    This is obviously not LAMF.

    If someone said “it’s unfortunate that some people die in car crashes, but that doesn’t mean we should ban cars”, and then they’re killed by a drunk driver, would you call that LAMF? Was that person advocating for people to be killed in car crashes?

    Obviously not.

    I’m just… well, not necessarily happy, but satisfied that at least one shitgoblin who personally benefitted from countless tragedies was dealt the exact same blow he loved visiting on other people by proxy.

    Just one person who profits from, let’s not sugarcoat it, evil, taken out by his very own methods. I know most of the world is incredibly unjust, but just sometimes we get synchronicities like these that signal that, hey, there ARE consequences for being a terrible human being, and not all who deserve it get punishment… but it MIGHT happen any day and it might be YOU it happens to next.

    That must be an incredibly sobering thought for people who have never heard “no” in their lives and have an army of servants at their beck and call.

      I disagree with the first part, lol. What were the odds he would’ve done a 180 and started preaching love, wisdom, cooperation and virtue? That he would at any point become something besides a blight on the world? Or that he would simply shut his mouth? This is a net positive, not unlike the killing of a mass rapist being a net positive, and the only ones who could suffer momentarily are his children (but maybe in time they’ll understand the same way the kids of this fictional rapist would/should also understand).

        I say it’s actually better than the rapist, because Charlie Kirk’s influence was far wider, and his words could and did lead to a far larger and more widespread volume of suffering.
