Freedom of Speech Wasn’t Meant to Protect Those Who Support Assassinations 

Charlie Kirk was murdered for promoting peaceful dialogue. Celebrating his death isn’t principled dissent—it’s a tacit endorsement of political assassination.

Commentary 

The recent assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk sparked grief and protests around the world. When some with opposing views openly celebrated the killing, it raised serious questions about the limits of free speech in a democratic society. 

Kirk’s work focused on attempting to prevent violent clashes between opposing viewpoints through debate and peaceful dialogue—yet his life was taken in the most violent way imaginable. Celebrating his death isn’t a political statement—it’s support for assassination, a serious criminal act. The actions of supporting violence may not always violate the law, but they will have consequences.
