"Kirk's death doesn't change the facts of his life. He was a professional troll. I'm sorry he was murdered; that doesn't necessitate imbuing him with some dignity or nobility of character that he simply did not possess or pretending he was some kind of national treasure when he was just some dumb dickhead. His killing matters, but not more than anyone else's." - @brokencandy1797

No, Kirk l(like Manson)was someone who used words to manipulate and brainwash people and people died as a result. In reality probably more than Manson killed indirectly.
Yet here we are with the 🍊 🧩 of 💩 in the Whitehouse lowering the flag for him.
