I'm happy he's not spewing hate anymore. However, I abhor (and denounce) how that came to pass and remain genuinely disgusted at the sick, bloodthirsty mob social media turns into when shit like this happens (or attempted happens).
I am very much not an "ends justify the means" kind of person and firmly believe that kind of logic is extremely dangerous.
How does this make me feel? Well, disgusted. Disgusted that there's more gun violence in the world, disgusted that people are cheering it on, and disgusted with pretty much everyone's knee-jerk takes on the matter. I can forgive celebrating his passing as dark humor / gallows humor. I can even understand laughing at the schadenfreude due to the guy's stance on exactly this kind of thing. But for people to be praising the suspect or calling for more is firmly crossing the line into psychopath territory.
Again, the ends do not justify the means.
I can feel in my bones that the other shoe is about to drop, and all these people salivating over the bloodshed are not going to be happy when it does. Violence only begets more violence, and people need to understand that and not be cheering it on.
I usually alternate between Risa and 10F unless I'm posting for a theme event happening in 10F. Like to diversify my Trek-adjacent shitposting lol.
Angry motorcycle guys, a chair thrown.
Geordi, in the bottom-left pane.

Apparently Seth MacFarlane asked himself the same question because in The Orville, exactly that happens.
Or maybe the orgy resulted in a holodeck malfunction? I gotta re-watch.
Charlie Kirk. Kirk, 31, was the CEO...
He was only 31?
Geezus. Hate really does age you. I'm over 10 years his senior, and he looks 5 years older than me. And for once, this isn't a humble-brag.
I mean, I wouldn't say "don't celebrate it" but just because someone else is a piece of shit isn't a blank check for you* to be a piece of shit.
*Collective "you"
But I'm not going to spare him any empathy either
Me either. I'm not even sad he's (apparently) no longer among us. I just get disgusted with everyone who's calling for violence left and right (metaphorically and politically).
Might be a bit premature. I'm gonna hold off until someone whose brain isn't a pile of mush and who isn't a pathological liar confirms it.
Can you and jawa21 team up and dub whole episodes of Trek (dealer's choice) with audio/dialog from The Golden Girls? I didn't know that was something I needed in my life.
Also, I have never seen TGG but you have made me add it to my watch list.
