The Cowardice of Charlie Kirk

Prove me wrong

Because of the very high interest in this article from people who aren’t Medium subscribers, I have also posted it free to read here on my Substack.

Before we begin, let’s be clear about one thing. Charlie Kirk did not deserve to be gunned down. There are, if any, very, very few people in the world who deserve to be gunned down. Probably no one should die from gun violence. Let’s go with that: “no one should die from gun violence,” even if Kirk didn’t agree.

And you may ask, “How could you say that Charlie Kirk is a coward? Didn’t he frequently speak in public?” Good question.

Charlie Kirk wasn’t a coward for speaking in public; Charlie Kirk was a coward because of why he was speaking in public.

The murderer of Charlie Kirk was a coward. Violence is usually a product of cowardice. That includes physical and verbal violence.

The Big Lies about Kirk

Kirk wasn’t one of the biggest players on the political scene, and his star was waning, but he remained well-known. There were questions about his financial dealings, but Kirk was mostly grudgingly accepted by the right wing for being an agent provocateur for right-wing causes at his traveling fun show.
