    i wonder if he survived, would he have changed his position on guns?

    if the shooting left him in pain for life, would he still be pushing 2A as hard…

    I believe the actual Oscar Wilde quote is:

    “Some cause happiness wherever they go; others whenever they go.”

      For people who haven’t read Oscar Wilde, if you like witty dialogue in your stories, Wilde is top tier, and I think that’s underselling him.

    I may not celebrate deaths, but I do watch some obituaries with glee.

    This is definitely one of them. Real “reap what you sow” vibes.

      Every bit helps, and everyone knows these racist, mentally unwell and hellbound assholes are cowards, so it might be enough to dissuade potential Kirks. Having said that, seeing all these English flags over here (very loud dog whistles for racism) makes me feel like nothing will change in the West (or at least in the Anglo-Saxon/Germanic West) in the short term. 😭
