As written by someone more eloquent than me: “He was killed on camera. No one's family deserves to have to witness that. It's unthinkably cruel that people would then go on the internet and use their platform to say about an innocent man that "I don't care that he's dead." "He's not a hero." "He's a scumbag." "He shouldn't be celebrated."
I'm talking about George Floyd. You thought I was talking about Charlie Kirk? No, those are actual quotes BY Charlie Kirk about George Floyd. Outrageous that anyone would say that of the dead, right?”
Fr. Andy McAlpin praised Kirk for "putting his faith at the center of his work," saying "his movement will reach to the heavens.” Oh really? So Andy, exactly which parts of his movement do you think should reach to the heavens? Do you think Kirk's movement comes from a place of faith? Or is it just using faith to promote Trump and anti immigrant hatred among the college crowd?
Responsibly helping a subset of Purdue students understand loss is clearly part of St. Tom's Mission; Supporting a divisive political movement that disparages immigrants, LGBTQ people and many "others" - not so much. What were you thinking?

Christians nationalists needed the murder of Kirk, their morale was super low from how heavy of a line they’ve been towing for trumps fascists. They are complicit, and this murder is the only thing they’ve had to rally behind since Trump won the election. I hope they enjoy their strategically moralistic use of a tragedy to continue to hide their complicity with this growing Spector of hate in our communities
How rich to use the sermon on the mount to eulogize Kirk. He claimed that "god's perfect law" stated that "thou that shall lay with another man shall be stoned to death". Was Kirk the "he who is without sin"?
"...he was a servant of God, a loving husband and father, an advocate for goodness, truth, and beauty,..."
And a misogynist, racist, Islamophobe, transphobe. Not exactly "goodness, truth, and beauty".
It is possible to be horrified at the manner of his death AND understand that he was a messenger of hatred.
"It is possible to be horrified at the manner of his death AND understand that he was a messenger of hatred." Yes, it is.
As an aging boomer, I'd hate to be in my twenties or thirties and witness the inevitable destruction of America.

Please don’t lump all Christians into that characterization. Christian Nationalists, yes.
