General Discussion

Kirk was a lifelong, unapologetic bigot.
Fine with me.
He said these kinds of killings were the price paid for the 2nd Amendment.
ALSO, fine with me (if that's your position).

What that means, is that his blood now goes into the same bucket as every dead gradeschooler since columbine. Again, fine with me, if that's where you're gonna come down.
But it ALSO ALSO MEANS, this is business as usual for America, and so why the outrage?
The 'fuck your feelings crowd' would have us believe they're so weepy over this, that he should be Lain in State?...REALLY?!

No dice. If this is, in fact, the cost of doing business, then there's NOTHING DIFFERENT about this gun death compared to ANY of the others...not a damn thing.
So, its performative. It's crocodile-tears faux poutrage, all the way down and we should fucking ignore their feelings for the sake the Regular National Business that we were doing on Monday.

Like releasing the Epstien Files.
