i think it’s perfectly okay and healthy to be happy about that guys death don’t think anyone needs to go to a therapist lol, sure he didn’t physically did anything hateful and inhumane but the sheer amount of media coverage, people talking about him and how many people show up to his “debates” says enough about how influential and powerful he is by passing on his hatred into his viewers who then might do the physical harm
a good amount of people would celebrate the death of someone who wronged them and that’s perfectly fine because it’s very personal to them, it’s kinda the same with kirk sure most never met him but when he says some heinous things about people he doesn’t tolerate and mocks the innocents death it would be very hard to not take it personally if you’re one of the people he targets
Yeah he was a lunatic millionare with self-stated goals ( he said the civil-rights act was a mistake ) to basically enslave the population

On charlie kirk assassination aftermath..
Kirk was influential in US conservative circles, but not widely known internationally.
After his assassination,
Right: Paid tribute, framed him as a martyr, glorified his role.
Left: Some condemned violence but the rest celebrated and expressed joy which unintentionally end up giving him more limelight.
These reactions on his death went viral and turned him into a symbol beyond his real influence.
Media amplified the outrage, celebrations and tributes.
Polarization made both sides use the event to push their narratives.
Thus, both Left and Right unintentionally elevated Kirk’s stature, making him seem more significant than he was on global stage...
I don't see that happening, some rich people and politicians are praising him, but what I see are people discovering the things he said and saying they understand if someone doesn't mourn him, like Jay D Legend's tweet about it:

"I’ve had time to think about this. I’d never heard of Charlie Kirk until the shooting and I saw the reaction of many of you. Laughing and jeering in the same way people did for the Ocean CEO and the United healthcare CEO guy.
So I took the opportunity to see why people hate Charlie Kirk. And after seeing a few clips and quotes, I get it. The guy spoke with a type of vigor that was meant to provoke and challenge the other side. Even shock people with statements about school shootings as a casualty of protecting the 2nd amendment rights.
As a believer in Jesus, I hate that this guy professed the name of Jesus openly but parroted rhetoric that doesn’t align with Jesus’ character. If Jesus is your King then you promote his character. Not use it to further your political stance
With all that said, The way he died is pitiful. He died for the very thing he sought to protect, enforce and bully people over. The Bible says Life and death are in the power of the tongue. Talk about tragic irony. Proverbs 18:21
Lastly to the people laughing, whether you feel justified or not. It’s just very unsettling to see someone get assassinated, bleed out on live television and then see almost everyone trolling and memeing. It’s like a Black Mirror episode"
And yeah I agree, I do not want to see him get shot or die or meme about it
