If we take these two disgusting horrible people out of all this then skin tight leather trousers would still be inappropriate for a widow to wear at her husband's funeral. It doesn't matter who it is wearing the trousers.
Then when you see who it is wearing them trousers it is a bit more open for criticism. Then when we tack on the grifting she did the days after the shooting. And the selling of merch at the funeral I think it is entirely ok to give her shit about it.
Now if she had come out after the shooting and said "I'm devastated, please let me and my kids grieve and mourn" I would defend her right to that. And if she had worn dark coloured clothing to the funeral instead of the usual black mourning attire I would also defend her right to do that.
The fact is she did the grifting within days of his death. And she was the one with the final decision to sell merch and wear those skin tight trousers. Her decisions turned it into a circus, so should be pulled up for looking like a clown.
And I'd say the same if it was Mrs Obama. Except I wouldn't have to because she has some class, whereas, obviously, the Blonde Nazi Wife does not.
Who made you the fucking clothing police?
It's an observation on existing social mores, funeral garb is expected to be fairly modest. There's social value to fitting in with norms.
I did.
Idk man, I feel like I'm taking crazy pills. I think the pants were a 2/10 "scandalous" decision at best.
And I don't feel like "if she grieved the way I think would be appropriate, then her grieving would be valid, but she's grieving wrong so I'm gonna judge her for her slutty outfit," is the defense you seem to think it is...
And I think the fact that the huge rally that his funeral was had things being sold at it to help support the organization he dedicated his life to isn't quite as tacky as you're trying to paint it as being.
Look, I'm not defending either one of them as a person, but I just genuinely don't believe that you'd have any of the same criticisms if Kirk was a huge left wing policy advocate who was killed, and literally everything else played out exact the same way.
