Too many people pearl clutching today over worries of retributive violence, as if the fascists aren't already going to be committing that violence on us in the near future regardless. It's not too early to say that this scumbag deserved much worse and I'm glad he got rocked so publicly. Mods I'll understand if you delete this and I'm truly sorry for the trouble if you do, I just need a personal break today from the media cacophony of liberals collectively reconciling with the realization that we live in an abnormally and horrifically violent society.

People are very focused on the blood gushing part. And I get that. But I can't say I haven't had that normalized by movies. It's not that different.

The shocking thing about it to me is not the blood but his reaction. Movies do not capture the subtlety of watching the life leave from someone's body so quickly. I think that's what makes the blood so much more shocking.

I don't watch this kind of stuff ever. I saw it on twitter by mistake. It was hard not to.
