AFAIAC, charlie kirk is already buried.

he is as dead as charlie manson, and was only a little bit nicer in his life. The only difference is that he didn't directly kill people, or order them killed, although what he advocated for definitely resulted in thousands of deaths. Is his death a tragedy for his family? Only in the sense that he was the breadwinner, and they cared about him. To me, his wife and daughters are better off not being subject to a man who viewed them, and all women, as property, and third-class citizens.

May he now rot in the ground.

As far as we know Manson didn't directly kill anyone (it's possible he did, though). He directed others to kill.

As a gay woman, it's hard for me to interpret many of Kirk's words as other than a direction to kill me.

His followers will never admit it but Kirk was somewhat like Manson.
