    He should have cried for the school kids who died the same day as Kirk and for the innocent people dying in gaza, he should have made a big deal out of gun violence and gun access while talking about every shooting except Kirk as a tongue in cheek way of trolling them for their gun loving, racist martyr died by a gun at the hands of a white guy

      No, include Kirk. Make it more awkward for them to claim it’s leftist issue. Make sure they can’t play the victim and being pissy and petty about it looks unambiguously a dick move.

      Bernie had it right, recognize all the victims.

      Be decent human beings.

      It is… Interesting that a man that claimed guns were worth some innocent deaths getting killed by a gun, but ultimately his vitriolic rhetoric is best countered with being better. His death brought dangerous power and danger to his words that requires careful handling, would have been better if he had lived as a ripe target for mockery, maybe having experienced a humbling experience without him getting martyred.

      Of those one could argue lethal violence ends up being the only realistic option for, I would not have included Kirk. He said vile words but was granted no actual authority of his own.
