Kirk spewed nothing but hate

Fuck the media and others trying to whitewash his hateful rhetoric. He was hateful to the very last few seconds of his life. I feel for his kids, but seriously. Kirk was nothing but a hate filled, transphobic, bigoted, racist asshole who made people like me lives worse due to his BS.

I don't condone violence, but seriously I'm not gonna shed one fucking tear for him. He needs to be remembered as a hateful person who spewed hate. Not a martyr for speaking "truth"

That's what they do in countries like North Korea, Venezuela, Iran and Cuba.

Your emotions are your own and they do not belong to the government.

His final two sentences were bashing trans people, and people of color ('gang violence' is a fairly loud dog-whistle in my book).

And I'm sorry this hatemonger made your life worse!

But he lived and died by being a POS. Guess those gun deaths are acceptable losses for our 2nd amendment right.

8. Yeah, it's pretty easy to be blase about the inevitable effects of a "heavily armed society"

and downplay the suffering it causes when you yourself are rich, and feel like you're well-protected from such things. IOW, it's easy to be nonchalant about the cost to OTHER peoples lives when it comes to getting your way.

If his personal security detail had told him that there were even semi-credible reports of someone being out to harm him at that event, he sure as shit would've cancelled, given he had the luxury of doing so. Unlike our kids who basically go to school under that threat every day.

His family gets my sympathy. He, otoh, tempted fate, and fate had the last word. That's just how things go sometimes.

I'm not gonna be nice to a man that actively attacked my community. The MSM is nothing but a fascist mouthpiece now.

"I think it's worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights"

“I can’t stand the word empathy actually. I think empathy is a made-up, New Age term that — it does a lot of damage, but it is very effective when it comes to politics.”

12. Not sure the first time I heard or read his stuff, but it was garbage with enough stink I never went back for seconds?

CK to me looked like a cross between Beavis and Butthead, even more so than Eric.
