    Hi guys! Just because he was an awful person doesn’t mean he deserves to die. I am actually horrified by how many people are condoning this, especially when this man has a family and a wife and it’s not even like trump when it would have actually done anything for our country. all this has done has made a gigantic fuss and give fox news rage bait.

      No, he actually, absolutely, objectively did deserve to die. Maybe not by vigilante justice, but he absolutely deserved to be in the ground. The world is a better place without him in it.

      Have you forgotten your history? We hanged people at Nuremberg for doing exactly what Kirk made his whole career doing. We hanged people at Nuremberg for crimes against humanity who did what Kirk did. We hanged Nazi propagandists who spent years inciting hate against the Jewish population. Kirk was absolutely guilty of incitement to genocide. He was responsible for countless deaths. He made his whole career trying to incite violence and hate against innocent people.

      In a just world he would hang for his crimes. But we don’t live in a just world. The closest we get to justice is vigilante justice.

      Vigilante justice is not something I welcome. But the man absolutely deserved to die. He was a mass murderer.

        This man wasn’t Hitler. This man was an annoying loudmouth who at the end of the day has a wife and kids he comes home to. He did not deserve this; this will only divide us more and contribute to the cycle of violence.
