      He was pro gun violence and anti empathy. It goes against everything he believed and stood for to send love. These jackasses pretending to care are just masturbating their own ego to make themselves come off as some paragon in divided times. Kirk died for what he believed in while doing what he loved. We should all be glad he did. Even those foolish enough to listen to him and support him should be able to see that.

      Nuance: Martin’s request concerned Kirk’s family, not Charlie himself. Let’s not stray from the facts. The other side does that enough.

      For all we know, they might be lovely people (unlikely, but hey.)

      Still, weird request, and I would have joined the booing in the moment, I think.

        Well, his wife said that the movement didn’t stop with his death and that “if you thought that my husband’s mission was powerful before you have no idea, you have no idea what you just have unleashed across this entire country and this world” so probably safe to say she’s a horrible, minority-bashing white nationalist as well.

        Still, no one mentions the families of the kids murdered, why is he special? Why is his family special? Him and his hateful wife who are probably brain washing those children.

        Honestly, hearing his views, they both seem much better off without him. ESPECIALLY if either of them are queer.

      he spread and fomented hate, on impressionable college age students, to recruit them into the right wing manospheres. which is why conservative groups are trying to elevating him as some kind of saint.

      Spite?

      The fact that someones feelings don’t care about his facts also is kinda funny.
