    one of the primary protections of the constitution is that nobody can infringe upon your constitutional rights. if they do, they lose some of the protections given to them through the constitution.

    I think it’s fair that if some racist fuckhole wants to kill people based on their color or gender identity, it’s only fair that we celebrate when they die. obviously death is not the goal, however a celebration that the hate they injected into the world is now slightly weaker over all is.

    my point is, if you lead a life of an asshole you will be remembered as an asshole.

      You can celebrate their deaths all you want. But when you start dehumanizing them you’re taking notes from their playbook. Be better than them.

        Be better than them.

        I am already better than them. I don’t advocate for needless violence or aggression against people who have shown me neither.

        However, I advocate for the use of deadly force against anyone who attempts to circumvent my rights and freedoms in an attempt to oppress or imprison me unjustly.

        I won’t forget they are human. If I would, that would make it much more difficult to explain why they had to die. An animal kills for survival. A beast kills for sport. A human kills for principle.

        It’s not about the death or act of killing, it’s about sending a message. “I am here, and I refuse to submit to your unjust will.”
