    Indeed a bummer. But hey folks, I got a huge discount on my auto insurance. If you are looking to save a few $’s here & there, I’m here to tell you, that shit adds up. Ask me how to save a few coins for a later time in the comments.

    “I can’t stand the word empathy, actually. I think empathy is a made-up, new age term that — it does a lot of damage.” -Charlie Kirk-

    Tell me Charlie…what does more damage? The word empathy or a rifle round to the neck? I’m curious.

    My bad. You’ll have a little trouble answering now.

        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.

    Good. All the Dems are saying there’s no need for violence and we condem this. Fuck off Im so tired of feigning sympathy for truly horrible people.

    If anything instilling fear in them is far past time much like a certain insurance CEO did

    He’s such a reprehensible piece of shit that I cannot even say thoughts and prayers. He was a person who legitimately made the world worse.

    Gov waltz and many others Dems are saying Charlie’s in their prayer’s. Why? Why the fuck do we have to be the good guys about this when it’s a Republican victim?

    When have they ever show an ounce of respect for kids who have had their heads blown open while in school? Not even respect, they harass families so much that they have to move and create celebrities like Alex jones who made millions off their loss
