i've seen headline saying he "died a hero" disgost

he was a retired hog that got clapped at a trump rally, lmfao.

[โ€“] the_itsb@hexbear.net 72 points 4 months ago

I heard on an ABC (American) newscast today that he shielded his wife and kids with his body, which is why they're calling him a hero, but everyone qualified that statement with "his wife claims that he..." soooooooo ๐Ÿคท

I just found it interesting that they weren't reporting it as fact but as hearsay when it should be super easy to figure out, there were a ton of cameras

innocent bystander

the only innocent bystanders at a trump rally are the people there against their will

This reactionary shitstain getting iced by some rifle-toting kid from his own side of the political spectrum is the most poetic justice shit I've seen in years. I'm genuinely happy for his death. The world is a slightly better place with people like this in the ground.

[โ€“] VILenin@hexbear.net 31 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Itโ€™s even funnier that he died because his God Emperor turned his head at the last second, passing the โ€œbuckโ€ onto him. Died because the big wet boy lived. lmao.

[โ€“] mar_k@hexbear.net 15 points 4 months ago

he's at a trump rally like 98% of them would agree with him or have posts like that themselves

If Dems refuse to be contrite about any of this, and firmly deny all responsibility for the shooting and pin the incident on the Republican intraparty strife, while also just dredging these tweets up for this guy, the whole incident will blow over as a point of relevance by the general. Why? Because the conservative outrage machine only advances when it successfully gets Democrats to express remorse for or condemn a person they wave in the Dems' faces.

If the Dems and leftists firmly say "I don't give a shit, none of this involves any of us and we let you get away with spewing far more violent rhetoric," at every turn, the chuds movement does not progress the same because they have no scalps to collect and show as a mark of progress. When someone like Jack Posobiec screenshots or quote tweets stuff and goes "can you believe this person?!?" and invite brigades toward some liberal politician or journalist, they only feel accomplished once the target has backed down, deleted their account, or apologized. If none of that happens and the attacked person is steadfast, the burning rage has nowhere to go and moves on to other targets or dies.

It is insane Dems have never learned this after years of it being done to their faces by Republicans, even for things like the Pelosi hammer attack that Republicans are actually responsible FOR. The initial chud reaction to a Dem doubling down might be to make threats or try doxxing, but if you're brave enough to face it you are by that point basically taking the bumblebees stinger and dooming it to death soon after.

Dems certainly wonโ€™t and I feel like this has to be leftistsโ€™ chance to indict them to death. How useless can you be possibly be?

Yep, we should correct anyone who adds a bunch of mealy mouthed qualifiers out of a sense of obligation

Comrade Trump strategically deflected the bullet by some millimeters so it hits this chud.

get a load of this

You're right, it's always important to see the positive side of this.

The one time I wish I had a Twitter account to read the new replies to these

This chud's family will literally benefit more from the loads of donations they're bound to receive this year alone then they ever would have if this hog never took a bullet.

The one net positive from the shooting attempt, really.
