All the posts and statements going on with lines like "this woman is dead b/c if trump" or describing the incident as tragic are wild.

Maybe someone here can talk me off this point.

I get that a family lost a loved one but I just don't care?

Why should I feel sympathy for a QAnon freak who would kill me?

      Yeah this is pretty much how I feel. I don't feel sympathetic for her, I don't think it was necessary to kill her. Libs are not going to make a distinction between rioting chud "anarchists" and leftists. I don't feel comfortable supporting the state murdering someone in a situation that, in my view, was not necessary, regardless of whether or not she would've killed me if she had the chance. That's not a precedent I want to set.

      I have mixed feelings about it. In an abstract way, cop on cop violence is funny and I'm not gonna weep that a fascist died but also, watching someone die wasn't fun and ACAB even if their victim is a fascist.

          I had no idea that triple quoting things was a dog whistle. I know triple parenthesis is but I've honestly never heard the triple quote thing. Regardless, my bad, I'll edit. Did not mean to use fash rhetoric.

        watching someone die wasn’t fun

        I think this is something we all have to desensitize ourselves to, for when the revolution comes.

          I've been exposed to a lot of death and it's not something that'll ever not bother me tbh. It's hard to watch the life leave someone's eyes and not feel something, and I don't know that I want to be so desensitized that I can't even have even the most basic emotional response to it. I get that death is something we all have to confront but that doesn't mean I can't feel some level of sadness when I see someone die. I don't think you need to be a pacifist to think death is sad, ya know?
