Kirk shooting

I hate that it happened and that people are gloating that it did. Just because his gig was infuriating people & using circular logic to defend his version of right wing ideas is not an excuse to wish him harm. It's horrible all the way around.

I hate that so many people are urging compassion for a man who had absolutely none when it came to other people’s deaths, especially that of black men. I don’t celebrate anyone’s death. But here I’m not shedding any tears, either.

When Rep Melissa Hortman and her husband were killed earlier this year, when Senator John Hoffman and his wife were also shot, there were plenty of jokes. But nobody now defending Kirk said a mumbling word about that. 😞

@bijouxbroussard and therein lies the rub. As much as i may dislike someone's rhetoric, their agenda, their own disregard for humans and their condition, i can't wish death upon them.
I am compelled to have compassion, not for him or for his hangers on, but for the two babies he's left.
What "they" choose to say and do when tragedy strikes, has no bearing on how i choose to respond.

The menace that occupies the oval office made abhorrent jokes about paul pelosi. So then, did the cult.
They are far worse than deplorable.
I will not to be like them.

@Carla I’m not laughing. But I’m not crying, either. Basically I’m shaking my head because if ever there were a case of someone who lived by the sword, dying by the sword (gun), this was it. 🤔

@bijouxbroussard no crying here either. He was a despicable man. The man that chose to end him is as well.

He was answering a gun control question when he was shot.
He believed gun deaths were the price we pay for owning those very guns that ended him.
I don't believe in karma. But...karma.
