Most people share your belief that all murder is bad and the political identity of the person who was murdered doesn’t change that. The fact those calling out the ghoulish behaviour here are being denounced as right-wingers shows how out of touch with real-world social norms the loons are.

It’s true that most people believe that all murder is bad, including this one. I would wager 99-100% of the people in this thread included. But there is something unique among those who chime in repeatedly attempting to strip away the nuance and position themselves simply as those calling out “ghoulish behaviour.”
One of those posters turned around and wished other posters or their family members were murdered. Another one admitted to visiting pedophile communities and tried to attach them to the LGBTQ community. And you’ve used anti-LGBTQ hate speech and made light of this sort of “ghoulish behaviour” when it’s targeted toward someone you don’t like.
So perhaps it’s not the simple act of “standing up” that brings a label, but maybe people are actually quite a bit smarter than your ego would allow you to accept and are actually able to evaluate people beyond a single post.
Hard to say though, maybe you’re the moral hero you’re desperate to convince yourself you are.
