    Do not let those with a monopoly on violence tell you that violence is wrong.

      to his dying words too. He got asked about mass shootings and used the anti-black dogwhistle “gang violence?” BLAM. DEAD.

      Then he should have had the balls to say it. This might have happened sooner and saved some oxygen.

      No. As a result of him dying, one of the people spreading the hate filled propaganda causing the problems in the US is dead. Mini Goebbels just died.

      There’s literally masked gangs disappearing people all over the USA right now, national guard in D.C. and plans on sending them to other cities, so something like this was pretty much inevitable. 9 months in btw.

        More like: Trump and his fascist goons are always on the lookout for any excuse to paint themselves as victims and crackdown even harder on citizens.

        edit: to be clear, I’m pro Nazi-killing. I’m just anti-strawman when there’s a v clear interpretation.

          but that’s exactly it, they’re going to do that anyways and use any excuse for it if one doesn’t exist. this doesn’t escalate things in that respect

          They have no trouble making up provably false bullshit to justify their actions anyways.

    so glad he could sacrifice himself for what’s most important to him 🥰🥰

    Hopefully republicans will now see why peaceful political discourse is a benefit for everyone. Though I strongly suspect that they’ll just try to monopolize violence to continue as always.
