Of course. This violence was the result of political violence perpetrated by Kirk and his fascist club of bloodthirsty nazis. This was neither the beginning of the cycle nor the end. When justice fails and people lose faith in the systems that are meant to provide it, they will take to dealing with matters themselves. So the cycle continues. It will end only when justice, fairness, liberty, and equity have been restored.
This is what the old guard, like him and Jon Stewart, don't seem to understand. You can't reason with fascists, and they'll continue to use their own political violence as a tool to get what they want.
