I read today that Americans on the political right are going after anyone who is glorifying the murder of Charlie Kirk. They are publicly shaming such people on social media and encouraging their employers to fire them.
There are many parts of these events that I don’t understand. But to me, the greatest mystery of all is why anyone would think of murder as something to be celebrated, let alone say so publicly.
Sure, I and many others did not agree with things that Kirk said. But when someone is murdered in cold blood because they have said something that you disagree with, free speech itself is also being murdered.
