What legacy? A podcast and some college lectures? I’ve never heard of the guy before all of this, I can’t help but think there may be some other Americans more deserving of honors.

There were people killed the same day far more deserving than Kirk. honoring him insults them all.

What?!? when did SpaceNoodle's poop die? 😢

With how over-the-top all of their admirations and praises are of this cunt, his assassination just reeks of false flag by the administration to start a war. I truly wouldn't be surprised if Trump, Vance, or Thiel ordered this.

If they did I think they'd have planted some kind of evidence to tie the assassin to the left. But maybe that seemed too obvious as a false flag idk.

No time and no point if they can just invent stuff after the fact

The pawns think he was just a devoted Christian and was killed for his faith, so they now have to proclaim their faith harder to stand up for themselves
