All these Kirk actions are starting to come out of the woodwork. Shooting him wasn't appropriate, but exposure is.

He was a completely disgusting asshole making a living off making society worse. That doesn't mean he deserved the death penalty meted out by some teenage MAGA twat in Utah. Sure, a normal person might wish someone like Kirk never existed to further fuck up our already fucked violent society- but you want people like him condemned by public opinion, not shot in the street (where innocent people might be collaterally killed.) I certainly am not a bit sorry he's dead, but it's pretty sickening how many fake tears are being photographed for this complete jerk- when decent, lovely, productive, KIND human beings are being shot every day and no one gives a shit. But there you are - America is a fucking sewer of idiots who espouse violence, especially in theory, but who wet themselves if violence touches them (but it's hunky dory if it touches the brown and black folks, especially if it's state sponsored violence.)
