Oh now they're afraid of guns?

"I'm all for violence and hate, just not towards me. I want to spread hate and fear, as I'm a soldier for my beliefs. But not when there's a slightest chance of risk for my own safety involved. I only want to harm others while being safe myself."
It seems that they have definitely started to show themselves so much more that TACO is in office now.
I suppose people are starting to notice.
"But I thought only Republicans had guns. I only want to target defenseless minorities. I'm not willing to die for this cause!"
I would laugh so hard if the person responsible turned out to be a republican... again.
It would be extra great if the shooter was a pardoned Jan. 6 insurrectionist.
It would be nice extra great if he never got caught, and all MAGAs would all have to worry that there's a sniper out there waiting to kill them at any moment.
How come cops are so incompetent nowadays? I thought they were only hiring the best, and now they can barely catch, what, four shooters now?
They stood around for Uvalde, took them a short time to catch the Highland Park guy, Luigi went on the run for days…
It’s fun when they can’t even hide their incompetence.
I remember back when Columbine happened, and while the shooters were thought to be there in the school actively killing students, the cops were moving around aimlessly, chatting and laughing in little groups, like it was a weekend cop picnic. I was outraged by the lack of concern or urgency.
Decades later, it was the same thing at Uvalde, except we had video of them inside the school, and saw how absolutely cowardly they were.
It was the same at Parkland, where the school security officer cowered outside, and then talked other cops out of entering, as they stood outside with their guns, and listened to the killer murder innocent, unarmed students, one after another.
All those years, and nothing had changed. Cops are just as cowardly and useless today as they've always been.
They would just say that that he donated a dollar at the grocery store check out line to help a children's hospital when he was 12, so he's a liberal.
Statistically... Most radicalized loonies are Republicans or have similar beliefs.
Edit: I mean, no sane person would actually grab a gun and kill a public figure. (not that I'm complaining now, or with Luigi)
Ooh here's another one who's right to be scared, and whose death I would struggle to shed a tear over.
We're not supposed to celebrate death or violence.
In unrelated matters, I just want to say that I'm really enjoying Lemmy's m/music community today, y'all should check them out!
Edit: ITT: a lot of people who haven't checked out https://lemmy.world/c/music?dataType=Post&sort=New
I will always celebrate the death of terrorists that target civilians. Stochastic terrorism is still terrorism.
!music@lemmy.world for people who'd like an instance-agnostic link. Idk of a way to specify the sort using this method tho.
We're not supposed to
You don't tell me what I'm supposed to do!
We're not supposed to celebrate death or violence
It depends on what instance you're on. We don't have ads and corporate masters here. As long as you don't encourage someone to go do something like that I think you'll be fine. Depends on the instance admins tho.
We're not supposed to celebrate death or violence.
I'm not celebrating anything. I don't wish anybody to die, but I certainly won't get dressed to go to everybody's funeral.
ObscureMusic (https://sopuli.xyz/c/obscuremusic@piefed.social) has been doing pretty good job, I celebrate posts there all the time. :)
Why are we not supposed to celebrate death?
Because it can be used as an excuse for governments, corporations, or deranged people to target the instances that host us, and the people who run those instances.
I’d die a giddy little girl if I never had to hear his annoying nasally voice again. Sooooo not masculine.
His voice and mannerisms are annoying, but it's what he says that really is the problem. Maybe he thinks Aquaman is now after him.
Agreed. Don't care if you're tall or short, ugly or pretty, nice voice or bad voice. All I care is whether you're a decent person or not.
His whiny voice makes what he says worse, at least to me. I’m not going to listen to some snot nosed bridge troll tell me what’s up.
Here, you can use this to adjust his voice to the nasalliness of your pleasure:
He sounds like a gnat on speed.
He should just hire good guys with guns.
I don't think they'd accept his offer.
Ben Shapiro killed Charlie Kirk. After all, Ben Shapiro was the rising star replacement for Rush Limbaugh until Charlie Kirk came along and passed him up, and became the big MAGA Media darling.
Now Shapiro is back on top. He stands to benefit the most by Kirk's death. Obviously, Shapiro did it.
Nah, he was Seal Team Sixed by Trump for not being a blind devoted follower. See Kirk’s flip flop on Epstein files. Yes, he publicly acquiesced but that showed too much independent thought that, with his following, organization, and youth, was a threat that required fatal consequences.
"Goddammit! I told you to just nick his ear, like you did with me!"
Was the ear ever actually damaged? No medical reports, thomas crooks could've been given a blank believing it to be real and S.S. killing that maga firefighter to add to the authenticity.
(But hey, that's just a theory.)
A theory that I buy 100%. There is video of him 2 weeks later with no bandage, and there isn't the slightest thing wrong with his ear. It should have taken a chunk off his ear, and there wasn't even a scab.
The whole thing was a pre-convention hoax, meant to drum up support. Remember how all of them were wearing bandages on their ears to show solidarity?
Dipshit traitors.
And another attempt at deflection from the pedo files, 2 birds with one bullet through the neck.
I don't know about you, but I don't know where Ben Shapiro was at Noon yesterday.
Seems obvious to me, but MAGA Nazis aren't quick on the uptake. Their primary characteristic, after treason, racism, ignorance, and pedophilia, is virtuosic incompetence. Frankly, it's what will finally save America. Their breathtaking stupidity is unsustainable, and will eventually lead to their failure and collapse.
Hey maybe there's a guy with a hit list going around killing people. Or was that the Minnesota shooter that was out to kill a bunch of democrats?
It proves that guns will make them shut up.
Come on, exercise your free speech.
Guns will also make libs shut up. This isn't a good thing
They've been doing that for a while tho. If you're a minority, even longer - possibly since the country was founded.
That's not the point I'm making. I'm saying that if it had happened to be a prominent liberal commentator at the other end of that bullet, other liberal commentators would cancel shows in fear of their safety. It's not a good situation for anybody
I get the viewpoint, but it did hit a bit differently when people that actively promote offensively hateful viewpoints and widespread gun availability incur the exact sort of expected outcome you'd expect from going down that path.
If you callously say murders are worth it to have guns everywhere, then this can be expected.
If he goes out of his way to stir up a hornets nest to try to hurt others in the area, then I'm not going to be too surprised that he gets stung.
Even as this should be a sign to tone down the rhetoric, a lot of them are doubling down with confrontational perspectives (well out of reach of the public mind you).
libs shut up voluntarily.
Then start ordering their left to shut up.
America's unwillingness to give up guns has desensitized us to violence. Tit-for-tat political violence was the obvious outcome of that. Now even if the country implemented sensible gun policies, I think it's too late. The violence will continue because we're desensitized to it
I don't have a solution. We'll likely live with gun violence as a daily occurrence for the rest of our lives. It'll be a slow and painful recovery if there is one
I'm European and it is the fist time I realize these are 2 different persons. I always mixed them up to now.
It should be a lot easier going forward
They are appendages, therefore you weren't wrong in your original assumption
Significant difference, especially for us Europeans: Shapiro has consistently supported Ukraine whereas Kirk did not.
Good. Now they're learning the part of the book where Frankenstein fears what he created.
Come on Ben, go stand up on a stage somewhere in public, go speak your mind since you love doing that. Don't be a fucking coward, go put yourself out there and keep spewing your hateful drivel.
I have yet to meet a Conservative who isn't a scared coward.
It’s literally their whole thing. I’ve even tried to explain it to them but they just say “I ain’t scared.” Oh so that’s why you cling desperately to your guns and your stereotypes? Total lack of fear.
