    1. So MAGA…

      You want a martyr for your cause, so bad…why do you pick one that spread hate?

      When you attack the people who attack him…Does it pain you when they use his own words of hatred to deny your claims?

      Is it the act of denial that makes you feel like you’re contributing to your cause? is it the defiance?

      There is no journalistic value in doing free promotion for a GoFundMe-type project that sucks shit. “To be unveiled” doing a lot of lifting here given that, at the time of publishing, the fund has raised ~$1,500 of its $150,000 goal and I’m not sure how that money will get the statue installed in Times Square although admittedly I’m not interested in any further research on the topic. It’s a grift, this article shouldn’t exist, and I’m cranky it’s been posted here. Old woman yells at cloud.

      It’s raised 1% of the funds it needs to even be built and the quote about it being destroyed are just from Instagram users.

      It also hasn’t been signed off by anyone as to where it would go, which, you can’t just buy a statue and install it in public, you need permission which they clearly don’t have.

      Complete non story

      When jello Biafra ran for mayor of San Francisco, one of his campaign promises was to elect a statue of Dan white and have produce vendors sell rotten food to throw at the statue. I think this should happen now.

      It shouldn’t be. It should be completely left alone and ignored. You know all they want is to cry on Fox News about how Antifa Muslim Commie Socialists don’t agree with free speech. Leave that fucking statue alone, do not give them what they want.

    6. I can already imagine the tactical vest wearing idiots standing “guard” of the statue. Oakleys on and pepper spray in hand.

    7. That’s the entire point. Put it up in the most obvious location for it to get vandalized. Cry victim, get headlines.

    8. Why Times Square though? Unless there’s some personal connection with him and NY this just seems like barrel scraping ragebait.

      Every attempt at trying to make Kirk a martyr or some sort of heroic figure has only made him a bigger joke. Nevermind his wife who is making any “legacy” he might’ve left even more of a farce, this whole song and dance is tired

      It should also have a speaker system where it spews all the hateful bullshit that Kirk said.

      I love how the right demanded sympathy and then it led people who never heard of him to look him up and see all the hateful, homophobic, sexist, racist, bigoted bullshit he said when he was around.

      Good!

      Well, maybe not the right thing to say. Sorry he died that way, that’s horrible.

      At the same time?

      We need to move away from his influence. He doesn’t deserve a statue.
