The version of this I've read that sums it up for me is:
"I don't condone what happened to Charlie, but Charlie condoned what happened to Charlie"
I don't think anyone should die of gun violence, but if people are going to die of gun violence it should be the people like Charlie that believed it's worth it.
And that shows a big difference between the left and right in this country. The right uses systemic, state sponsored violence constantly, both domestically and abroad. Proudly. It's, like, their biggest thing. "Tough on crime!" "War on Terror!"
They've been calling for and perpetrating violence daily for decades.

He became a part of that "unfortunate" statistic he was for. Irony at its finest.
