A news account here. I’m sorry he apologized, but I understand his reasons. There was nothing to apologize for. Here’s what Professor Hook wrote about Mr. Kirk:

:Apparently he was a hate spreading Nazi. I wasn’t paying close enough attention to the idiotic right fringe to even know who he was,” Hook continued. “I’m sorry for his family that he was a hate spreading Nazi and got killed. I’m sure they deserved better. Maybe good people could now enter their lives. But geez, where was all this concern when the politicians in Minnesota were shot? And the school shootings? And Capitol Police? I have no thoughts or prayers for this hate spreading Nazi. A shrug, maybe.

This is obviously lawful political speech about a matter of public concern. In a free society, citizens can express this view, and the contrary view, without government sanction. Full stop. I’m glad a court, once again, stopped the Republicans who hate free speech!

(Thanks to John Bussanich for flagging this for me.)
