    a mormon kid that the right, and erika kirk refuses to BLAME at all, because it ruins their narrative that its a “leftist that shot him”.

      I won’t forget the 24 hours after when all I saw were people celebrating his murder and people literally trying to convince Republicans to start murdering Democrats. Then they realized they could get people fired for showing the wrong emotion and all the murder talk simmered down.

      So people got fired for being happy a prick died. But to my knowledge, nobody was fired for trying to get people to commit murder.

        In Trump’s America, they should be glad ICE didn’t track them down, break into their home at night and just shoot them while asleep in their beds.

        This type of thing hasn’t been reported anywhere, but given they’re willing to murder peaceful citizens with impunity in full view of the public I’m willing to speculate the shit going on we don’t know about is SO much worse.

          So, this is terrifying to think about. Because honestly, I think they’re too incompetent to keep stuff hidden. And he’s generally not interested in secret stuff. He wants to be a loud dictator where people don’t question him, rather than getting away with something he shouldn’t do. In his mind, there’s nothing he shouldn’t do.

          But we know that if something happens off camera, people generally don’t care. So what happens when the next person takes advantage of that apathy.

    It’s so tragic that he made himself an absolute piece of shit who got what he deserved. This and Luigi are two wonderful examples of people on the internet responding enthusiastically to events that make them feel good for quite obvious reasons.

    Not to take away from the hilarity of that meme but the bullet in his neck didn’t match the gun they said was the shooters. Somebody else killed him…

      I believe you got that wrong. I believe the test came up inconclusive, which is phrased as “could not show a match” or something similar, and it does not mean “definitely not that gun”.

      Not an expert, but isn’t most of that “matching the bullet to the gun” shit pseudoscientific nonsense?

    Under a giant banner that read “Prove me wrong”. Sometimes the stars align and deliver cosmic irony that no writer can compete with.

    It was worth it for him, to get shot, so that we can own guns. I’m just happy he’s happy

    I was in a doctor’s office waiting room when it happened and I’m not the slightest bit ashamed to say that I felt pure elation. Unfiltered joy.
