Too many people pearl clutching today over worries of retributive violence, as if the fascists aren't already going to be committing that violence on us in the near future regardless. It's not too early to say that this scumbag deserved much worse and I'm glad he got rocked so publicly. Mods I'll understand if you delete this and I'm truly sorry for the trouble if you do, I just need a personal break today from the media cacophony of liberals collectively reconciling with the realization that we live in an abnormally and horrifically violent society.

I don't think his name will linger in memory very long. The pro gun crowd doesn't care when people die, they just don't. And they'll happily use his name for a little while, but it's not like they actually valued his life any more than they value the lives of the children who die from routine school shootings every year. They'll forget about him soon enough.

It's sad to say that, too. We'd like to imagine that these gun lunatics have some sense of empathy with their political allies, or other humans in general, but many of them just don't. And because they don't feel that at all, they can't even fake it, not for long.
