America was rocked to its core by the death of a hate-mongering sociopath that i have only barely heard of the same day as yet another school shooting in Colorado that America managed to be barely informed about and completely numb to

violence is exactly who you are, political violence is who your boss is in particular, and these are the principles you teach to children and advertise to the rest of the world. I assume America’s core is like the ones inside tootsie pops that are hazardous to bite into

DJ Taco Trump is not quite the king of political violence compared to some international competitors but he is like a scheming regent or a feudal warlord perhaps

This is still the number one issue in connecticut, where that monster isn’t from and his influence, ideally, holds less weight, because the murder-authorizing and sexual-assault-doing president ORDERED it. for DAYS.

yeah we only allow native born white male americans to glorify violence and hatred and then institute national mourning for them and then vow to add more violence and hatred when they get taken down by it. “Free speech! free speech! Whoa my dude that’s only for me and my pals”

when someone who advocates prayer in place of science gets murdered, I feel like, at best, that proves prayer DOESN’T work. And worse for snarky xenophobic bullies with a national platform would be if prayer does work but not the way they think it does.

I am surprised by this reaction from my usually tough guy family member E who tries to laugh off criticism of his own insensitive remarks, called covid-19 a hoax and hassled journalists over pizzagate nonsense, who wrote an entire song glorifying Alex Jones, who made a fortune over inflammatory tirades, which includes mocking victims of gun violence. And also the selling of snake oil dietary and “masculinity” supplements, one of which I found in my basement after E stayed at my house for a few weeks in 2023. I didn’t realize Kirk was such a big deal, but I guess he is like a civil rights leader for people who hate civil rights. A Malcolm, if you white. Pardon, will. Although apparently to E’s credit he did untag himself from someone else’s post about what a “hero” Mr. Kirk was, it is also possible he didn’t untag and I just can’t see that post now because someone who isn’t me tried to argue against the notion that a progress-halting nation-damager was a hero and the posting account went private and cried of victimization by The Left but I don’t have proof so
Yeah out of control liberals did it. Or out of control conservatives who didn’t think Kirk was anti-left ENOUGH. Or someone YOU paid to get Epstein out of the news for a little while did it. Don’t worry I am white I can say that.

hey speaking of foreigners endorsing violence

What’s his problem? Millions of people leave in peace whenever he takes over.

We don’t want violence. By the way, death penalty. By the wayer, ignore anything not told to you by us.
“death penalty” of course implies they intend both to catch the guy and not kill him until after he has been interrogated

at 31 years of age Kirk could very well have had enough time ahead to become a decent person and use his influence for positive ends but he had been given absolutely no incentive to do so and I find his life substantially sadder than his death.

then a day later, the shooter “turned himself in” coerced by his incredibly churchy and NON-leftist family perhaps aware that police would shoot him dead rather than arrest him, or perhaps hoping to get the $100,000 reward offered by the DOGE-gutted fbi that had been utterly unable to find him.

He was shot by a white twerp from the place where it happened, you dumb toilets. The “race war” people like Kirk convinced you exists is only being fought from your side. Note that there is no official us government acknowledgment of abuse like this or retraction of accusations against leftist for the murder they had no part in. Because unlike George W Bush, Donald Trump DOES care about black people, in particular them being subservient and afraid.

How does having a full-time job condemning anyone who isn’t hetero-normative and caucasian make you a “political activist who rallied young voters”? I can understand, begrudgingly, if a republican governor describes him like that, but a news article about what the governor said should not.

praying for thirty three hours is not leadership. AFTER the thing already happened you PRAYED to retroactively alter how it might have occurred? Like as long as you don’t have information you can change what the information is, Schrodinger’s rifle or something*, That is preposterous, and you think it reflects well on yourself to admit this. You have a problem where hetero normative whites who fetishize guns victimize and collectively punish non-white, perceived-foreign and lgbtish people for crimes that hetero normative local white gun fetishists are committing, or really any remotely blame-worthy thing. Stop praying and THINK for a while or maybe even better take a nap before you give statements. Assuming you actually want to solve this; admittedly I don’t get the impression that anyone does.

*or the injured scientist in Cave Story who DIES if you talk to him but recovers and gives you the jetpack later if you simply ignore his mangled body. This is probably not a helpful point of reference for many people

oh grapety purple there is ONE evildoer responsible for killing him who is IN JAIL in Utah now. battle-crying around the world is unnecessary. And the folks who made sure he had guns and knew how to use them voted for the mutants you thank and heap praise upon. Nothing about this sequence of stories makes sense. How does it eat itself but keep getting bigger?

gorf I would love to not keep talking about this creep. I much preferred when the main thing I knew about him was that he LOOKED like a scumbag who would be set in his ways and smugly imposing them on others by the time he got to high school. But his acolytes including apparently the entire executive branch who don’t want their own crimes and abuses to be news means this is the world’s biggest and dumbest story for as long as they can keep it that way.

preferably into the sunset, though if they think the earth is flat so they’ll believe the sun is actually there and will set them on fire and thus will avoid it
