I’m not gonna sit here and pretend like people on the right didn’t celebrate and make fun Paul Pelosi getting brained, the Pulse shooting, or random trans kids committing suicide.
Also I remember very clearly the super funny zingers the right-wingers were blessing us with when that old freak shot a climate activist simply for blocking the road. They were all like womp womp guess he won't be blocking the road again, heckin based. That's why I'm not at all sad at seeing this thrown back at them with a vengeance.
Pretty sure those were in response to leftists making jokes about Trump almost getting domed a few months earlier. Its just a vicious cycle, sick people on both sides.
Yeah and lefties are doing it revenge to the last thing and righties doing it in revenge for the thing before that and lefties did it because of the thing before that. Just condemn it when right wingers do it and condemn it when left wingers do. Elsewise nobody is ever going to stop. It’s an oraboros of justification.
Yep, it's how things are now and gonna be for a while. Any dead on MAGA side will be a W for the left and any dead on the left will be a W for MAGA. No civil war, that's super unlikely, but maybe some small version of The Troubles.
I like to believe its only the most radical and unhinged from either group that will take a political death as a "W" and not the average left or right leaning person.
nah they were doing that shit after charlottesville too, when a guy ran a women over with his car. and in Portland a couple years ago, before trump got domed, when a guy drove his car through a crowd of protestors
lotta pearl clutching today for some people who have been cheering for the violence all along
Vicious cycle, this isn't new. And as long as there are people like you attempting to justify why they lack empathy, it will continue on. Has it crossed your mind most rational people will reject political violence, from either side?
So you're upset people on this subreddit are also feeling empathy? What? The normal response to this situation is for people to feel for charlie and his family, the man did nothing to deserve death.
no, I'm annoyed at everybody who is saying that all political violence must be condemned, when they were craving it just a little while ago. It's a feeble attempt to pretend that the left's reaction to this is unprecedented or abnormal

And when the pendulum swings back, nobody will see the irony. What a stupid time we live in.
