You're lying to yourself. If you were prepared to say that to the innocent family of a murder victim, no matter who they were, you would be a psychopath. Much more likely you're just a hypocrite, venting. Thankfully.
Honestly I don't really even feel comfortable calling it murder. Brian Thompson killed more people than any serial killer in history. Like, I can sympathize with his family, or atleast his kids, I guess. But that doesn't mean his death wasn't 100% justified.
Hatred. Vengefulness. Open apology of first-degree murder by public figures and millions of ordinary people. America, you are in such deep sh*t. Please let this madness stay within your borders.
Can't have a revolution without some bloodshed, and until we have a revolution ordinary people are going to continue dying by the thousands.
I mean, if you wanna look down your nose from up on your high horse, go ahead. But we're dying down here. We're being brutalized. I think we have a fucking right to cheer on the one person in recent memory to give us a tiny scrap of justice.
We get beaten and scapegoated anytime we have a peaceful protest. The ruling class has been asking for this for a long time.
The second American Revolution will be bloodless, if the left allows it to be.
Absolute braindead take
It's not mine...it was said by Kevin Roberts, president of The Heritage Foundation, major conservative think-tank behind such noble works as "Project 2025".
Unfortunately my intended mocking tone doesn't carry across text too well.
Innocent is stretching quite a bit the definition of that word, maybe the children, but only truly if they were very young. And no, you don't need to be a psychopath, you just need to be tired of all the bullshit in this world. When the heads started to roll in France during the revolution, were all the people involved psychopaths? Most likely not. Anger is a powerful motivator. But I guess someone who is such an apologist for a billionaire CEO who ruined the lives of many couldn't possibly understand how deep hatred can run.
Deep hatred is not an excuse for cold-blooded murder. And no, I do not support capital punishment either, it should go without saying.
Your worldview is so weird and seems deeeeeeeply insecure.
