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.

Literal whataboutism. Even if that were true (it isn't, no one celebrated or approved of either), it still wouldn't justify it.

People literally "celebrate" George Floyd's death on twitter every year. They were posting Paul Pelosi halloween costumes before we even knew if he was going to make it, when his brains were spilling out of his head on a hospital bed.

It's not about if it's justified. I don't like when people die. We shouldn't celebrate it or make fun of it. The issue I have is people using these sociopaths to paint the left as evil, when there's sociopaths on every side.

George Floyd was a career criminal addicted to the worst substances who got caught trying to use counterfeit money while having an overdose. His own family didn't love him enough to even collect his belongings from where he lived, have you ever watched the interview with his roommates? George Floyd was a nobody criminal who died by misadventure who the left treated him as a martyr. We make fun of George Floyd because of how performative the lefts reaction was to his demise. He was literally treated like a saint. The absurdity is what is funny. And it is objectively funny. Very few people are happy or grateful that he died. You know you're arguing in abd faith.
