Kirk was a man full of hate. Why should I feel any obligation to send any love to him?
Nuance: Martin's request concerned Kirk's family, not Charlie himself. Let's not stray from the facts. The other side does that enough.
For all we know, they might be lovely people (unlikely, but hey.)
Still, weird request, and I would have joined the booing in the moment, I think.
Well, his wife said that the movement didn't stop with his death and that "if you thought that my husband's mission was powerful before you have no idea, you have no idea what you just have unleashed across this entire country and this world" so probably safe to say she's a horrible, minority-bashing white nationalist as well.
