These posters should be able to articulate more substance & thought on the person they are defending.

As i said, it's very telling they choose not to engage with substance.
Nope, disagree - being unable to separate "If you're not outraged that someone was killed because of views they espouse you're a bad person" from "I support the views this person espoused" is just as much a failure of bandwidth as saying that people who are happy he's dead are in favour of political violence. Two things can be true at once on both sides of the coin. Which isn't to say that at least some of those posters may have been big Charlie Kirk fans; I'm just saying that the former statement doesn't entail the latter. You can't have your cake and eat it too here - the same logic works in both directions.

MAGAts in the comments pretend are whining and crying that lots of folks here have zero sympathy for him is all we need to know about these folks.
Thing is I don't think he actually believed a bunch of that stuff, much of it was just shock jock BS to get attention and thereby make money. Decide for yourself if that is better or worse, I guess.
