No Tears For Charlie Kirk

There were 2 school shootings on Wednesday. Charlie Kirk was killed in one of them.

I am unwilling to mourn for that jerk, but that doesn't mean I celebrate his death.

I do feel kinda bad for his wife and kids, but they're no different now than the hundreds of thousands of moms and dads, and brothers and sisters, and extended families, and friends who are left behind every fuckin' year, feeling an emptiness that can't be filled because some asshole with a gun decided he had to play king-of-the-hill for a few minutes.

In a very real sense, Charlie Kirk celebrated the deaths of kids and other innocents for no better reason than to pimp himself to the big-money politicians, and to pump the chumps who finance his brand one 20-dollar t-shirt at a time.

Fuck that guy.
