Daily reminder that Charlie Kirk argued AGAINST free school lunch for kids. The multimillionaire said no child is hungry. (files.catbox.moe)

He didn't deserve to be killed, but he was an asshole.

No OP he did deserve it, as all Nazis do.

Now if we want to talk about anyone not deserving something it's all the poor sods who saw it happen. It's not pleasant watching someone die infront of you let alone violently.

Watching death sucks. Y'all remember that Russian invader who died in the shallow creek? Now that's a death I wouldn't even wish on Kirk.

Eh, they were there to watch him, which means they probably agree with him, which means they deserve to see the consequences of his ideology.

Actually, just like this video, his schtick was that he would take all comers to debate, and he always gathered a number of people who actually took that up and even if they knew he debated in bad faith, they saw the chance to be in the conversation and generate content supporting their contrary views by showing how much of an obtuse asshole Charlie Kirk was.

Large numbers of people went to his events to specifically disagree with him.
