Yeah, when he started (fake) crying I was expecting him to pretend it was about Kirk but actually make it about children killed in school shootings. It was far more of an apology than it should have been.
Also, I hate the line (that's often repeated) that "violence is never the answer." OK. If that's true, I guess we should stop celebrating those who fought in WWII, and soldiers in general? How can you celebrate war while also holding the opinion that all violence is wrong? They obviously both can't be true at the same time, and we all know which one isn't true.
