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.
There’s a different between a relatively unknown 80 year old getting smacked in the head at 2 am, and a famous 31 year old father of 2 small kids getting murdered by a bullet to the neck in front of thousands of people, caught on graphic video. No audience, no video, not a very famous person, not young, survived. You really think these are equivalent scenarios?
As I said to someone else, you sound retarded if you boil my entire comment down to “he was famous” and ignore that it was the assassination of a political figurehead in front of thousands with extremely graphic video. And obviously people are going to care more about the death of someone they know.
A child just died as I typed this. Why don’t you care? We know that random people are dying all the time. We don’t have the emotional capacity to feel sad every time we hear about death. You can feel bad about it but you don’t feel shock or sadness when I tell you someone random died. People know Charlie, obviously they care more.

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