Executions of the right need to be celebrated, because they won’t receive justice any other way.
I understand this feeling, but by going this route you are playing right into their plans and helping them consolidate their power. All rightism, all authoritarianism, is built around fear. They make their followers fear the out-groups, irrationally at first. That fear is used to perpetuate political violence against the out-groups, and any resistance as used as evidence against them. This fear radicalizes the followers, encouraging them to commit violence, which is again blamed on the out-group victims. Eventually, we reach a Turning Point where outrage can no longer be contained, and it does not matter which side does what, because all violence is the fault of the out-group. We now teeter on that Turning Point, and celebrating Kirks execution feeds the machine the fascists have built.
Unfortunately, people are being targeted not for celebrating his death or violence, but for merely decrying the lionization of that vile, neo-nazi fascist with his own quotes. Still, oppression of the out groups breeds desperation, which drives them to desperate measures, and the right act of desperation is all the excuse the fascists need. If not that, then a crackdown on protestors that they can turn ugly.
Better to play smart and not feed into their plans. At the very least it buys time that can save lives.
