Every cloud has a silver lining. Except in this case the cloud is also silver.

I'm pretty sure trump doesn't need another minor maga death so soon after kirk. After all whatever trump does in response will have to be done again later. So they are probably saving Shapiro for later.

Waiting for the next time they are forced to vote on the trump Epstein files

I hope this is the result, these radical righties fade into the shadows afraid for their lives.

Edited to say; Same people expect our kids to show up in school after mass shootings. HYPOCRITES.

Come on Ben! I just want to have a debate on gun control!

I’ll bet that opened his eyes a bit. I’m sure a few others are a wee more paranoid now as well.

Shapiro still goes outside. He could still get kirked.

Verbalizing this incident is just 👨‍🍳🤌🫴

And here I was thinking that all you needed to stop a bad guy with a gun was a good guy with a gun.

Guess Benny just doesn't know any good people.

It's probably time for you to close up shop Ben. Stop doing your talks, stop promoting hate and lies and start actually being a good husband and learn how to be a better person.

I do not want to normalize murder as a trump card in political discourse - not any further than the right has already mind you.

But I am enjoying seeing these hate mongers feel some of that turned back their way, in a very public manner. Having the outside world ‘cancelled’ for themselves for fear of assassins and high powered rifles. Always having to travel with security, constantly worried if their next organic street encounter will be with a genuine fan, or ‘a fan’ with a vendetta.

Tolerance paradox aside, I still condemn this though - because political assassination does not bode well in the immediate term, nor the long term if this kind of activity keeps repeating… it ultimately only leaves the most hardline and ideological voices on the soapbox.

Imagine being a pedophile rapist with a huge head in the country with the most guns in private hands...

[–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

Let's say , for a moment, that I'm full of shit, and I fear for my life in a shooting event.

[–] harmbugler@piefed.social 6 points 1 day ago

Every ray of sunshine has a silver lining, I suppose.
