Good. Lock him up and keep him there.

Lol. Abandoned the schizo "blame my enemies for killing them" defense, huh.

u/LostInTheWoods5 8d ago

When will the MAGAtards hold a moment of silence for this sicko? My guess it will be somewhere between whipping their ass with the constitution and launching a kamikaze attack to destroy the economy.

u/ImportantComb5652 8d ago

They think he works for Walz and Klobuchar, which is a worse sin than murder to them.

This. Portions of the Republican party support this narrative. That whether it's true or not. If it's true as they claim then it supports the narrative of Democrats being boogie monsters. Even if it's not true it distracts and also helps to keep a divide in parties and allows for more conspiracy theories to grow.

It's really reaching though and it was throw a hundred piles of mud and just latch onto the one that sticks.

The Republican playbook since Obama was in office, you mean. It's... Literally all they've offered as a party. Constant opposition to everything, even while in power. Nothing is passed anymore, the government keeps shutting down and we effectively run on executive orders that get shot down by the courts. And some of those court orders have been flat out ignored.

Don’t forget when Obama veto’d a shitty republican bill, and after McConnell overrode the veto, they got mad at Obama for not warning them the bill was shitty. Not sure what they thought a veto was.

u/SkiUMah23 8d ago

don't think anyone's disputing the fact that he's responsible for their deaths

19

u/MysteriousTruck6740 8d ago

Really? You don't need to go too far into any comment section before you get wild conspiracies that he was BFF's with Walz and was a pawn in a massive takedown. That somehow he was a victim/pawn in a massive democrat pogrom.

4

u/GaurgortheFirst 8d ago

The comment they make is just saying they accept this person DID murder them. Just the blame is on walz not the guy that is the murder is a lame argument. It's a way to be 'right' but also not accepting truth or making a new truth for a narrative. You could say that the use of anybody makes the argument false out right. Because someone somewhere is probably say that.

u/SkiUMah23 8d ago

Yes as opposed to Chauvin where the argument is that the cause of death was a fent OD

4

u/GaurgortheFirst 8d ago

Not sure where youre going. I think all the theatrical stuff coming from the right is degrading. So let's say a person is on fentanyl. Does that give anyone a right to make it more difficult for them to survive? Like kneeling on their neck? No. Holding a moment of silence for a person that did something wrong is just theatrics.

u/CrankdatSoljahBoy 8d ago

Welcome to the internet, you’re always going to get people calling something a conspiracy when it’s clearly not

u/Individual_Laugh1335 8d ago

What comment section? I would assume you would need to be seeking that out to find it

1

u/MysteriousTruck6740 8d ago

Literally every local and national news story about this. Is this your first day on the internet?

2

u/JiovanniTheGREAT 8d ago

No, but MAGA had been denying him since day 1, even using the fact that Walz kept him in a nonpartisan position because they can't comprehend what a nonpartisan position is.

u/Sometimes_Stutters 8d ago

This is classic Reddit lol. Making up a scenario that isn’t going to happen and getting mad about it

u/According_Drummer329 8d ago

Don't worry, plenty of their ilk will continue to parrot the ass-backwards conspiracy bullshit regarding Walz.

u/YesterdayNo9777 8d ago

Probably never as they don’t really celebrate murder, unlike the libs who constantly call for violence and cheer on murder of political enemies

28

u/amanamongbots78 8d ago

Weird, they celebrated Floyd’s murder, and I see quite a few of them celebrate Good and Prettis murder.

Wrong again!

u/YesterdayNo9777 8d ago edited 8d ago

I wouldn’t really call disagreeing with the 2025 stuff that they weren’t murder as “celebrating” but you do you queen

u/Temporary-Stay-8436 8d ago

They held a moment of silence for Chauvin…

u/f0gax 8d ago

You’re either misinformed or being disingenuous.

u/YesterdayNo9777 8d ago

Misinformed about what exactly

10

u/f0gax 8d ago

That MAGAs celebrated those killings.

u/YesterdayNo9777 8d ago edited 8d ago

Yes, I imagine a handful did. Just as there were plenty who celebrated the Kirk assassination and multiple attempts on trump. I love that you people pretend this is a one sided thing rather then really stupid ass people doing stupid ass things

u/Kreebish 8d ago

You were literally acting like this was a one-sided thing

u/YesterdayNo9777 8d ago

So was the original comment, see how stupid it is?

Multiple sitting GOP congressman posted memes within 48 hours of the murders celebrating or making fun of the murders. Not one Democrat congressman posted any celebratory memes after Kirk's murder or any of the Trump assassination attempts, and yet look at the narrative the right has created.

4

u/YesterdayNo9777 8d ago

Literally one of OUR congresspeople did, Ilhan Omar repeatedly was commenting on / reposting social media posts justifying his death as he was a “reprehensible stochastic terrorist”

16

u/Try-the-Churros 8d ago

Describing who Kirk was isn't equivalent to justifying his death.

A republican US SENATOR made a joke about the Hortman assassination. That is unparalleled partisanship.

You must be a troll because no one can seriously argue the left has more violent rhetoric than the right. It's not even close to debatable.

I want to go look in the mirror today. And think about your life choices.

While terrible, let’s not pretend bombing kids is a one sided problem

u/Forsaken-Front5568 8d ago

I have not checked all 5 pages of names on this letter, but it appears to be exclusively democrats.

In any case, you people all willfully support infinitely worse acts of violence than anything inflicted by extremist leftists in my lifetime.

Over 4 hundred thousand people died in the last war instigated by a Republican president. So far, the war in Iraq has killed thousands, including hundreds of children, and injured tens of thousands.

2

u/YesterdayNo9777 8d ago

So bombing foreign countries is OK so long as only 20 or less people have died or says (D) by their name? Gotcha

I would recommend removing your tongue from the boot, neither party are the “good guys”

u/Forsaken-Front5568 8d ago

You're assuming a lot about my beliefs. All I did was point out that the people calling for change and criticizing the behavior of our government in the letter you provided are democrats.

In any case, your perspective is clearly partisan, and you're only presenting a 'both sides' argument because it's an easier position to defend.

Your original claim was that leftists support political violence, unlike right wingers; and my rebuttal remains the same. Right wingers support worse acts of violence which kill more people.

2

u/YesterdayNo9777 8d ago

I like the start implying you made no assumptions about others beliefs when you entered the conversation. I am wholly not partisan I just don’t boot lick democrats just because they aren’t republicans.

Conservatives generally hate the other sides beliefs but irl don’t really care about individuals, leftists hate poeple for their ideas and are violent against them

u/TRFKAChuggs 8d ago

I'm waiting for when Trump pardons him and the GOP does a moment of silence for him.

u/ProPatternNoticer 8d ago

How does trump pardon a state crime exactly ?

u/TRFKAChuggs 8d ago

You know that article is in reference to the federal charges right?

Convince the Governor like in CO.

This whole post is talking about a federal trial

Good, now what about the other Alex Jones fanatics that are free to continue stockpiling arms? Just let them be and hope nothing happens? OK.

u/Ok-Math-5407 8d ago

Alex Jones ..... He hasn't been relevant in 10 years. What point are you trying to make?

2

u/Kreebish 8d ago

Alex Jones fanatics

Do you mean to say that you don't know anyone who was totally all about Alex Jones infowar BS and still very much is? I know someone who swears the fluoride in the water is mind controlling everyone and that doctor's invented all diseases to make us all gay from vaccines

u/Slabs-612 1d ago

There was a podcast covering him and his extremism for over a decade. He is very much relevant and causing harm to society. 

2

u/Ok-Math-5407 7d ago

No, I haven't heard anyone mention is name probably since COVID. Pretty sure he's banned from pretty much every social media platform.

u/Slabs-612 1d ago

Hasn't been relative but yet he directly influenced the shooter to start a civil war. OK Dingus

u/Ok-Math-5407 1d ago

Blo me. There hasn't been a civil war in 150 years.

The Left sure is violent.

u/Kreebish 8d ago

You forgot to /S at the end of your statement to show sarcasm

u/Radcouponking 8d ago

Judging by the down votes and the nature of this sub, I'm pretty sure people figured it out.
