolutely.

I hope there is a solution, because the horse is out of the barn.

You just defined everyone at MSNBC. Those filthy evil bastards need to be dealt with. The entire network should be shut down and it’s propagandist comrades hounded to the ends of the earth. It is way past time to go after them. There needs to be consequences.

Go to a BlueSky-like site and pose the question: if the non-left were to behave like the left, who would be targets? Throw in a few beloved names to get things rolling, like Destiny, Sam Harris, etc.

ABSOLUTELY

And we MUST stop letting the left control the narrative.

Yes, accountability for your viscous, violent, self-centered destructive public beliefs.
