I honestly don't even understand why he has a memorial. He was just some guy. I said the same thing when Trump ordered flags at half staff for him.

Let's put aside his politics for a moment.

Kirk wasn't elected. He didn't hold any political office. Literally just a random person who was killed.

What he was known for was spewing hate, and then his own blood.

That's why they memorialized him. He was a fascist mouthpiece and they loved him for it. May he rest in piss

If I ever visit one of his memorials, I'll make sure to piss on it in his honour.

They did everything they could to martyr him.

Look up Horst Wessel.

He has almost the same exact credentials as MLK Jr. Only difference was Kirk was a douchebag

He was a wannabe Rush Limbaugh style conservative political pundit clone that got funding from a billionaire at an early age. Nothing more, nothing less. Dude essentially hit the conservative political pundit lottery.

Even that was better than he deserved.
