I agree. They don't want to be reminded that he was just a hate-monger. Doesn't look good when you want him canonized. Wonder Why Sep 2025 #2

if anyone complains or even fights back. It ha always been this way.

What that seditious moron Waters will never bring himself to admit was that Krk wasn't killed by "they," he was done by one of their own, a kid raised in a Mormon family so staunchly Republican that they boasted they ddn't know any Democrats and raised their son within the gun culture.

Of course, since bullies are the perennial victims, this kid's online posts will be parsed to death to try to make him look like the leader of a Communist cell in rural Utah, while Kirk's absolutely reprehensible speech will be kept hidden as much as possible. It's the only way they can get their proxy martyrdom. It's the only way they can continue to be the victims.
