To quote Jesus: live by the sword, die by the sword.

That’s all that comes to mind.

These people who have been pushing for getting rid of trans people and throwing immigrants in concentration camps, and generally just calling for (and profiting from) hate need to realize doing so only has one consequence: more hate. Hate boils into violence.

People can pray for him, but he did not live a life according to Jesus’ teaching when he preached hate.

In 2024, Kirk cited Leviticus 20:13 ("If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination; they shall surely be put to death; their blood is upon them") as "God's perfect law when it comes to sexual matters".[105]

Kirk argued against gender affirming care for transgender people, saying, "We must ban trans-affirming care — the entire country. Donald Trump needs to run on this issue", according to Media Matters.

Just in case there was ambiguity for anyone, he suggested we kill homosexuals, and ban life-saving healthcare for trans people.

He was literally debating trans people as mass shooters when shot according to the reports I read.

yep, it was perfect timing. well, technically, he was just starting to run away towards racism (the bullet hit when he was trying to pivot to gang violence to avoid answering how many cishet white boys do shootings a year).
