What the fuck is wrong with the people doing all the gloating?
A man was killed resisting arrest and you're all here cheering for it because he was previously imprisoned?
Yes they were insurrectionists. Prison time? Sure. Death for resisting arrest? Get a grip.
After a week of bad news after bad news where I am both fearful for my job and very right to exist in the country, quite frankly, I couldn't care less about your moral grandstanding. This guy tried to overthrow democracy for a man who is currently doing a speed-run of fascism.
He should still be rotting in prison, instead a criminal was released into the streets by the party of "law and order" for political reasons. And while I have no love lost for cops, this guy getting shot is anything but a tragedy.
Fuck him, fuck Trump, fuck republicans, and fuck anyone who has sympathy for these monsters. These people want me dead for trying to be comfortable in my own skin. I will wish the worst on every last one of them because I know what they want to do to me and I'm tired of people using kid gloves when talking about these people.
No. I'm cheering for it because he was a violent MAGA shithead. Fuck all of 'em.
Sometimes it's objectively a good thing when a bad person kicks the bucket.
But I agree on one point: ACAB
True, but nobody really knows anything about this man other than he was an insurrectionist. He was doing 6 months prison time.
That is some mother's son and she's probably still alive. That's awful.
"Fascist" is probably a more appropriate term.
Feel bad for his mom, not him
He was a horrible person. From a previous arrest:

He was a Terrorist. He more than earned the death sentence.
