Charlie Kirk was a mouthpiece for more powerful and wealthy people, and not particularly novel in his ideas or rhetoric. He can and will be replaced, so what does this even accomplish except to instigate what will no doubt be a disproportionate response?
Well, he’s dead, so that’s a plus. He died in an embarrassing way, so that’s also a plus. Maybe the next would-be shithead will decide “nah, I’m not going to be a right wing grifter. I might get shot dead like Charlie Kirk”. That’s probably the biggest plus.
