    I’m pro 2nd amendment, and this reminds me to keep my beliefs private.

    There are millions of people that will cheer the death of anyone who disagrees with them. This reveals (one more time) how easy it is for a civilian population to turn into a murderous mob.

    One day you’re fine, the next day you’re murdered for being Jewish, and they cheer.

    One day you’re fine, the next day you’re murdered for wearing glasses, and they cheer.

    One day you’re fine, the next day you’re murdered for criticizing the prophet, and they cheer.

    and so on, forever. Never forget.

      Charlie Kirk got murdered for being racist, and transphobic, and substituting what he wanted to be true for actual data, and saying school shootings were an acceptable sacrifice for gun rights, while retaining the thinnest possible veneer of reasonability to convince people his views were normal.

      I can see why Republicans in particular are scared that if someone like him can get shot, they might be next.

      I’m pro 2a. This guy died because he was a tremendous asshole who advocated violent policies and contributed to the rise of fascism in the USA.
