“You will never live in a society when you have an armed citizenry and you
won't have a single gun death. That is nonsense. It's drivel. But I... think it's
worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year
so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given
rights. That is a prudent deal. It is rational.”

Thoughts and prayers

I have limited sympathy for people who at best, are immoral grifters enriching themselves championing the suffering of others and at worst a white nationalist who radicalized young men to fascism.

Anyone who believes that violence of any kind is the solution to political turmoil has failed to learn a single damn lesson from the entirety of human history. Violence is never, ever the solution. It may sometimes be the last resort, but it should never be the solution.

I have to believe that anyone who's experiencing an iota of schadenfreude over this is not considering the ramifications moving forward. It's not just a matter of the fact that this was a young man with kids who just watched their dad die in front of them, this was an ally to a government that is looking for literally any excuse to target its perceived foes - and college campuses across the country are about to become a lot more dangerous for political dissidents.

Maybe. But you'd think that Trump's own near-assassination just over a year ago would have done that already.

No good will come of this.  Period.
