Lists of social media users who celebrated the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk are drawing scrutiny from employers and prompting disciplinary actions as officials and institutions condemn posts that glorify political violence.
The posts, compiled and widely shared on the social platform X, identify dozens of people — many of them educators and health-care workers — who allegedly posted messages expressing joy or support following Kirk's killing Sept. 10 while he addressed students at Utah Valley University. The suspected shooter, 31-year-old Tyler Robinson, has been charged with aggravated murder and other offenses; prosecutors are seeking the death penalty.
