Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.

Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.

Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link.

If kirk was right, and most gun violence was black on black, does that make his death a dei killing?
I'm just happy that it happened
Although I worry about the fallout
Did that count as gang violence? Great...
Every year, on the anniversary of Charlie's death, I will do a shot to celebrate.
I love that idea!
And on the 4th of December I will do 3.
You'll have to neck it.
You must be a pain in the neck!
Glad I'm not the only one to notice that commenter sucking his own dick
I'm saddened to see how many people on this thread are just fine with killing a strong advocate for values that they do not hold.
This kind of hate just entrenches the "other team" deeper In their support of those other values, which doesn't just hurt you. It hurts the rest of us who hold similar values to yours.
It also makes it harder to differentiate our values from theirs because this is exactly what they do to the "other" and what we claim to be against.
Hate is the path to the dark side.
I am sad that I am ok with a strong advocate for values I do not hold, ending up murdered.
Values are not universally valid.
The values held by this dead person were harming society by the theft and denial of human rights for others.
Totally agree. I feel there is a difference between quietly feeling evil met with consequences and celebrating a murder.
It happened, society might be better off, but taking joy from murder and feeling that is good is likely to lead to much more death and mayhem.
Imagine someone murdered AOC and thousands celebrated. Would you be more or less likely to politically reconcile with people from that political group?
I would be less likely, which leads the whole society toward civil war and horrific bloodshed.
There are people who feel your values are invalid. Better watch your back if they feel the way you do about how to handle that.
One of those people caught a bullet.
Waah.
I'm saddened by people who are OK with a man using his very public platform to say things like this, and it's very clear they hate their own children. Please explain to me, if you have children, why do you support their murder? Sick and demented. Disgusting.
There's no place in this world for violence against children, but you disagree. Why?
Where did I even imply any of that vile crap you vomited up? You clearly lack the capacity to understand basic decency or form a simple argument worth discussing.
I'm fine with the fact that a harmful, hateful person who inspired people to perpetrate violence against vulnerable people is dead
That's all
The world is a better place without him, and I'm not going to pretend otherwise
If you don't think that people have been murdered by someone inspired by that worthless piece of shit, then you're delusional due to lack of oxygen from up on that high horse of yours
Nice - that will win friends and influence people. Keep it up.
If you need influencing to recognise wtf Kirk was saying... You're not worth the time.
Whoosh! That was sarcasm. I guess I need to add "/s" in the future.
Possibly. It's hard when it's been said without hint of irony...
It's the major flaw in text communications.
I have zero interest in being your friend
Whoosh! Again.
If the value is basically calling for a cleansing? Fuck your values.
I agree with that. I don't think that makes it okay to murder him, while you do.
No one sane said its okay to murder him. I'm fine with those being called "far left" fuck em, it's same level of grifters the right got.
We need less extremes.
