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"

(1,423 posts)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 cant 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.
