Extremists and an anonymously run website are posting identifying details about people accused of celebrating Charlie Kirk’s murder online. Some of those targeted are now getting death threats.
Celebrating like this?
Wish a conservative would. I celebrated with glasses of wine. It was a nice day too.
I don’t know who this dude was, but I just heard him talking about “his” stance on ukraine and I want to say that he was a piece of shit.
While I’m doubtful if it’ll help, I reported the site to the registrar and recommend others do the same. abuse@namecheap.com
This is the message I used. (Admittedly, I am not well-versed in legalese and added some links for credibility but I wouldn’t be surprised if they called my bluff.)The site https://www.charliesmurderers.com/ is hosted by your service.

This information has also been forwarded to the Icelandic civil authorities.Predicting the whining from the Confederates if it actually gets yoinked:
“But you using lawfare to cancel culture my cancel culture is so unfair!!!”
🤣
Fwiw I’ve had Namecheap for a while and they’ve been pretty helpful when I needed support. Hopefully they take this seriously
Everything Charlie said in his life made it clear that he would have admonished us for caring about his death, and he would have defended the necessity of it. This is his legacy.
If you spend your life saying hateful and morally reprehensible shit you don’t get to enjoy a posthumous rewrite that is entirely at odds with your life’s work.
It’s unfortunate that someone died and it is a disaster for the division and incipient collapse of US society. This doesn’t mean Charlie was a good person, or that he will be missed, or that we should care about his particular death versus many others.
I disagree. If a prominent right wing figure such as himself had been assassinated by anyone associated even tangentially with liberal ideology I’d bet hugely that he would he been on the bandwagon blaming the left and instigating outrage. The right have time and again proven themselves hypocrites. His words suggesting we don’t let shootings hijack a narrative or gun deaths being acceptable to maintain the 2nd Amendment would conveniently be forgotten or reinterpreted to the right’s benefit.
They’re always looking for an excuse.
Why only allegedly?
I wouldn’t say I celebrate it, but there aren’t many worse people this could have happened to.
Target deez nuts, shitbags.
LMAO, reading the submissions on that website are hilarious. Three quarters of the posts on there are super level-headed, saying they don’t believe he should have died but they can’t mourn or feel sympathy for someone so horrible; IMO, Charlie Kirk absolutely deserved to die. Wanting fascists dead shouldn’t be a hot take, it should be the norm.
Yeah he’s being treated by the left like the right treats victims of police violence.
Most victims of police violence didn’t help build such a socially damaging machine as TP USA
There’s an argument to be made that propaganda to undermine democracy is warfare, so propagandists are fair game.
I’m not quite convinced we’re there yet, but there it is.
Are racist jokes racist at a klan meeting?
I mean, I don’t think you should celebrate his death. He’s not gonna hear it, but he still has kids.
He DID say kids should be made to watch public executions.
I’m happy his kids will not be raised by a hate-monger like Charlie Kirk. I’m sad that it took his death to accomplish that. And I’m sad that it probably won’t make a single iota of a difference in their upbringing.
Yeah, I’m sure “my dad was killed by liberals” will help with them being less filled with hate.
Killed by a GROYPER.
You disgust me. Trying to get in over people killed.
The shooter was (unsurprisingly) a white Christian male, cis gendered. He hated Nazis and wanted to kill one.
Okay?
Helldiver’s 2 memes, dads a 3 percenter, meme costumes - killed by an alt-right groyper is what appears to be accurate.
Fuentes had big issues with Kirk in the past, going back the better part of a decade. They used to interrupt Turning Point events.
Dad got killed by maga who felt some maga weren’t maga enough.
I read that last sentence as “Dad got killed by Marklar who felt some Marklar weren’t Marklar enough”.
You think mom will ever tell the kids that?
Its a good question, and I just don’t know enough about her to say. They will find out sooner rather than later though I’m sure.
She had a speech yesterday
I haven’t seen it, if its written somewhere I’d like the link to read it.
That said, I don’t think prepared speeches represent the person, especially in a situation like this - Its generally prepared for a reason.
Edit: Just read it.
Well… Yeah I guess it fits since she married Kirk in the first place. I’m going to guess those kids will be getting the alt-right answers to every question they may have.
Oof.
Yeah, it looks like it might have been a fasc-on-fasc faction fight. If that’s what it is, it’ll be interesting to see the contortions right-wing media will go to to still blame it on the usual scapegoats.
Dude said he’d force his ten year old daughter to carry a pregnancy to term if she were raped. His kids are better off without him if they aspire to be anything other than a trad-wife baby incubator.
Christopher Hitchens was IMO one of the greatest orators of the 20th century.
“Our responsibility is to hate our enemies, and to destroy them before they destroy us”
He was referencing militant religions (or as he put it elsewhere, “people who actually believe the words in their Bronze Age religious texts”)
He also supported the Iraq war. I’ve never understood why people try to canonize that neocon.
