> Why does he get to say that when others are murdered but others can't say that when he is murdered?

Because we aren’t Charlie Kirk?

This isn’t to high when they go low crap. This is about basic human decency. It’s also about not turning him into a martyr.

It's a simple matter of 2 wrongs not making it right. How can you in the same sentence say that Kirk is wrong for endorsing violence, while at the same time endorsing this shooting?

No one here is “endorsing” the shooting. Simply pointing out that empathy is not a guarantee in life.

For the downvotes:

"I think empathy is a made up New Age term that does a lot of damage" - Charlie Kirk

I think Kirk is a giant sack of crap, but as a rule, I want to not behave in ways that I find objectionable in others.

So, really, it's not about Kirk. It's about me (or us: the folks I tend to side with ideologically).

I don't think this falls under the paradox of tolerance, by the way.
