No, they should be fine without the piece of shit father further corrupting them. Or they turn into a bigger piece of shit to "honor" him.
They saw their father shot and killed in front of their eyes, and the video will probably forever be online. The only support they'll get is from that dead piece of shit group of fascist friends. They will most definitely not be fine.
Some of us would pay good money for that kind of therapy. Not everyone assumes their piece of shit father is great.
Luckily, they might be too young to really remember it. One just turned three (so she may remember, unfortunately), and the other is under 18 months. I hope they weren’t watching.
I’m generally very squeamish, but I didn’t think the video was that bad. Then it kept playing in my head while I was trying to sleep. I have no love lost for Charlie Kirk, but I hope those kids avoid the video for as long as possible.
Thinking about his kids hurts really bad
I'm his age, I have a 17-month-old son
The only meaningful difference between us is the ideas in our heads and the words in our mouths, and the instant that shot hit him he didn't have those anymore
I strongly believe no kid deserves to lose their dad. No wife deserves to be a widow. And I'm starting to realize I believe no human person deserves death.
And it makes me furious that I can't see a way anyone could have rid the world of the hateful and tangibly deadly ideas and words he had without also depriving it of the dad/husband/human person he should have been
His hatefulness cost lives, and it would have cost more, but it cost his too, and I feel like I'm being torn in half between celebrating the death of his hatred and mourning the violent death of another human
Yeah, you hit the nail on the head. I’m desperate for any other way out of this mire.
Welp I guess they were doomed either way then so no need to worry about it. Will certainly be a personal struggle but it's up to them to see past their dad's vile echo chamber, and him being alive or dead won't matter there.
