      I am a pacifist because I recognize the strength of my convictions can be mirrored by those who share the opposite belief and we can both be “right”

      That said, this dudes actions have run parallel to my convictions and I’m here for it.

        From me you’ve greater respect as a teacher than soldier. We certainly agree that there’s much strength in our diversity.

    Hey when humanity collectively cheers for an act that is bad we ought to take a look at what caused the action NOT the people cheering for it.

    Our morbid fascination and enthusiasm for the violence acted on the ceo is the symptom of a disease we are not to blame for.

    Making this about yourself is where you screwed up.

      You say that as if several top level comments in this very post aren’t expressing sexual attraction to an actual killer.

    I didn’t care but then the memes were pretty funny so now I’m on the shooters simp list.

    Thank you for understanding the difference.

    The former is understandable, if a bit morbid. The latter is just sick in the head.

      Well hey, maybe we’re all trying and failing to get appointments with covered therapists. If only health insurance weren’t so byzantine and inaccessible for people outside of the upper class…

        Happy he’s dead? Sure, whatever. Gallows humor has it’s place, and that’s one thing.

        Cheering the killer, frothing at the mouth for more, making excuses to commit murder, calling for copy cats, hoping it’s a trend, calling it a “good start”, screeching “guillotines!” or “9mm are the new guillotine”, etc are all beyond the pale and completely inexcusable.

          My point is that a lot of people in the US genuinely do need mental health care and can’t get it. Those people are one of the demographics of people for whom this is the biggest victory. So mentally ill people, poor people, and people with long-term illnesses are more likely to be cheering rn
