    “I would like to live in an America where it’s un-American and unprecedented to celebrate the killing of someone from a reviled group. But that’s some other America, not mine. It sounds like a nice place to visit.”

    This is equating CEOs with groups that face discrimination like POC or trans people. They aren’t, fuck em

      Everybody is someone’s target.

      There’s a whole grouping of people who think that killing illegal immigrant criminals is every bit as justified as you think killing this guy was.

      I’m not saying you’re wrong, and I’m definitely not saying they are right. I’m just saying, be regretful, a little bit, when you wish for killing to be the solution. You might not be able to control who picks up on that same messaging and starts to run with it.

        I’ll be regretful of for the deaths of people that haven’t profited off the pain and death of others. There aint a CEO on the planet who’s death I give a single shit about.

        Yeah, OK, I regret that it’s come to this, but what a weird and wrong take from Popehat. Like being scolded by the Church Lady.
