REMINDER: While people try to paint a picture of Charlie Kirk being some "civil rights leader" and a really great guy, he was not.
He argued AGAINST free school lunch for kids. He didn't deserve to be killed, but he was an asshole.
Let me get this straight.
Charlie Kirk was allowed to say whatever racist, misogynistic, anti-LGBTQ BS he wanted, because of free speech, but we aren’t allowed to say anything negative about Kirk for fear of retribution from Republicans, because we aren’t allowed free speech.
For some of you, this story isn’t about crime. It’s not about public safety. Elon and others are using a black man killing a white woman as nectar for their stereotypes and urge to put black folk “in their place.”
The death of Iryna Zarutska is a tragedy that should’ve been avoided and was the result of many systemic failures. Yes she should be alive today.
Watching ppl of influence try to score political points by using her death to underscore some false belief that we are barbarians who are predisposed to violence is racism pure and simple. But yall aren’t ready to have that talk.
