28. I've posted this numerous times today, but I really think it's what happened here.

No one advocated for this man's death and certainly no one on DU was involved in his killing.

Karma just bites sometimes. To me, it's like when one of those wild game hunters gets killed by the very animal that they were trying to kill. Kirk got bitten today by what he advocated so forcefully for. Sometimes, the universe just reminds us that it's a powerful thing.

We are most definitely at war and it's going to take getting tough, getting down and dirty, and beating up the bullies to save us. For some on here to think we can still be all civilized and proper while the other side seeks to eradicate us, is a little stupid in my opinion.

I take no pleasure in what happened today, but I didn't cause it, and I will use my sympathies elsewhere. Like the kids in Colorado today, or in my own neck of the woods, the kids who were massacred in Uvalde.
