    I feel like that scene with the Joker explaining how people react to others getting shot. There were two school shootings that day and the children getting shot got basically no attention because it’s just part of the plan. Now I have people who complained endlessly about political correctness telling me I have to be politically correct.

      The slaughter of children has been culturally normalized, and I might feel a small amount of pity for Kirk had he not been actively contributing to that culture at the moment of his death.

        So…what you’re saying explains…that he was asking for it?

        Not that I disagree…in fact…I think there was a whole speel on the subr that even posted a picture of the Man in Black that was there…

          Kirk literally was asking for it. He said ‘sacrificing a certain number of people to gun violence was just the price of second amendment freedom’, and he did not say ‘people who are not me’.

      For some people, it’s not about what they believe or what’s right. It’s about avoiding accountability and winning, no matter what they said before or the cost.
