    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.”
