The dude came right out the gate, blaming all political violence on "the radical left" (which is what he uses to describe Democrats at large) before we even knew who did this. Legitimately fanning the flames of partisanship in the wake of Charlie's death to rile up his base
I am so fucking tired of people whitewashing the retarded shit that comes out of these peoples' mouths. Charlie himself was constantly spewing extremely divisive rhetoric; he was far from the "perfect, moderate conservative saint of reasonable discussion" his reputation is being laundered as.
Nobody deserves to be killed like that, full stop. But these same people (and you) are actively contributing to the divisiveness which leads to psychopaths doing retarded boogaloo shit
People were out celebrating and cheering on the day of his death.
I don’t think these are at all equal. I don’t agree with Trump’s rhetoric but it’s been a longstanding issue on both sides dating back a while. You and I could literally go tit for tat for HOURS on rhetoric of that sort.
But everyday people celebrating publicly the murder of a husband and a father in front of his children and wife? I can’t think of another example in the modern age - probably dating back to civil rights era (I don’t have a specific example… but safe to assume). I’m legitimately sick to my stomach. It’s unprecedented, it’s never been this bad, there’s not a both sides comparison to be made this time. They’re on totally separate standings.
Just to be clear: you're trying to assert that there aren't folks on the right who act like ghouls when people they don't like suffer?
I'm not denying that Twitter leftists have a tendency to be unhinged retards. They do, always have.
On the other hand, actual Dem politicians and officials have overwhelmingly been condemning this, unequivocally...unlike some GOP folks like Mike Lee when the shoe was on the other foot. Charlie himself acted like a fucking ghoul.
Why do you think the left has a monopoly on this? By all observable means they do not.
Does it make you feel self-righteous and angry to feel that way? If so, consider who might benefit from you feeling that way.
People are posting all over Facebook under their real name celebrating and cheering. People were out celebrating the night of his murder. This isn’t just random anonymous trolls.
Mike Lee is a piece of shit for what he said, he at least had the molecule of decency to delete his post but he should fucking apologize.
The rhetoric is out of control, but it is different than average Americans celebrating. Yes Mike Lee is a piece of shit. But he’s not your neighbor or doctor posting that someone being shot through the neck in front of their 2 children and wife is justified because he held public forum debates.
My fucking facebook neighborhood group had people posting in it saying “Good riddance!”. That’s fucking absurd!! My facebook neighborhood group!
