General on Yik Yak | To me, you can feel bad for his family and you can also say Kirk had it coming. We’d be no better than him to cheer for his death. Why should we stoop so low? But there’s one clear thing: we have a gun problem and it might get worse.

honestly we have more than a gun problem. you can take away the guns, but it still won't do anything to address the issues that have been driving people to these acts of mass violence.

Absolutely. We just have problems and there isn’t one thing we can blame. Actually well we can blame ourselves but also those who want us to blame each other

but honestly not even ourselves. when the government is set on eliminating the systems people use to survive, and billionaires keep getting richer while advocating for cutting peoples healthcare is it any wonder we're seeing such violent acts? MLK once said that riots are the voices of the voiceless and now adays when guns are so accessible and everything is platformed is it any wonder that that's the new modus operandi—as fucked up as it is—?

it's a sad state of affairs that people would rather blame brown and trans people for the impacts of policy that they have no say in over the policy itself that enables this heinous violence.

Look, Charlie was a massive racist ass hole. Wanna know why, as a liberal, I didn’t celebrate his death? Because in America, we can all say whatever the hell we want. Yeah he said a lot of dumb shit, but unfortunately, everyone in this country is giving free speech, not just liberals, and not just republicans. Basically, what goes around comes around.

Well, not unfortunately. It was unfortunate that he used his free speech to spew hate, but that’s on him.

the fact of the matter is his rhetoric has consequences. he doesn't exist in a vacuum and was pushing people towards hate of minorities—which has real world consequences on our lives. so forgive me if I'm not kind towards him as he was not towards us.
