Horrible people die everyday and their lives don’t need to be celebrated. You don’t need to feel bad or vilified for insulting a dead person. Being dead does not give anyone a pass on the horrible things they did while alive.
You don’t need to respect the dead, if they didn’t respect you while alive. If they actively worked to make the world a horrible place, if they dedicated their lives to destroying yours.
You also don’t need to be quiet. You can say they were evil, you can vocalize your opinion, and you don’t need to feel bad about it.
It feels like we are being artificially censored by large media corporations and the companies that we work for. Forced to walk a middle ground that does a disservice and harm to our country and way of life. Silence is contributing to the evil, allowing praise of a monster stokes extremism and normalizes views. Don’t be afraid, speak out, we are all here with you

Just because you dislike someone doesn't mean you should deny their humanity and celebrate their political assassination in front of a bunch of children
No denying of humanity. But we shouldn't paint him as a saint. Be honest, be factual, and discuss him as he was.
Sucks for him, that using his own words makes him out as a vile piece of shit.
Best just ignore his death, like the 29471 others not being reported on.
