I was reminded of the 'eulogy' given by a famous Black minister ...

(feel free to add his name, if you know it)

He was asked to give the eulogy for a young man who he knew to be a worthless POS, dead by petty gang violence of the sort he himself was known for. He kept it short. "He spent his whole life walking around with a chip on his shoulder, daring someone to knock it off. Last Saturday, someone did. The undertaker may claim the body." End of eulogy.

THAT should have been the Charlie Kirk memorial service. After all, he called it the "prove me wrong" tour.
