That "Oh, he just passed away" framing is very dishonest.

It was an assassination.

(3,023 posts)and every time there is a death of a well known person, a celebrity and even when there is a disaster people will see and complain about many comments they find offensive. It isn't a new phenomenon.
The con artist is just focusing on the Kirk comments because it helps him push his Authoritarian Dictatorship plans.

Beyond that it would have been impossible for me to care less about him.

(10,423 posts)I'm not saying it didn't happen, I know that some people did celebrate. But everything I've seen characterized as celebrating has been expressions of not being sorry that he's dead and/or posting and remarking on Kirk's own statements and videos. None of that is celebrating.
Now when Trump dies, there absolutely will be tens of millions celebrating including myself.

Here celebrants might be under threat of detainment and disappearance by federal forces by that point were they caught being insufficiently mournful.
