    Besides stating the obvious, in that this government is corrupt, and that the killer was a right-wing nut, there is one thing a ton of these people don’t understand.

    Most people aren’t celebrating the killing of Kirk. Most people are celebrating that his incredibly provocative narrative, that violently rallied the fascists together, won’t be spread at the source anymore

      Do I want people to die? Nope. Live forever, or of old age or whatever. Do I want people to stop belittling others and spreading hatred and lies and for them to cease it forever? Yes. Do I wish that Kirk saw the light or the end of a gravy train and apologized publicly and disavowed all his bs? I wanted this more than anything. I would also love to see the other propagandists and conspiracists maybe think hard about consequences of their actions and cease their lies, but I live in the real world, unlike them.

      Not supporting the killing of Kirk, supporting the death of Kirk. It’s a small but important difference.

      I’ve never wished a man dead, but I have read some obituaries with great pleasure

      Most people are simply mentioning how much of a piece of shit he was, and happy that he won’t be spewing his nonsense anymore
