Live by the sword, die by the sword. Kirk took dirty money from powerful, exploitative, unscrupulous and unaccountable elites, to try and poison the minds of the most vulnerable. I'd never say he deserved to get shot in the head, but just that as a christian true believer, he must've been haunted by this possibility.
