What is hard for you to understand here? No one has said they're okay with Kirk being murdered. No one is saying "well, given that this guy is such a bad person, the killer should go free, and it shouldn't be treated as a murder". All people are saying is that they are glad that a bad person who made the world a worse place is not here anymore. Two things can be true at once: you can be happy a bad person is dead but not support that person's murder - i.e. it is perfectly logical to say, "well I wish it had been a brain aneurysm because political violence is always bad but I'm not going to shed a tear for that #######".
