Charlie Kirk said a real "patriot" should bail Paul Pelosi's attacker out of jail.

Charlie Kirk was a human being and perhaps a good husband and father. I feel sorry for his family and his kids who probably won't remember much about him. I am not happy about this and I venture a guess that most of us are not happy. But the irony of a person who has fanned the flames of hate for quite some time losing his life on that altar of violence he made is not lost on most of us.

I wish this had never happened, but he was apparently being a smart ass about mass shootings to someone who asked him about such things at the time he was shot, so in the spirit of what he continually preached... maybe this was God's will.

Besides, he said it himself, empathy "does a lot of damage."
