His assassination deserves full condemnation; his full impact should not be sidestepped.

Can we stop trying to beatify this psychopath? It’s possible to be against violence and still condemn Kirk and his violent legacy.

    It’s impossible to be against violence and say anything good about that two bit hateful grifter.

      That is perfectly the point. I am against violence and Kirk was a piece of shit who we should feel free to condemn for the harm he was causing right up to his last moments.

      Klein’s fawning whitewashing of Kirk’s dishonest tactics is, if we are being exceptionally charitable, naïve.
