    I find it hard to condemn this act of physical violence when Charlie Kirk was so willing to engage in acts of emotional and violence.

    Although, having watched some of the things Mr Kirk said, I think the man might have had some mental health issues (dude was convinced angels and demons were influencing polotics), and I do consider myself a advocate for the mentally ill. So, in that framework I have say “This was the tragic result of a mentally ill man being miss treated by a society that does not value mental health enough”.

      Mental health issues isn’t an excuse for being a piece of shit though. You can have mental health issues and also be the nicest person in the world. This guy spewed hatred and violent rhetoric everywhere he went.
