    I’m more disappointed than anything. I’m disappointed that he got killed the way he did. I’m disappointed that the left cheered for it. I’m disappointed the right treated him as if he was Jesus. I’m disappointed that school shootings have become so normalized. However, nothing disappoints me more than knowing that nothing is going change because my fellow Americans don’t give a fuck about all this needless violence.

      i give left a pass, when the right have been cheering every time a democrat is shot, or murdered, or a black executed by the police. Also someone like charlie kirk should not be honored, he helped spread and violence in millions of young americans, its stepping stone to moving further right than he is.

        If you’re condemning and condoning the same behavior based on whether or not you like/agree with the person, then you don’t believe in the underlying principle at all. Simple put, you care more about your political team getting one in on the other team than maintaining a civil society.

      Oh I give a fuck about gun violence, but I live in a red state that is gerrymandered to hell and with all kinds of voter suppression. What can I do about it?
