13. The murderer is a loser

So Tyler Robinson went and killed a debater who opened up the floor for to Democratic college students to share their opinions and ideas. So stupid and unnecessary. That's not how you defeat someone like that. You defeat him through debate. Tell him why his ideas are wrong and how things can be improved. You don't shut down the debate. That seems to be the problem these days with younger people. They don't want debate, and anyone who disagrees with them needs to be destroyed. Even before the debate, there were [940 activists (corrected)] who signed a petition to prevent him from speaking.
