i wonder if he survived, would he have changed his position on guns?
if the shooting left him in pain for life, would he still be pushing 2A as hard...

I kinda wish it would have left him like Christopher Reeves, but then again he'd still be able to talk and that would be bad.

I believe the actual Oscar Wilde quote is:
“Some cause happiness wherever they go; others whenever they go.”
For people who haven't read Oscar Wilde, if you like witty dialogue in your stories, Wilde is top tier, and I think that's underselling him.
I may not celebrate deaths, but I do watch some obituaries with glee.
This is definitely one of them. Real "reap what you sow" vibes.
The world has had a bit of a better vibe today....I wonder why....🤔
Honestly, fuck no. Great, Kirk is dead now. He will be replaced by 10 new sycophants and will become a martyr in no time.
What has this accomplished?
If you think things are going to be better after today, you're delusional.
It'll get much worse before things get better, as is tradition.
I remember posting a similar comment during the Bush administration. 😭
Every bit helps, and everyone knows these racist, mentally unwell and hellbound assholes are cowards, so it might be enough to dissuade potential Kirks. Having said that, seeing all these English flags over here (very loud dog whistles for racism) makes me feel like nothing will change in the West (or at least in the Anglo-Saxon/Germanic West) in the short term. 😭
