Am I crazy for not wanting anyone to get shot? I know how crazy our politics are getting, and I’m afraid of the future, but we shouldn’t be wanting anyone to be shot at. Life is life, even if it’s attached to the absolute worst person on Earth. Sure, lock up people who are a danger to society, but let’s not celebrate gun violence.
Trump is responsible for locking people in cages and having them die in there. And after being notified he doubled down on it. And many other acts that have led to people’s deaths.
Why are murderers above being murdered?
If you want to talk about justice you need to maintain superior standards and morals.
Your argument is no better than the “Saudi Arabia doesn’t allow the building of churches, so why do we allow the building of mosques?” The answer is that we’re better than fucking Saudi Arabia.
Eye for an eye types of justice quickly become escalated and end up in a race to the bottom.
Killing Nazis IS superior standards and morals. What, you gonna tell me liberating Auschwitz was wrong because the Allies used violence? You gonna say it makes them no better than the Nazis to solve problems with guns?
I don’t think an assassination attempt on Trump is equal to ending fascism in WWII, although I understand why it is tempting to draw a comparison.
If you want to try normalising and rationalising assassination attempts on world leaders, then don’t act surprised when someone comes for the one you support.
No matter how much you hate Trump, this act should absolutely be condemned.
