Charlie Kirk should not have been killed because killing humans is, as a rule, wrong and evil. There are arguable exceptions for that — self-defense against an immediately dangerous threat being the most accepted — but even then, killing should be taken seriously and not celebrated.
But that doesn’t mean he deserves (more than any other murder victim) a moment of prayer on the US House floor, or to have the US VP escort his body home on Air Force 2, or to be given Presidential Medals. Charlie Kirk was sorry, maliciouis, bellicose excuse for a human, and his message of grievance, contempt, and hatred will not be missed (if only because others will continue to shriek it).
Kirk hated — and would gleefully have seen unequalized, ghettoized, jailed, committed, or killed — racial and ethnic minorities, Jews and other non-Christians, LGBTQ folk, and more. His speech was hate speech, plain and simple, full of wishes for violence and oppression of those he loathed. Ironically, the use of violence to silence his opponents would be right on brand for him (another indicator of why it’s wrong).
Charlie Kirk should not have been killed, but he should, in any rational, civilized, and sane society have been ostracized. He deserves to sink into the silent cess pit of forgotten demagogues.
In case folk need a reminder of how loathsome the opinions and propaganda that Charlie Kirk spewed was:

Mourn the loss of a human life? Sure. Express dismay over political violence? Yup.
Pretend that Charlie Kirk was some sort of Ciceronian saint, interested only in open discourse and a better America for all? That can only be answered with incredulous guffaws.
