    Obsessing over the punishment isn’t helpful and doesn’t undo the harm they did. A bullet is quick, cheap, effective, and doesn’t waste resources that could be better used on their victims.

      I agree, but then we should not focus on Kirk at all and focus on his survivors. Those that are harmed by the ideology that he pushed, and the increases in hate crime, suicides, mass shooting, state violence, etc. for which his rhetoric was a contributing factor.

      Let’s focus on them.

        Kirk lived in vast wealth and luxury, and then died quickly, and his story is over. I don’t believe in Hell, so as far as I’m concerned, he escaped justice, scot-free.

        Don’t try to bring me into this, you’re the one focusing on Kirk, I focused on the victims. There is no “we”, it’s all you.
