They're trying so hard to equivocate this with the Mangione killing, when this is so much worse.
The UnitedHealthcare guy was following naked self interest and arguably making America worse with dishonest business practices and lobbying to block legal avenues of claiming falsely denied coverage.
Charlie Kirk was trying to make America a better place, even if he had some blind spots.
And just in case anyone has trouble understanding the concept instinctually, you can rank wrongs without excusing the lesser one. E.g. Saying torture+murder is worse than just murder does not mean I'm suddenly ok with just murder.
If you can't get to the base premise of "it's really bad if people are being assassinated in public" and then work out your nuances from there, you've got no business discussing politics.
These aren't nuances it's basic distinctions.
There's a massive difference between Charlie and the crooked CEOs etc that have cost lives.
Plus plenty of Americans are happy for the cops to commit outright murders on the street
Also the john walker in that picture was the idiot that ran rockpapershotgun.
Literally every single word you said about the "crooked CEO" is being leveled against Charlie, and the left claim that Charlie is worse because he's spreading fascism. Adding your anti-cop comment on the end, makes it effectively indistinguishable from all leftist commentary. Perhaps you'd like to add that Charlie's comments on Israel supported genocide, and therefore he was more deserving of it?
This is why u/MLGS is right. It's a outright murder to start with, and if you can't accept that, then you shouldn't be in politics.

False equivalency is also a trait we see with these people and you too apparently.
Where was it said the crooked CEO was a fascist?
I don't see any anti-cop comments either?
Charlie Kirk, love him or hate him, was engaging in discourse. He was willing to subject his ideas to the crucible of the public square, and he invited everyone else to do the same. There is courage in that endeavor, especially during these highly polarized and (apparently) violent times. Assassinating such a man is more than an attack on his specific ideas. The very discourse was murdered here. The left have declared the national conversation finished.

I would have just gone with "fuck you" but I've been saying that a lot lately.
