FWIW, Desmond Holly, the Colorado school shooter whose crime occurred at the same time that Kirk was murdered, had been viewing far right, Nazi, content on his computer.

I wouldn't normally note that, but as the populist far right is busy trying to make a martyr out of Kirk as a victim of a left wing shooter (which so far we're not really certain was the motivation), it probably ought to be mentioned.

The US today has a late Weimar Republic feel to it.
