Someone wants a timeout for threatening violence, huh?

He who fights with monsters should look to it that he himself does not become a monster, when you gaze long into the abyss the abyss also gazes into you.”

"Kill our way to democracy" is not a winning slogan. But you be you...I'll just block your ignorant ass.

It feels like an extra weight to carry. Even in liberal places like Manhattan, I've had a man become disgusted with me because I'm "a woman wearing men's clothes". That was fairly recently. That's one of the reasons I like cold weather, a coat and hat makes it hard to judge the person wearing it.

For sure the motive matters, from the standpoint of focusing on the shitstains who enable and encourage these people. But you are right that the easy access to guns is why so many people died. A cultist with a knife would have had much less effect.

I'm so very sorry for the loss of your friend. I'm sure you still miss him very much. My mom lost her best friend to AIDS in the 80s as well.

The LGBQT+ community is not a soft target. They have been dealing with these bigoted chuds for decades.

I'm sad because now that community, again, has to watch their backs ever more closely.

Speaking of geography and AR-15 killing statistics ...........Number of gun mass murders in the continent of Australia since 1996—three, two of which were intra-family. When it comes to gun deaths and prisoners per capita, were #1 among developed countries. Just like a shining city on a hill.

What if the bigots and fascists are the local/county/red state, police force? What if the legislators and courts allow it? What if....media institutions promote it? What if ‘Christian’ churches encourage it? Asking for a friend......of humanity.
