FAR-RIGHT INFLUENCERS AND violent extremists are posting identifying
details about people they view as celebrating or glorifying the murder
of right-wing activist Charlie Kirk. The campaign has been swift and
widespread and has already led to at least one person losing their job
and others receiving death threats.

The people posting the identifying information include Chaya Raichik,
who runs the hugely influential, hate-filled LibsofTikTok account on X, Trump-whisperer Laura Loomer, and former Proud Boy leader Enrique Tarrio.

A central hub of this activity is a website called Charlie’s Murderers,
which was registered in the early evening on the day Kirk was shot and
is revealing certain personal information, such as social media
usernames and email addresses, of individuals the operators believe were celebrating the horrific murder.

One of the first names listed on the sites was Rachel Gilmore, an
independent journalist at Bubble Pop Media who wrote on X that she was “terrified to think of how far-right fans of Kirk, aching for more
violence, could very well turn this into an even more radicalizing
moment. Will they now believe their fears have been proven right and
feel they have a right to ‘retaliate,’ regardless of who actually was behind the initial shooting?”

As WIRED reported, this is exactly how much of the far right—along with Republican lawmakers including President Donald Trump—did respond to the news, even though no suspect had been arrested and no motive had been
revealed.

For Gilmore, the impact of her inclusion on the website was instant and terrifying.

“Someone could get killed or, if the harassment they’re receiving is anything like what I’ve gotten, even engage in self-harm,” Gilmore said. “It’s sick, it’s wrong, and it’s terrifying.”

I guess free speech isn't that hot anymore. Poor America.
