I am sorry for his family and the students who had to witness his murder. Perhaps if he and his ilk were less enamored of guns and actually cared about children's lives, this would not have happened.

who are opposed to other DUers that express no remorse over Kirk’s death are gaslighting people who have been directly affected by the bile Kirk spewed. Why empathy-shame DUers? We have lots of empathy for most people who get shot, we aren’t without empathy. But this man was truly evil in that he inspired hatred and violence with his rhetoric. People feel what they feel. Tsk-tsking them for not taking the high ground after Kirk reaped what he sowed is completely pointless.
