When one uses an absolute as an argument, such as "you should never celebrate another person's death", it is useful to take it to the extreme and see if it still holds up. Think of the worst person you can, the most evil human being in history. That might be a different person depending on your views. Would it be wrong to celebrate their death? I don't think so, and you most likely don't think so either. In that case, the absolute is false, and there is a line one can cross that would make their death celebratable. You can argue where that line is, whether or not Charlie Kirk's death is celebratable, but you can't use "you shouldn't celebrate another person's death" as a reply to someone doing so.
