an activist was arrested for *checks notes* "potential obstruction of justice."
but later released.
???
the cops can't stop harassing non-conservatives for half a nano-second after their arch-conservative gets shot in the neck. for pity's sake, a moment of silence for your guy.

tmz getting shit apparently for laughter and applause in the broadcast about the shooting. this call for taking our hats off and navel-gazing over our "viciousness," and all the jerking off of kirk in death, i don't want to hear it. why do i need to be scrounging for grief i can process for a socially destructive, serial-lying, christian nationalist, conspiracy theorist, etc. etc., who even said people getting shot was an unfortunate sacrifice we have to make for guns? my grief is for the state of the country. why does america
need to be a place where people get shot on the regular?
the temperature
should be lowered in american discourse, but will there be any reciprocal effort from republicans? i know for a fact that conservatives would have applauded the murder of any elected democrats during the jan 6 riot. "but, but, alec baldwin once said," shut up.
lol, kirk and the crowd were going on about trans mass shooters at the time. "how many are there." "too many!" it's a real issue with those trans people!

don't you think one is too many?
sure, we can entertain that long enough to circle back to all the times when you 1) knee-jerk in defense of religion when yet another molester clergyman is exposed, 2) float some theory of yours about how all the gays and trans
may be unhinged whenever a gay or trans does a Bad Thing.
which is it that we're going with, then? that you can't paint people with such broad brushstrokes, or that it's fair game?
before or not long after kirk bled out, people decided that the shooter wanted christians to abandon their christian values or something stupid like that. already decided that the killer was definitely of some group they can comfortably denigrate. in the aftermath, trump even declared the guy a martyr for the cause.
