Even if it turns out to be true...

How would trans people be to blame for somebody shooting a bigot who was mean to trans people?

Most killers have motives. If this turns out to be his motive why would it be the fault of people who were bullied by the victim?

Nobody deserves to be murdered and I would never say they deserve it, but... if Charlie Kirk was murdered by somebody defending somebody they care about, doesn't Charlie Kirk bear any responsibility for his bullying words and actions?

Seems like the ultimate FAFO. Not that I'm advocating for or defending murder. Murder is bad and I'm opposed to it. But it's a dangerous world out there and Charlie Kirk helped make it more dangerous.
