    Look, I fully agree Kirk was trash. You’re preaching to the choir here.

    But I shy away from saying “any extrajudicial killing is fine when it’s against someone I think is trash.”

    If he’d died a natural death the world would be a better place for it, but that doesn’t make it okay that he was murdered.

    It’s a dangerous game when we just start saying it’s okay to murder bad people without due process.

      Due process would be nice, but it doesn’t seem to be a thing in the US anymore for anyone leaning right.

      I don’t think many people are saying it’s ok he was murdered. Just that we aren’t that upset about it.

        I mean, perhaps you’re right, but I bet if we took a poll here we’d get a majority of people sounding off that it was a good thing he was murdered.

        But maybe you’re right and everyone agrees it was bad he was murdered. I wouldn’t bet on it though.
