A devasting week for the family and loved ones of the now, late Charlie Kirk. An outcome, I personally wish never happened because I wouldn't wish death upon anybody except for those who's existence is a threat to more people.
Go online and you'll see the opinions people have regarding the assassination. If you haven't yet, spoiler alert, some are actually rejoicing over his death.
Their justification is mostly based on his statements, his contradictory opinions and his beliefs.
His ideology about the necessity of gun deaths is one that is trending a lot and that's mainly what some people look at and call rather ironic that he died by gun violence.
However this post on Tumblr did catch my attention.

According to the creator, the FBI offered $100,000 to anyone that'll bring valid information that could help them get the shooter arrested. Remember the Luigi case and the lady who ratted him out to the cops, well she didn't get that kind of compensation for doing so.
Some people think that the government is treating Charlie's death case more seriously than they would with others. An anonymous person even pointed out that, the murder case of little children are not investigated as much as the investigation going on with Charlie Kirk's assassination.
Well in my opinion, all human beings are to be treated equally but, Charlie is technically a key player in the Trump team and so they do take this matter more personal than other assassination cases. This is not an intention to justify but rather to give a reason why this is the case.
It really is more than just an assassination of a political member, it's a literal attack on free speech.
After watching the clips of the assassination, I swore right there to myself never to get myself involved with anything that is even remotely connected to politics.
Anyone that goes out in public and is known for giving controversial opinions will be on serious alert right now. There's panic in the atmosphere and people are very troubled by this.
I had a personal chat this Sunday with a friend, and to my amazement she spoke just like a lot of people on social media. She literally said she's happy it happened to Charlie Kirk, and her reasons are no different from what I see online. They pick up his own statements to justify their joy in seeing him die. Well, maybe the word joy is a bit too far in describing the expression of my friend, but she did say it was quite difficult to feel remorseful.
Some are even upset the government is making a big deal out of it and the fact that Trump ordered the flag to be lowered in honor of Charlie, doesn't sit well with some people too.
If I'm being honest, it's very difficult to defend all this because of the controversial statements of Charlie Kirk. However, it does show that sometimes what you say could have a devasting impact on your life.
Rest in peace Charlie Kirk, he most certainly will never be forgotten.
I believe what we can do positively about this incident is to raise more awareness about the prevailing issue of gun violence. The government should make better policies that'll reduce the rate at which people are dying because of gun violence.
A lot of innocent people are dying because of the lack of better policies around gun ownership. Whoever shot him, and the people that enter schools, churches, and different locations to shoot and murder the innocent can't do it if they don't have access to the guns. Sure they might resort to other weapons but at least it won't be guns.
