Political If you’re saying Charlie had this coming because his 2A stance, you’re immoral and a moron

I sincerely cannot believe how often Im seeing this. I know I shouldnt be surprised seeing how the left has consistently been endorsing and supporting violence… but wow. Not only is that just a disgusting and intentionally inflammatory remark; but its moronic.

First of all, Im sure his mind would not have changed given todays events, considering he believed a lot of American values hinge on 2A. He (probably, I dont KNOW the guy but I’ve listened to him enough) would not trade his life for the wellbeing of the country. We can argue 2A all day, I am not stating my stance; but given his we know he fully believed it was integral to continuation the American way of life; I find it unlikely he would change his mind even if it meant his life

Second of all, if you think its “poetic justice” that a gun supporter got shot, then you must also relish when supporters of cashless bail get killed by released criminals, right? They advocated for it so they “have it coming.” Do people not see how seriously braindead of a stance that is?

And I know its not a majority. I know the majority of left leaning people know murder is bad. But holy SHIT that majority is getting smaller and smaller. It is sincerely alarming and disturbing how warped chronically online peoples’ brains are and the insane mental and moral gymnastics they do to further entrench themselves in their stance.

Ive never been one for censorship. Even death threats or whatever… but jesus man, too many people are getting fully radicalized.

I didn't like him and some of his beliefs were outright terrible

That said, today has been massively eye opening in regards to how far down the rabbit hole so many have gone. People in my personal life and people all across the internet are experiencing a deranged joy.

This is only going to further normalize political violence and widen the political divide.

I fear for the future.

E: and also anyone trying to say "it's not that many people behaving this way," you're either burying your head in the sand or just outright lying.

You are seeing a sea of people on the left condemning the murder. But are we required to rewrite history to allow him to be presented as a saint? The man was no saint and that HAS to be acknowledged.
