I'm not sorry. Seeing someone who spread so much hate and bigotry and weaponized disinformation get his clock cleaned was absolutely fine by me.

I have empathy for lots of people even if we don't always agree, but not for people like Charlie Kirk.

    First positive influence: his psychotic ass is gone. Second: Republicans finally have a hint of fear, knowing there are actual consequences.

    They bet on there being no credible resistance.

    you're assuming they weren't the ones to do it to create a false-flag event to consolidate magats.

    the only fear I have yet to see is from the Democrats. the Republicans are using this as an opportunity to further their agendas.

    mark my words. there will be a national political registry before there's a national gun registry.

    The trouble is often fear is displayed as anger. And when people are experiencing strong emotions, fear included, they behave less predictably and make more impulsive decisions.

    I'm worried about the next left demonstration and hope that everyone stays safe.
