27. Sorry not sorry

I am absolutely not sorry for the murder of Charlie Kirk. He represented the exact kind of man I pray to the heavens my grandson won't be. In fact, I think the heaven-sent kiddo wouldn't even think of emulating such a drab, misogynistic religious and political hypocrite. He's been raised to be an empathetic human being, a kid who cried at a "lonely leaf" that got stuck one rainy day on his bedroom window -- he was 3 years old the time.

Empathy for a leaf versus a man who has no empathy for anyone, any thing., I do feel sorry for the family he left behind. I know they must feel sad and wary at this moment and hope they have the support they might need to deal with their grief. It was his life that was assassinated, not theirs, and may they make the best of it.

Don't misunderstand. His murder is a crime of the worse kind. It's just the murders-by-proxy that Kirk and his ilk have enabled in America make his assassination pale almost to invisibility by comparison.

Still, if the assassin were caught and judged guilty by a jury of his peers -- and I were the judge in the case -- I would sentence him to the harshest penalty available under the law. Because, even though I despised Charlie Kirk, I love the law and understand its binding effect on a nation, even one like ours that is coming apart at the seems.

I will not a shed a tear, but if the killer is apprehended, I won't join any protesters seeking his release or exoneration.
