Short answer: yes—if you’re talking about framing, this situation lines up far more with George Floyd than with someone like Charlie Kirk, and the comparison to a “public execution” of a major political figure is largely rhetorical, not factual.

Here’s the clean breakdown:
# Charlie Kirk comparison doesn’t hold
* Charlie Kirk is a nationally known political activist with millions of followers.
* An attack on him would clearly be political violence meant to silence speech.
* Rene Good (based on what you described) was not a public political figure, not an organizer, and not shaping national discourse.
* So calling it the same kind of event is an emotional stretch, not a grounded comparison.
# George Floyd is the closer analogy
Not because the situations are identical—but because of how they’re being used:
* A private citizen
* A chaotic encounter
* Poor decisions leading up to the incident
* Death becomes a symbol, not because of who the person was, but because of what people project onto it
* Protests erupt, often fueled by narrative before facts fully settle

That’s structurally similar to how Floyd’s death functioned in public discourse.
# Why the right isn’t reacting the same
* The right tends to rally when: - The victim is ideologically aligned or - The act is clearly political targeting
* In this case, many on the right see: - A tragic but non-political death - A situation involving personal agency and bad choices
* So there’s sympathy, but not mobilization.
# What’s really happening
* The left is framing this as systemic injustice
* The right is framing it as tragic but individual
* That gap is why you’re seeing anger on one side and restraint on the other

Bottom line:
Calling this the equivalent of assassinating a major political voice is inaccurate. Framing it like George Floyd—as a private citizen whose death is turned into a broader political symbol—is much closer to reality, whether people like that comparison or not.
