It's disgusting how many people are defending/justifying the shooter. On a tweet about the guy who attacked the shooter with a skateboard to prevent him from killing more the replies are crawling with shit like "play stupid games win stupid prizes" and "the kid was just defending himself!". Holy shit the black pill is real, tell me that you can read this shit without feeling the urge to line these scumbags up and wall them.

    The thing that blows my mind is the fact that there's literally no redeeming factor in the 17 y/o case. Like he illegally had a gun, drove across state lines looking for trouble, killed 2 people and then fled from the police.

    He wasn't "defending" himself, his property, he willingly inserted himself into that situation looking for it to go badly.

    The people arguing on his behalf are the same people who screech about protesters supposedly being bussed in from out of state to case trouble and then when SOMEONE FROM OUT OF STATE COMES TO CAUSE TROUBLE, they say he was in the right.

          depends on the theme, if they are on a wierd theme (not officially supported) then it may not have changed icons. In vanilla lemmy bolts represent the overall hexes (upvotes) a person got minus the downvotes.

            ah the app is using a universial ui so it looks the same throughout, meaning it uses the default icons from lemmy that chapos changed when making this site.
