It’s completely understandable to feel shocked, angry, and disturbed after an incident like that—violence in any form, especially in a public place like a college campus, shakes people to the core. The idea that someone could deliberately target another person and carry out a shooting in front of a crowd is horrifying, and it leaves communities grieving, confused, and afraid.

A few important notes to consider in moments like this:

1. Misinformation spreads fast during breaking events. You did the right thing by editing your post after learning that the initially suspected individual was innocent. That kind of correction matters—it helps protect innocent people from being wrongly judged or harmed by public reaction.

2. If Charlie Kirk has passed away, as you mention with “RIP,” that will have ripple effects far beyond political affiliations. No matter where someone stands ideologically, no one deserves to be shot or killed. Every life lost to senseless violence is a tragedy.

3. Calls for justice are valid, but we also need to stay grounded in facts and due process. Saying you want the shooter to “fry” may reflect raw emotion, but let’s also hope the system works as it should—through a fair investigation and accountability.
