[For those lazy people who want to shout at me before they even read the whole thing: NO I DON'T SUPPORT HIM, THIS IS NOT ABOUT HIM AT ALL, IM JUST A NON-AMERICAN POLITICS GRADUATE, I'M TRYING TO POINT OUT SOME PEOPLE'S F*CKED UP MENTALITY AND WHY WE CANT CONTINUE LIKE THIS]
Seeing people cheer for someone's death is truly horrifying. Any form of violence is wrong and unjustified, yet people think someone "deserves" to die because they oppose their opinion.
A person's words shouldn't be a reason for their death, no matter how wrong they are.
So weird that we still have to remind this in the year 2025:
Violence. is. bad.
Murder. is. bad.
You should NOT support it.
He might've had verbal support for bad people, but he didn't deserve to die in front of others, and those people didn't deserve to get traumatized. I'm not saying you should be mourning him, but don't cheer, it's weird.
This ^ is the news part of my writing but I'll continue with the reason why I think this shouldn't be your mindset (for those people cheering for his death),
this won't be a lecture but a reminder for those who lost their basic humanity to the created:
We as the humankind created borders, states, ideologies. These are as artificial as money, social status, idk the f*ckin characters in your tv show. Throughout the history, we died defending these; we broke out wars, killed our neighbours, family, friends for these ideologies. It still happens where I live, where you live, everywhere. Whether you support or not, it affects you. But for what? Can the dead think? Can the dead change their mind? Or would the killer be true if the opposer dies?
The MOST basic human instinct: the will to stay alive. Because death is the end.
Why should someone lose their life because they don't align with your opinion? Did they kill you when you didn't align with theirs? I'm not talking about "you" as in groups, I'm talking about YOU. As an individual, do you expect to get killed because of your opinion? Do you DESERVE to get killed for your opinion? No. Because it is wrong.
You are human. And you deserve to live; to speak, to hold on.
Words are words. There are people out there thinking that the earth is flat. They do meetings, spread their truth; we know they are wrong. Do we kill them? Do they kill us? No. Because it is f*cking pointless to kill someone for their thoughts.
EDIT 1: If you believe words harm people and lead people to violence (which I agree btw, calm down, I agree they do), wouldn't your words "I'm glad he died" "he said this" "he supported this anyways" lead to similar violent acts? Do you think it just works when others do it?
EDIT 2: Can you also guarantee that justifying a killing just because that person was "dumb and saying dumb sh*t" is not going to turn on you someday?
How can we, as humanity, stop all hate if we let the very thing we created lead us to violence?
End of my rant.

Its honestly shameful that people in the US are not realizing that by supporting the killing of people who spout political rhetoric that they disagree with is directly violating and dismantling their First Amendment Right to FREEDOM OF SPEACH.
People need to realize that it goes both ways. Silencing people via legislation or by straight up murder strictly because of their political beliefs is a direct and absolute violation of our constitution and should be treated as such. It doesn't matter whether you are on the left or right or somewhere else on the political spectrum! This affects EVERYONE.
PROTECT YOUR RIGHTS PEOPLE! FIGHT FOR IT!
Exactly.

Honestly I agree so much as someone who hates politics. i saw the clip of him getting shot and the blood. IF the reason he was killed was because of his opinions it's so so so stupid. politics will never EVER be that serious to the point it causes someones life. apparently their even memeing it on twitter bc of schlatt (i don't have twitter for reasons like this) but even though he was a shit person with terrible opinions he didn't deserve at all. it's honestly super sad how people lack empathy these day
Politics is always that serious unfortunately. The murder and death is more subtle and justifiable. “The LGBTQ are pedophiles” is a political stance. “The homeless don’t deserve human dignity” is a political stance. Think of how many people have died because of these opinion, in the form of laws. Should we mourn for perpetrators in the same fashion as we mourn victims if they would easily laugh at our own deaths? That’s a personal judgment call. I personally will not mourn.

No one said you had to be sad or mourn to have basic human empathy. It's just like saying if a bully bullies you bully them back. It should never cost a life. no matter if your opinions are morally wrong or not.

These opinions DO cost lives. These opinions, and the money that backs them, sway lawmakers to take away healthcare and rights from vulnerable people. That is where my empathy is and that is the line I draw.

listen i don't support this man. he's a moron, he's a shit person with equally shit opinions. at the end of the day their terrible opinions. he has a family and a wife etc etc. still didn't deserve to die nor have his death celebrated.

“I think people dying by gun violence is good actually because guns are good” is not a good opinion morally or ethically. You are diminishing the value of his political affiliation and stances to a simple “disagreement” and being comically reductive of the harm he has caused in America.
Do you realise that I'm not supporting him? f*ck his opinions for all I care, I'm just saying "Murder is bad and cheering for it is weird."
Read the last part again ig?

He did NOT fucking say that, if you're going to enter the argument at all then don't spread misinformation and disrespect the dead. He said that gun related deaths are unfortunate. He also said that protecting our second amendment RIGHTS is still important even with those deaths. Just like we should still prosecute murderers even though some get away with it. Some deaths are not an excuse to take away our constitutional rights.

“It’s worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment” is literally what he said in 2023 after the Christian Covenant school shootings in Nashville. My exaggeration is not at all stretching the truth. The guy sucks.

So he did not, in fact, say "I think people dying by gun violence is good" as you said. Glad we cleared that up.
