    THANKYOU. His views were vile, his behaviour was repugnant, and no doubt the world is better without him. That doesn’t mean it’s ok to kill someone because their views are awful!! I’m horrified seeing how many people think it’s ok to do this

      Soo… who is disenfranchising these Nazis? Who is systematically taking away their resources? Because it looks to me like they keep getting stronger, and I don’t know what else will stop them other than fear of death.

      Don’t forget, fascists ultimately want to horrifically murder anyone who doesn’t blindly obey them. So if it must be either civilized people or them… sorry Charlie, you gotta go.

      Or did you want to wait and sacrifice a few dozen more innocent people so we could have yet more incontrovertible truth that fascist ideologies always lead to fascist outcomes?

      Would I overwhelmingly prefer he was deplatformed for his hate, ridiculed out of every spotlight, or censured through judicial means? Absolutely. ‘Vigilante justice’ on its own is no justice at all. But if this is a trolley problem, I know for a fact where I’m putting the switch. Do you?

      Even he said it was OK and “worth it” if he got killed. He also said that people shouldn’t have empathy.

      It’s okay to kill Nazis. Because it’s not just views. They are spreading violent rhetoric. He spread the white replacement and white genocide bullshit. He spread COVID misinformation. He said blacks were better off before the signing if the Civil Rights act.

      He was a dangerous fascist mouthpiece. And now he’s not.

      Nazi lives don’t matter.
