I'm not suggesting you should feel sad. I know that lemme is an echo chamber of far left beliefs and I'm as liberal as a person can be, but I feel like we've lost the plot in some ways. I want peaceful protests. Call me hippie or pacifist, but I abhor violence no matter where it comes from.

    The fuck? I'm a staunch ally of our LGBTQ, black, gun violence survivors. I'm not defending him in any way. I'm saying that we can oppose all of his beliefs and still decry the glorification of violence. Read what you wrote. Because he was a terrible person he deserved not only to be killed, but to be killed slowly? I don't know how some morals get skewed, but I'll die on this hill. Our best freedom fighters led by non violent protests and i fully intend on carrying on that tradition.

    Of course care the care is entirely for he people he harmed or convinced his views were even reasonably sane. Who said we should grieve his death or show respect? Taking joy in the death of another person is a different animal altogether. Also, this feels an awful lot like celebrating his death.

    I'm not saying that he wasn't killed by the same sword he advocated, but to revel in it? Thats something entirely different. To be clear, I think he was a piece of shit, but making a joke of murder isn't the way.
