What a total fucking asshole. So he had two young children. Apparently a daughter and a son, three and 1½ years old, respectively. The loss of their father is, by any measure, tragic. But there is, in fact, another perspective, even if it sounds terribly callous. It occurs to me from having seen the recent movie _Sovereign_, about a widowed father who’s a determined sovereign citizen and hates government and all formal institutions, and tries to instill the same values in his son. Partly based on a true story, it ends in tragedy for both of them. I respectfully suggest that Kirk’s young children may be better off without him. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/trump-ally-and-conservative-pundit-charlie-kirk-shot-at-utah-event-now-reported-deceased-same-date-10sep2025/1022916)._
