    Couldn’t happen to a better guy. He advocated for guns on campus, and got exactly what he wanted.

    He stated that the few shootings were worth it. Not a soul should feel sorry for him.

    I’m fairly confidant this is a setup for Trump to start taking away guns, though, not some heroic revolutionary.

    When a MAGA piece of shit gets gunned down, our Dear Leader is tripping over himself to praise the sonofabitch.

    But when kids get gunned down at school, not a peep.

    You know where the orange utan’s sympathies lie. What a nauseating human being…

      Hey, I hate Trump as much as the next guy, but I have to correct this. In January of '24, when Trump was on the campaign trail there was a school shooting in Perry, Iowa that took the life of a sixth grader and injured 7 others. After a moment of silence, Trump did come out and make a statement. The moment of silence was 36 hours long and the statement was “get over it”, so it would probably be better if he had kept his mouth shut, but there you go. He did make a peep.

    Mod opinion: Links to the video not marked NSFW/NSFL will be removed.

    My non-mod opinion:

    Not going to celebrate, just noting:

    Most of my conservative coworkers haven’t even posted anything about his death on Facebook, instead they are posting about how COVID-19 is still being used as a weapon.

    I do not condone this type of violence in any way whatsoever. I never liked this guy and he was human garbage, but this is not the answer.

    However… I do not feel bad for him or his fans. I feel bad for his kids who had to witness it and will now grow up without a father and I would never wish that upon anyone. Unfortunately, when you base an entire career off of hate you’ll only get hate back. We’re talking about the same man that said school shootings and people dying from gun violence are necessary sacrifices. The same man that wanted to bail out the guy that assassinated two Democratic lawmakers. The same man that stopped talking about Epstein as soon as Trump came up.

    I think political violence is disgusting and a slippery slope to so much worse, but I do not feel bad for this man for facing the consequences of his actions and hate.

      Sometimes violence is needed. You know your revolution you guys are so proud of. When rich white guys didn’t want to pay taxes. Oh not much has changed.
