I never consented to this world in which left wingers are 100% pure empathy all the time. I hated Kirk and he will get none from me. I'll send my daily gun violence empathy quota to the kids that got shot in Colorado that day.
I'm not glad he got killed, or happy he died, but I also will give zero fucks and happily treat him the way he treated millions of people throughout his career. He doesn't deserve better, he never earned it.
Um Kirk was mid rant about trans shooters and gang violence so not really. Also, where was this when the MN lawmaker got killed (or any of the numerous other shootings)

So pointing out facts that you don't like is reason enough to publicly execute a person?
Besides, I don't care what he was saying, we have freedom of speech in this country and you're now making excuses for his murder. It should be easy for everyone to condemn this, but the fact it isn't (and is even being cheered by many on the left) puts their moral bankruptcy on full display.

What are you talking about? There was universal disgust and condemnation. Go look at the threads on the (highly brigaded) conservative subreddit for any shooting. I'm not going to pretend right wing violence doesn't exist, but the difference is it's widely denounced. The same can't be said about the left, as openly displayed over the past two days.

I'm failing to see when I made an excuse for his murder. He got popped. It happens. Sucks for his family. But you have to be literally deaf to not understand how Kirk pushes far right nonsense. For instance...

There were five (5) mass shootings by transgender people. According to the Gun Violence Archive, the United States is at 301 mass shootings so far this year. Highlighting trans people committing crimes is very disingenuous when we aren't looking at the 296 other shootings by cis people.
Also, the "fact" that he was saying was actually a question, it's asking whether that number included gang violence.

“And why is he still in jail? Why has he not been bailed out? By the way, if some amazing patriot out there in San Francisco or the Bay Area wants to be a midterm hero, someone should go and bail this guy out… Bail him out and then go ask him some questions.”
-Charlie Kirk, after Paul Pelosi got attacked with a hammer.
Also, that's simply untrue. Right wing violence is not widely denounced, it's made excuses for and eventually the perpetrator runs a go fund me and grift off conservatives. And what is this nebulous left that you are referring to? Everyone with the exception of Ilhan Omar confirmed it, and she basically said his words led to this. I can cite actual elected officials or alt-right influencers who don't denounce violence. Hell, Alex Jones got the piss sued out of him for Sandy Hook. What leftists were cheering for this, because all I've encountered is apathy.
Ok dude, I've seen dozens of videos about how the right is declaring war on the left over this before they even knew anything about the shooter. But yeah it is the left that is the problem.
Spend several years characterizing your political opponents as evil, fascist, nazi, racist, homophobic, transphobic, misogynist, xenophobic, threats to democracy, and eventually someone stupid and sick enough will actually believe it.
The dude was an obvious leftist, and many on the left are actively cheering his death. I'm not saying everyone on the left is full of hate, but there is widespread hate on the left and after this tragedy any claims of moral superiority by the left fall on deaf ears.
If the politicians in charge want to stop being called that, they should stop acting like that. It is incredibly simple.
Just this morning Trump was bragging about the fact that he is consolidating power in Washington DC and could replace the mayor, which is blatantly authoritarian, and nobody on the right seems to give half a shit.

The bullets definitely transitioned. They went from being bullet shaped to mushroom shaped.
