AITA for cutting off half of my family who are posting all about how good of a man Charlie Kirk was? I’m a gay man and I know how hurtful his rhetoric is. When I asked my family if they support that message of anti lgbt they dodged the question.

A persons actions and words don't suddenly go away because they died. Charlie Kirk was a bad person. You are not the asshole. I still hate the motherfucker.

You cut them off because they don’t share the same beliefs as you. YATA Everyone is entitled to have their own thoughts.

as a conservative woman, i dont believe you are an asshole for that. while i agree and disagree with some things charlie kirk said, if you don’t agree with someone you are allowed to express that (in your case not speaking to family) that is our right of freedom of speech and expression. now, what some people are misunderstanding is when people praise his death that is what makes people the asshole, because that goes against freedom of speech and expression of charlie

no absolutely not, i would not laugh at that. j would never wish death upon someone or be glad they are gone. you can disagree with someone without wishing their lack of existence. that is the whole basis of this country

you can relate a terrorist to someone sharing their opinion. if you dont like his opinion you had full ability to not listen to his opinion, whereas people cant just avoid a terrorist attack because they didnt like it. it was physically harming. it is crazy to relate the two

If one person is behind constant deadly plots, then stopping them, even with taking out osama bin laden, can sadly be justified if it prevents many more deaths. It’s kind of like self-defense, but on a larger scale…protecting whole communities when capture isn’t realistic. I don’t like the idea of anyone dying, but sometimes one tragic choice can prevent much greater harm.

As a hardcore liberal, the person accusing you of this is drawing a wild ass assumption. I would never think anyone would do that just because they are conservative.

Yes. Sorry if it came off rude. I was saying that I don't think you'd laugh at her death. The person accusing you of doing that is just making wild assumptions
