My opinion on Kirk...not that it matters.

1) I admittedly know pretty much nothing about him, except for his name. I knew he was some kind of right-wing asshole, so I assume his beliefs were noxious...but I don't know the specifics of his beliefs, nor do I care. I pay zero attention to people like him.

2) Kirk's assassination was done by a professional, in my opinion. A fully trained professional sniper. I do not buy the notion that "the shooter was aiming for center mass and missed", etc. I watched the close up video, and I knew he was dead instantly. My opinion is reinforced by my belief that the shooter also knew he hit his mark perfectly, as there were no follow up shots to make sure. The precision of that shot astounds me.

3) Just one shot, and then the shooter disappeared without a trace. This was a well planned action, performed by a professional who followed the plan perfectly.

4) I do not feel anything about Kirk's death. Nothing. I don't care. However, I feel for his children, who didn't ask to be born to a shithead father.

5) I understand that Kirk's words and actions hurt a lot of people, so in that sense, I'm glad he is not able to do that anymore, but otherwise, I feel nothing.

6) Everything happens for a reason. I have no idea why he was killed, but I have some opinions that I will not express here, because I am not looking to argue about a person I do not care about. But I will say this...this is a spark that will be used as an excuse to ignite something much larger and much more heinous than the death of one person. It's a piece of a puzzle. And that puzzle is dark, mysterious, and frightening.

7) I believe we should not be arguing over Kirk's death. Instead, we should be talking about the likely ramifications of his death...because those ramifications are ultimately going to be what hurts us.

8) EDIT TO ADD: When the details of the shooter are revealed, it will not be the truth.
