    It doesnt help though. All it does is justify Charlie's actions during his life and serves to sanewash him. The move would have been to not defund public education all those decades ago. Doing this now just legitimizes hate speech

    I guarantee you everyone will forget about Kirk dying a couple weeks from now, far from martyrdom. Facts don't mean anything to these brainwashed morons, one of their "grievances" is the "stolen election" for Christ's sake. Personally I'll endure a couple weeks of hypocritical crocodile tears from the right to never hear another racist/transphobic/moronic utterance from that puckered asshole he called a mouth for the rest of my natural life.

    Yep. This won't meaningfully raise the temperature, they will keep doing what they always do. However, this might actually improve things in the long run. He routinely targeted kids for indoctrination, without his influence things will improve.

    Yeah like when Rittenhouse murdered two people, am I right?

    If he wants to engage the right in any meaningful way, he has little choice because Charlie was made into a martyr.

    The best practical outcome may be messages like this and recognition the killing was infighting, not a leftist move. Maybe the broader conservative movement figures out you can't stir up violent extremism and expect it to consistently point in the direction you would want.
