No. Though if it were somebody who was sexually assaulted after repeatedly praising and promoting rapists I'd probably similarly acknowledge the irony.

This guy reaped what he showed, and despite the initial attempts but right-wing issues to make it a battle cry to blame and attack the left even more ... it looks like it came from somebody even nuttier than him in camp "go go fascism". Had it been somebody else in his circle of crazy who took the hit, I've little doubt that a Kirk would have been part of the "we need even more guns to fight the left" crew before they even identified the attacker.

While I am not going to recommend bullets to heads (or necks) as a good idea for solving these issues, I'm certainly not going to cry about this particular neck intersecting said bit of ammunition nor fail to note the irony in that given his platform.
