This has done nothing to relax the evangelical american victim complex.

My portfolio is green across the board today. Clearly the market loves the news.

They don't count because he didn't like what they had to say, you silly sausage.

But they do want their followers to believe it...and pay them for it. Im not sure which part of that is worse.

I dunno about that. I'd advocate for his death. I might have to question my belief in a higher power if everyone like Kirk suddenly and due to a variety of natural causes suddenly died. That would be a win in my books. But saying you advocate for them to be assassinated is a different thing entirely, is the point.

The only people whining about the reactions to Kirk's death either have no clue what a piece of #### person he was or are full on MAGA loons. Makes sense. Besides, I don't see any celebrating or rejoicing, only the acknowledgment that the world is a better place without this sack of #### spreading hate and racism.

I can't find it in myself to feel any remorse, this guy make his career perpetuating hate and intolerance, he was a disgusting person.

I don't know

The world isn't a worse place today than it was yesterday.

[The Yen Man]

I think people are confusing celebrating his death and not giving a crap about it, which I'm definitely in the second camp. Just because I don't mourn his death and find the poetic justice of it all amusing doesn't mean I'm actively celebrating it.

[DFO]

It’s pretty telling to see our premier Smith rush to make that T&P’s post regarding Kirk. Did she make similar posts for Canadians murdered recently? Like that Lady in Edmonton last month or that kid in Toronto that caught a stray.

[GioforPM]

Analogy: I'm anti-death penalty. It doesn't mean I like murderers or think it's a huge loss when they are executed. I also didn't care much when Dahmer was killed in prison.

To be fair about being fair, at least one person (Gordon Bombay) absolutely very much did say those things.

I guess precident is set.

If you don’t agree with someone’s opinion you shoot them now.

Is this an example of being “progressive”?

Fair, I could have been more specific. I would have been ok with him having a heart attack and dropping dead, the assassination is the issue, not the death.

lol

Also, Trump ordering flags at half mast for Kirk is ####ing disgusting. That should be saved for actual military honour and remembrance, for people who have valiantly fought and died for the country... not insufferable, hate-mongering bigots who haven't served a day in their life.

[KelVarnsen]

Honestly? I am ####ing happy he is dead. The man was a Nazi and the only good kind of Nazi is a dead Nazi. I am not happy he was killed in a act of violence, I would have much preferred he die of something like a heart attack while being lucky Pierre in a 3 dude threesome.

Again not saying violence is right but Kirk himself would be more then ok with it.

May the man rest in piss.
