We already knew his views were wild and insane but killing him for it was a bad idea and cruel to his family and friends (I'm guessing he had some). Metaphorically jumping up and down on his grave is just bad taste. The best thing we can do is consign him to an obscure footnote in history and desist from publishing his views for him.
edit to the replies - Holy hell this place has turned into reddit on a bad.
Nope, this is a message to the MAGA Nazis. Turn it up LOUD.
In another context maybe, but linking it with his death doesn't help the cause.
You're the kind of person that will walk right into the gas chambers without a peep, and make it easy for the Nazis. They're just doing their job, after all.
A lot of us aren't taking it so easy. We're going down swinging.
I'm not going down at all. Saying that makes it sound like right wingers have already won.
That's the spirit!
Nah, violence is the only language they understand. These fascist have killed tons of innocent people, and Kirk was one of the propagandists that helped enable it. This was self-defense, and the only way to stop them from attacking us is to show that we will defend ourselves.
