RULES:


I am looking for mods!


1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.

2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)

3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.

4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.

5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.

6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

I'm not sorry. Seeing someone who spread so much hate and bigotry and weaponized disinformation get his clock cleaned was absolutely fine by me.

I have empathy for lots of people even if we don't always agree, but not for people like Charlie Kirk.

People need to stop celebrating the shooter! I'm absolutely disgusted and ashamed by their actions. Charlie Kirk was doing nothing but sitting there giving a speech. This was in the middle of the day, there were clear skys and the sun was shining directly on Charlie, as if he was chosen to deliver an important message. Than the shooter shot him. I'll say it as it is, nothing was between Charlie and the shooter that warranted this.

So how could the shooter miss the shot at Charlie Kirk's large ass head and hit him in neck instead! Embarrassing, do better on the next fascist.

Skulls are thick. A bullet hitting at an angle could potentially ricochet off.

Ain't nothing ricocheting off a neck.

Shooter knew exactly what he was doing.

He was doing a scientific experiment to see if his head was swollen with blood or gas

I hear reports that estimate the shot at 200 yards. Most rifle scopes come zeroed out at 100 yards out of the box. Maybe the scoped the head but the bullet landed low because the scope was set too close. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I think someone down voted you because they didn't read the second paragraph. Got you back to positive. 👍🏼
