We’re getting into paradox of tolerance territory, tbh. I’m not upset that supporters of fascism were killed.
I am upset that the guy with the rifle didn’t have better aim (if indeed that was actually how everything went down, and it wasn’t staged in one way or another, because there are several fishy things about this).
i wouldn’t know, according to them and their folks, my friends and family and I are not people, so I guess my definition of that must differ. moreover, I don’t dispense sympathy for people who would cheer and support the news that me and mine have been hunted down and shot in the street. I don’t sympathize with the aggressors. I’ve just been trying to mind my own business and live my life as best I can, but these people (in sudden newfound need of sympathy and feelings of safety, lmao) have been talking for years of purges of non-Whites and gays, and civil wars, and rounding up the undesirables (that’s me, apparently, by virtue of birth) to clean up the country. might as well be asking me to sympathize with a school shooter over his hearing damage from not wearing earplugs while he mowed down a classroom.
True, but they’re still people. Dehumanizing them because they dehumanized you is another path that I don’t care to see. It’s good to be intolerant of intolerance, but nothing ever gives anyone the privilege to do anything intolerable.
Trump got shot at. Trump fine (hence the meme), shooter dead, couple bystanders dead.
But that’s a sacrifice he’s willing to make
they’re still people

They are, indeed, people. My point was only that they are not “bystanders”. They are actively involved, and much more so than the average voter.
Yeah, bad people who try to establish fascism in america, so nothing to be sad about.
Yea americans forget that sometimes
The kind of “people” that are ok with killing most of the others.
Yep, given the number of places currently ‘technically’ invaded by the country. I guess i guess everyone’s desensitised

The Nazis sentenced to death at the Nuremberg trials were people, but they still deserved what they got
