...to do much to anyone who simply repeated Kirk's words or said they weren't sad that he was killed.

The ones (very few, if any I'm sure) who will most likely be in trouble are the ones who made comments celebrating the killing ("good shot", "glad he was killed", things along those lines)

It's a fine line, but for someone who takes an oath to defend the Constitution, including the First Amendment, agreeing that someone should be murdered for their speech isn't really compatible with that oath.

Same for federal employees.
