73. I think the difference between this and Babbit

She wasn’t targeted. She was basically breaking an entry. It doesn’t elicit much sympathy. Besides she was just another insurrectionist that day out of hundreds.

Kirk’s assassination was exactly that, a targeted killing of a person that had a massive following.

What’s sickening is this media sainthood of him and a neglect of what a loathsome person he was. It doesn’t justify killing him, but it doesn’t help give any context as to how or why it could happen.
