    To be crystal clear:

    you don’t think we should show sympathy for someone - anyone - on the receiving end of a politically-motivated violent attack?

      Kirk himself said that death was a necessary evil of maintaining the second amendment. He advocated public executions and even allowing children to watch them. I have great sympathy for his children who were present at his public execution. I’ve zero sympathy for him. It was literally what he asked for and promoted.

        What a strange response from a different account, seemingly responding to the wrong comment?

        is meco03211 antifa_ceo’s alt they forgot to switch, or are you just massively weird / confused?

          No, you said -anyone- who is a victim of political violence deserves sympathy. They brought up one of the more recent people who 100% deserved no such thing.

            I absolutely said no such thing. It sounds like you may be confused.

              This not you then? Different number of 'l’s?

                I asked a question. I did not assert anything, as reading comprehension tells us.

                  Ahhhh ok right. So nothing rhetorical here, just a genuine question you had with no planned follow-up or point to attempt to make. Uh huh.

                  How about I flip the question on you…

                  Do you think we should show sympathy for anyone and everyone on the receiving end of a politically-motivated violent attack?

                    My comment itself WAS the flipping of the question. this all started because someone named antifa_ceo said that an innocent person who was the victim of a political attack deserved no sympathy. So I flipped the question, like you did, like any person with empathy would do.

                    This thread is lost.

                  What a loser attitude to have when someone calls you out.

                    I don’t feel called out. I realize someone misunderstood my comment, and it’s easy enough to do when feeling emotional.

      Anyone? Absolutely not.

      I know nothing about this woman, so I’m not going to personally make a judgment call here, but you’re a naive fool if you don’t think there are people who would make the world a better place if they left it
