Shortly after Kirk, 31, was shot Wednesday while speaking at a campus event in Utah, Aaron Sharpe, co-owner of Lucius Q in Cincinnati, commented on a Facebook post from someone offering prayers for the husband and father of two.
"Good riddance," Sharpe wrote in a post that is no longer publicly visible but has been circulated widely online in screenshots. "What a piece of s---," he added.
On Wednesday evening, Sharpe doubled down on Facebook, posting, "Don't you dare come at me with your hypocrisy. … If you think that threats of social media attacks on me or my business will in any way keep me silent about what I believe, you are sorely mistaken."
On Thursday, several of Lucius Q's business partners announced they had cut ties with the restaurant. Lucius Q later announced it had parted ways with Sharpe.
Cincinnati's TQL Stadium, home to Major League Soccer's FC Cincinnati and is a former Lucius Q vendor site, took to social media saying it had terminated its relationship with the restaurant.
Lucius Q's longtime meat supplier, Avril Bleh Meat Market, also announced that it has ended its relationship with the barbecue restaurant.
Following the fallout with its partners, Lucius Q announced that Sharpe was "no longer associated with the business."

Oh...the Sharpe guy...building on your phasing, using his words.
Sorry for the confusion.
Gotcha! Thanks for replying. Hope you have a wonderful weekend!
As a business owner I don’t bring politics in to any of it. If you need what I produce and will pay, come on in.
However. I am aware other companies don’t want to provide just goods and services but want to pla6nthe game to show how woke they are. I will not go in to any place with the degenerate homo flag sticker that says “all are welcome here” or any other political jargon that hates me or my faith. Business exists to make profit.
On Facebook :
“Aaron Sharpe is no longer associated with Lucius Q. We found the comments he made on his personal social media pages offensive and, as a result, have severed ties with him.”
Yep.
Sharpe’s business partners should sue him for the damage he caused their business — if Sharpe has any assets.
