I have yet to hear a single MAGA supporter say that this, or the shooting if Renee Good, was wrong. Not one..not publicly, and none of the MAGA people I know.
To me, it shows this - Dems are still capable of exercising independent thought and critical reasoning. Yes, they abhorred what Charlie Kirk stood for, but they also thought it was wrong to murder him. Both things could exist at the same time.
MAGA genuinely does not seem capable of that level of independent thought. It should not be hard for someone to watch these videos and say, "yes, this was messed up." It doesn't have to mean you don't support Trump. Just acknowledging that what happened in this instance was not ok. But they can't, no matter how plain the evidence. It's like their brains are literally not able to disagree with their leader. It's both sad and scary. And I genuinely don't know how we as a country recover and get back to normal function ever again.
Well, I voted for Trump twice. I didn't really vote for him as much as I voted against Clinton and Harris.
The Good shooting was a bad shooting. Didn't have to happen. He could have moved.
The Pretti shooting is bad because it was a mistake. I don't belive they wanted to shoot him. They were trying to subdue him, "Gun" was yelled and was present, Gray coat runs away with it and accidentally discharges it. That shot prompts the agents to open up.
All of it was wrong, but heres the thing. Good and Pretti were both absolute idiots inviting disaster. None of this would have happened if they didnt insert themselves.
This will continuwe to happen. There will be more. The choice is up to the protestors. ICE isnt going anywhere.
Who needs that pesty little thing called the first amendment. Who needs any of the amendments. Just throw the entire constitution out. People like you would rather be more like China and Iran where the citizens know that if they insert themselves in government business, they are liable to get six bullets in the back. How silly of the rest of us to want better than PP.
Is it six or ten? All this poster is saying is that your risk goes way up if you are at a protest to interfere with police, ICE, etc.

Like it did exactly here.
What the actual F?
Why would anyone carry a pistol any other way?
