I am curious as to why Kirk's parents

[gopiscrap]

and sibling didn't attend his funeral...sounds like a dysfunctional family to me

[msongs]

1. funeral or the AZ rally?

[oldmanlynn]

2. I don't think that was a real funeral that was just a Maga rally

I think that Ben, my Silas said it right it was basically a hate convention

[Tree Lady]

3. I read they are moderate

Makes me wonder if they don't like Trump and didn't like what their son was doing. To not go to a funeral is a big step, but if Trump turned my kids funeral into a rally I wouldn't go either.

5. That wasn't a "funeral", it was a far-right political rally...

6. I called it a modern day Nuremberg Rally

[RazorbackExpat]

12. Specifically, a "Totenehrung"

That is, a ceremony during the Nazi Party's 1934 Nuremberg Rally that honored the dead

4. Kirk had parents ???

(yeah, after all the news coverage, it did not appear that they were still alive.
since nothing I read ever mentioned them)....


Seems they didn't care to attend a clown-show

7. Was a DNA test done?

It might make it quicker to make him a saint if it could be proven that he had only his mother's dna, so that it was a virgin birth.

8. It seems Kirk's father

Worked at the architectural firm who designed Trump tower - Swanke Hayden Connell.

Probably irrelevant, but I found this:

Century-old architecture firm Swanke Hayden Connell files for bankruptcy
14 Jan 2015

News: Swanke Hayden Connell Architects – the firm behind the Fifth Avenue Trump Tower and the Statue of Liberty restoration – has filed for bankruptcy, claiming that it is owed $2 million dollars by a Russian client.

New York City-based Swanke Hayden Connell, which operated under different guises since 1906, has filed for Chapter 11 protection after failing to receive $2,296,505 (£1,511,987) in fees from a Russian client who refuses to pay.

...snip

Hayden's statement does not disclose the identity of the Russian client, who claims to have suffered damages as a result of alleged delays and omissions from the architects.

"There are also unresolved political and economic issues which may play a role in the outcome," it reads.

13. I read that his sister was a Bernie Sanders

supporter. She probably didn’t have a good relationship with him due to differing political beliefs.
