Several of the people on Facebook are ranting about how Kirk was a kind sincere person.

On my page, several people are posting about their feelings and lambasting the left for starting this so-called war against the right.

I wonder how they would feel if was one of the family members who either was shot and killed or if it was someone who they knew who the shooter was?

Several comments were disturbing and childish. We are extremely close to what they want. I never thought I would read these comments from people I know. I have a big decision to make. I may close my FB account or start deleting them from my page.

This is enough! I’m tired of reading their crazy stuff.

The worst of it all? Some are family members.

The world we live in, is not the world we did before the likes of Rush, Tucker, or any of the racist people.

Delusional people fight really hard against reality. Not worth trying to communicate with 'em; they just shift their narrative and keep on living in their wide eyed delirium. Logic has no place in their fantasy land of excuses and what about itis.

You are spot on, it wasn't like this, well, not a much wide spread insanity before Rush & hate radio.

Internet just made it faster and invited in more con artists who just don't want to make their daily nut actually doing productive work.

But the last couple of days, there are memes with Jesus hugging Kirk into heaven and I want to sooo badly put my deuxcents caption saying…maybe Jesus is explaining to him what his Sermon on the Mount meant since he missed it. Haven’t done it yet but these shrines and even my local news station spends too much time on the issue..even had a candlelight vigil in one of our parks last night.

was such a vile person. Does claiming you are a Christian excuse this hatred?
