Best summation on the irony of Charlie Kirk's death that I've seen

3. I think the resounding quiet yesterday from elected Republicans was from their shocking realization that the violence

they have been celebrating or excusing had finally come back to bite one of their own. Thaddeus Howze sums it up brilliantly:


"But understanding the irony is not the same as endorsing the act. Recognizing the karmic symmetry does not mean cheering it. What it means is this: when cruelty is normalized, when violence is rationalized, when deaths are rendered acceptable by ideology, eventually the logic boomerangs.
That is the lesson here, the harsh and unsentimental truth. You cannot unleash a culture of violence, bless it as liberty, and then feign shock when it arrives at your own doorstep."
