I'm not going to comment on the Kirk situation. I do not think he needed to die and it goes without saying that simply killing people isn't the solution. I also am not a bleeding heart and don't feel bad for him as I have my own criticisms towards him from an actual rightwing perspective (he was not right wing.)
But Kirk himself said people need to get shot
He just never expected himself to get shot too
It is what it is at the end of the day.
