Some are. And this deserves nothing but condemnation. I thought Kirk’s views and positions were absolutely abhorrent. But I supported to his right to promote them and it’s a tragedy that his life came to end like this.
This is like when Madelyn Murray O’Hair disappeared and was later found to have been killed, if people here remember that. Whatever you think of the person, they’re still a person and they don’t deserve violence.
Very reasonable
Other than the bit where he labeled views he wasn't even familiar with "abhorrent"

Which views were abhorrent?
That children rape victims should be forced to carry pregnancies to term
That MLK Jr was a bad person
That the Civil Rights Act of 1965 should never have been passed
That empathy is bad
That “black women do not have the brain processing power to otherwise be taken really seriously. You had to go steal a white person's slot to go be taken somewhat seriously."
He doubted that Black people were generally qualified to do their jobs
He endorsed Leviticus’ prescribed stoning for gay sex as “perfect”
As much as I find all the detestable, Charlie Kirk was a living, breathing human and it’s a tragedy how his life ended and I’m extremely sorry for his family and loved ones.

Context matters.
Child rape the position is that murdering the baby is just righting a wrong with another wrong. I don't agree with him but it's not an "abhorrent" position.
MLK Jr. was a very flawed man. He witnessed a rape and encouraged the rapist. He was an adulterer... Thinking that makes him a bad guy isn't "abhorrent". You literally think the founding fathers were all evil because they had slaves. You could make an effort to be at least remotely intellectually honest.
Saying the Civil Rights Act shouldn't have been passed does not mean that Jim Crow and all the Democrat racism was preferable. The position is that the act was flawed and some of it's terrible provisions resulted in the complete destruction of the black family which is undeniable.
Empathy alone guiding policy is a very bad thing. If you disagree start feeding stray cats from your porch and see how that works out for you.
Kirk was anti-DEI but that quote sounds like something you made up or got from someone else who made it up. DEI is racist and damages the person being unfairly rewarded and the person being punished for their immutable characteristics.
DEI creates the doubt because it literally ignores merit.
The leviticus thing was in response to a non-believer trying to pluck verses a la carte out of the Bible. Kirk didn't make the law the Bible did...
You have absolutely no understanding of the context in a single example.
GUNS, too many of them and too many people who shouldn't have access to them.
Vegas, Sandy Hook, Columbine, Theater, UVA, Buffalo, Tyler and on and on. Men + Guns. Until a certain set of our society admits their too many guns and too many guns in the wrong hands this will continue to happen. Are you in support of red flags laws? The ideology and motivation for people with scrambled brains won't help beforehand unless effective red flags laws exist and guns are hard too access in general.
Is that blood on your hands btw...
There's over 400 million guns in circulation and yet only a handful of animals choose to use them this way.
Blaming guns is silly.
Even if you got your wish and they were banned the criminals would still have access to them.
Look at Australia. The only places gun bans work are countries that didn't have hardly any guns to begin with.
what? i didnt justify his murder. just pointing out kirk got killed by his own - a variant christian nationalist. you can try to blame liberals all day - most (if not all) political violence comes from the right. its great to see right on right crime though. do us all a favor and just keeping off’ing each other.
Nope, shooter was a leftist. There's a mountain of evidence by now, that's why the leftists here are pivoting back to gun control.

Abhorrent??. Show us evidence. Nevermind, you cannot. Team Donkey still loves you.
If you had a point you wouldn't feel the need to lie.
A leftist antifa thug is not a "christian nationalist" even if it puts a thrill up your leg to lie about.
And saying the dude's in hell is a pretty clear indication you think he deserved it despite your having absolutely no idea who the guy was or what he believed.
lol you’ll call him whatever causes you the least amount of cognitive dissonance.
kirk was going to heel no matter when he died. i didnt kill him, i didnt ask for it. i just dont care when bigots get got by other bigots.

I find that abhorrent.
I think you make a lot of mental gymnastics to try to justify any of it.
A building is on fire and is about to collapse. In one room, you have six month old toddler. In another, there are 20 frozen embryos. You only have time clear one of the rooms before the roof comes down. Most people would prioritize the living, breathing child over the 20 frozen embryos. Maybe you and Kirk wouldn’t have.

Perfect post(from a liberally spoon fed view point). NOW, research each of those "quotes " and see it in its entirety. Im not going to repost it.
Taking snippets and twisting the truth. You guys can't keep doing this.

Why don't the so called educated, educate themselves before lashing out? Is their tribal bond too strong for seeking the truth?

Because they form their opinions emotionally and you can't be reasoned off a position you arrived at emotionally.

He definitely stepped out on Coretta but if that’s disqualifying you’re going to hate what I have to tell you about our current President.
The Civil Rights Act was monumental in putting Jim Crow behind us.
Empathy is also fixing the stray cats.
Kirk said it immediately after that plane landing at Reagan was struck by a helicopter and he assumed that underqualified pilots were to blame.
Bronze age laws aren’t generally compatible with modernity.
Back to topic: I couldn’t have disagreed more with Kirk but I’m very sorry for what happened.
There's no mental gymnastics of any kind. I know Kirk's positions because I followed him and watched his debates.
You just know the quotes with zero context.
Kirk would save the baby not the embryos. He'd been asked this question.
A friend of MLK denying a negative story with zero evidence doesn't prove anything. He was still an adulterer and a host of other things. Trump being a terrible husband doesn't make MLK a good husband.
The Civil Rights Act caused more problems then it solved. You do not understand the position even a little bit because you're just reacting to 1 sentence. At no point did Kirk ever say Jim Crow was a good thing and that the Civil Rights Act had zero good points.
DEI ignores merit and rewards immutable characteristics. It is a racist program. You can disagree but you can't call his position "abhorrent".
If gay people don't like Bronze Age laws why are they desperate to join a religion that follows them? You can disagree with Christianity but calling it abhorrent is absurd particularly as a person like yourself who believes in subjective morality.
You're allowed to disagree. You're not going to get away with calling positions you don't even understand abhorrent.
Everything you listed is wrong. People who are too lazy/low IQ to understand when they are being lied to are being radicalized by lies like this.
As I have been saying all along. The shooter turned into a raging unhinged leftist and utterly rejected the conservative values from his parents.
🚨 BREAKING: High school friend reports that alleged Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson was "the only member of his family that was really leftist," per the Guardian.
