    Shit’s about to get real, isn’t it? I think we’re going to be entering one of those weeks when decades happen…

        It will be interesting to see if it’s a progressive person who’s fighting fascists, or another right wingers who should have had their weapons confiscated long ago

          Anybody who shoots someone in cold blood is not someone who should have access to firearms. Whether you want the person they killed dead or not, they are violent sociopaths and we need common sense restrictions to keep guns out of their hands.

            Lol this wasn’t in cold blood. Kirk spent his life fueling hatred that led to very real consequences for a lot of innocent people.

            You know who kills people in cold blood? Cops shooting minorities while breaking into the wrong address. People killing black kids who politely ring their doorbell. A cop kneeling on a man’s neck until he dies over $20. A health insurance company deciding you don’t need a treatment that your doctor is saying you need. That is killing in cold blood.

            Fascists and Nazis aren’t people. They’re vermin and we’re in desperate need of more exterminators.

                  Exactly. We don’t know their motivations. If they are unhinged, and I don’t think the odds are against that possibility, then they shouldn’t have ever had access to firearms. If they were acting in self defense, then that’s a different problem entirely. The former is a threat to everyone. The latter is a threat to fascists.

            Yeah, whoever did this didn’t do it in cold blood. No matter which side they were on, they definitely had good reason to do what they did.

            You can argue death is bad if you want, and I’ll agree with you. I just think some things are worse than death. For example, I think war is horrible. However, if you just let an opponent walk over you then things will be much worse for everyone. Eventually you have to be willing to kill for what’s right. That line is going to be different for everyone.

      I’ve had this foreboding anxiety since last Saturday, first I thought it was Chicago, then Poland, and now this on top. Got the hat trick I guess
