I feel like Charlie Kirk should be nominated for a Darwin award. Dude literally campaigned for guns, said it was Ok that some people die from gun violence and then got shot while sitting under a tent labelled "prove me wrong".

he had children

EDIT: which means he cannot get the Darwin award. this is not defending him.

So did John Wayne Gacy, what's your point?

Charlie Kirk's comment about "some gun deaths being necessary" was in response to a comment about school shootings involving small children, wasn't it? I don't remember exactly, why don't you look it up yourself?

Darwin award is for people who make themselves unable to reproduce.

I need to edit the comment in order not to sound like I'm defending him.

Yeah sorry I'm just used to people immediately jumping to defend this guy and make any negative comment about him illegal

no problem, I didn't think enough before posting
