Republican here: it was on the news I remember mourning it. I’m tired of people murdering to circumvent the justice system

the difference is he was known by millions, that's simply how coverage works. it's either someone famous or a child for extreme coverage like this

Killed by a lunatic democrat who was upset about her vote on illegal immigrant healthcare. Heartbreaking as well, but of course nobody talks about what actually happened, just another case of what aboutism

Wait I thought it was just her that died and the husband was injured?

One also happened live in front of thousands. Its pretty common sense as to why these events reached the audiences they did

Nobody ignored it. All conservatives/ republicans in mn mourned the loss of them. This ain’t about sides. It’s human life.

Maybe because those lawmakers were killed by a leftist. A former Tim Walz appointee actually. There was no outrage because it didn’t fit the narrative

The three Hoffmans survived (adults had 17 bullet wounds between them but daughter was unharmed) but the Hortman couple and their dog did not.

so why is it so easy for mentally ill people to have guns, and why is this administration eliminating funding to SAMHSA?

Then preach for stricter gun laws. Instead of blaming a party as a whole

Why because the justice system works so well?

No. But it doesn’t justify just shooting people because you think they deserve to die

Nope. Well-known right-wing evangelical who openly shared his hatred of abortion access and LGBTQ+ people who had a hit-list of democratic politicians and supporters of Planned Parenthood.

Revolution is revolution regardless of the year it happens. Is your solution protests that the government respond violently to. Art that ends up censored? Social media posts that go ignored? Please enlighten us on your revolution where no one dies

neither do i, i come from a gun owning household and support the right to bear arms. what i don’t support is how easy it is, legally or illegally, to access weapons of lethal force and the mental gymnastics done to justify it.

I agree. They aren’t adjusting their methods, we can’t either. Same with war and such. Man is going to find a way to kill his fellow man

The rapist in office felt they were a “waste of time” so there’s no national order for flags to be lowered.

https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/fact-checking-unsubstantiated-claims-linking-gov-walz-to-minnesota-lawmakers-shootings It concerns me how easily people believe this conspiracy theories. He was one of 41 members of an apolitical Workforce Development board reappointed by Vance. There’s no indication that he was leftist, but he was vocally anti-abortion and evangelical.

Yea because shooting a random stranger before they shoot you after pillaging a village because some rich people sent you to fight over resources is an act of love

War can be an act of hate as well. And methods of death are getting gruesome with the guise of “our military needs to be the most advanced”

While war can be an act of hate, the deaths due to war are not targeted at one individual. The action taken against Kirk was not in defense of a nation but rather in hatred towards him

Whether you agree with it or not, what happened to Kirk can ABSOLUTELY be spun as defense of a nation. “His rhetoric and movement was threat to the soul of the county and the vulnerable within it. To protect the nation I love and its citizens he had to be stopped.” Again not about if you agree with it but how it can be spun. The same way locking up “illegals” is framed as protecting hardworking Americans vs hating illegal immigrants. Anything can be spun for an agenda.

the guy you voted for said reaching out about this would be a “waste of time” because they’re too “whacked out” to understand (referring to the fact they are democrats). absolutely insane. our own president won’t even condemn these murders unless it benefits his side.
