Condoning or even celebrating political assassinations is bad optics (and taste). Such assassinations typically serve to embolden "counter" assassinations.
Of course agent provocateurs like Microsoft Lunduke like to pretend that everyone in FOSS is "Leftist" and hence, somehow, everyone is FOSS is in favour of murder, including of him.
Don't take the bait. Also, do not become the bait. █
