In the chaotic world of today’s media, it’s become quite fashionable for the radical left to cheer on the demise of their political adversaries. When conservative commentator Charlie Kirk faced a horrifying attack, many on the progressive side chose to make light of a tragedy. This troubling trend has revealed just how far the left is willing to descend in their public hatred for those who dare to hold different worldviews.

Once upon a time, there was a thing called civility, where even in disagreement, people wouldn’t wish death upon someone. However, the reaction to Kirk’s unfortunate assassination shows us that the left has all but abandoned this principle. As the news broke, some leftists were seen justifying the murder, and in an even more appalling display, celebrating it. Have they truly become so unhinged that the life of a fellow human means so little if that human doesn’t toe their ideological line?

Thankfully, it seems there is still some accountability in this world. Radical ideologies have consequences, and for some gleeful leftists, those consequences came sooner rather than later. An Office Depot employee also saw his employment terminated when he refused to print a poster memorializing Kirk. Apparently, acknowledging someone’s contribution to society, albeit political, was a step too far for this staff member. Labeling a poster titled “The Legendary Charlie Kirk 1993 to 2025” as political propaganda, rather than a respectful nod to a figure of significance, only highlights the bias baked into certain segments of our society.

During a time when one would hope for unity and mutual respect, it’s heartening to see that there are limits to such venomous discourse. While some may lose sight of decency, it’s crucial that accountability remains a part of the conversation. Actions have consequences, and as more leftists face them for their lack of empathy and decorum, perhaps this serves as a clear message: even in disagreement, humanity must not be forgotten.
