A push to make the death penalty automatic for parents who murder their own children, framed as the only deterrent strong enough to stop copycat cases.

• The argument: any parent who kills their kids should face execution, no exceptions, even if the crime is streamed.
• The claimed payoff is deterrence — that harsh, certain punishment would end copycat murder-suicides almost immediately.
• The Lindsay Clancy case is held up as the example of a killer being shielded rather than punished.
• The killing of Charlie Kirk is used as the contrast: a political figure dead for his opinions while a child-killer draws sympathy.
• The wider complaint is a justice system that punishes speech and excuses violence.

Outlook: Expect this double-standard framing to keep driving the post-Kirk political fight over who gets mercy and who gets punished.
