    Absolutely criminal that anyone in any country should have to pay for prescribed medicine, particularly chronic psychiatric stuff like bipolar disorder.

    Edit: What the fuck happened I was out of the house for literally an hour, how did this anger someone enough to create an alt account for a trolling spree.

          You just know this idiot made this account so they could come here, troll and get a ton of vitriol, then go back to lemmy and post about all the mean hexbearinos. Real reddit-logo brain in action.

          Omitting, of course, how they came in here with the attitude of 'this mentally unwell individual deserved to be shot to death', wholly ignoring that in a country where medical care is privatized and hideously expensive, people aren't going to be able to afford treatment for it and we have situations like this occur.

          ed: I just realized lmao, did they name their account as such because they think we love Trump?

            I'm not even sure mental illness had anything to do with it.

            If any typical American had just gotten away from an active shooter situation, and someone on a bus pulled a gun on them, it's not unlikely that they'd try to wrest the gun away and shoot the gunman. And having just shot someone on a bus, wanting to steer the bus to somewhere preferred is not an insane response.

            Libs are so stupid. Absolutely mainlining their own talking points. I often think damn we're pretty harsh on libs, then I peek into lib spaces and its even worse than the caricature than we paint them as.

            It gives me great relief that we are far better at "knowing your enemy" than libs or chuds. Only non-commies who understand us at all are either feds and a very small subset of fascists.

        Maybe if they didn't have to pay for meds, they would be receiving treatment AND wouldn't be hijacking busses?

        But way to make it about 'terrorist hijackings', you idiot reactionaries love treating symptoms and not the underlying causes.

          It's the conservative way. Everything bad is an individual fault. Capitalism is perfect and might makes right. There are "good" people and "bad" people and nothing will change that.

    if some ass pulls a piece on you and you take it from them and plug them, that seems like some kind of self-defense or other mitigation to me.

    they should charge the guy who pulled the gun with brandishing, assault by pointing, reckless endangerment, and illegal distribution of a firearm to a felon. unless he's dead, then in which case: rip bozo.

        Maybe don't pull a gun on a person when you're in a crowded bus and then get shot to death by your own gun? Seems like a skill issue.

            Ah yes, when everybody is amped up and somebody wants to play "hero", everybody is thinking completely clearly.

            Dude would still have been alive and the bus wouldn't have been hijacked if he just kept his firearm in his pants and sat the fuck down.

        maybe the hijacked bus was full of people like you heading to a bozo convention, and he was trying to do us all a huge favor. maybe we should wait until all the relevant facts are revealed before we crucify a man who could literally be the reincarnation of jesus christ.

      They’re already charging the guy with murder after refusing to negotiate and going on a pig joyride causing the other dude to bleed out (he got shot in the leg, which is usually not instantly fatal).

      And the cherry on top - you know who’s doing the charging? DA Fani Willis. That’s right, the prosecutor in the Georgia Trump case that liberals worship as a god.

      Though apparently she can’t actually be the prosecutor on the trial since one of her underlings was a passenger on the bus.

          She can charge Trump and others of his status all day for all I care

          The problem with her, and it's not just her, but nice try there, and prosecutors like her is their zealous pursuit of minorities, mostly black and brown men, for "bullshit" or petty crimes setting them up for less meaningful lives where their families suffer for their absence, their communities suffer, and of course the individuals suffer. These prosecutors, these administrators of the "justice" system in America, are the most forward facing displays of evil.

          So, in summary, you seem to support destroying minority communities even further. Ironic to bring up "sucking off Trump" or whatever when you support his literal fucking policies of "tough on crime" aka "liquidate young black men, bulldoze black communities, put them in prison or shoot them." Typical liberal.

        Are you ok?

        Literally nothing I typed could EVER be construed by anyone with a functioning brain as "antisemitic."

        On the contrary, ironically, one would have to hold the antisemitic viewpoint that the mere mention of Israeli is equivalent to saying "Jews" or Jewish people.

        So, in that way, you are correct but only because you fulfilled the prophecy that you foretold...

          This one was some freak that just immediately went off about how we must condone 'domestic terrorism' because we thought the guy who pulled the gun originally was an idiot and that the bipolar person should not also die
