    Disagree on the two people needing help. The shooter doesn’t deserve help and obviously was a bigoted racist. Joss definitely needed help, but the shooter? Fuck 'em.

    If my neighbor, who is a crazy abusive asshole, was doing everything you described i wouldn’t shoot them. Who the fuck shoots people for being crazy?

      Who the fuck shoots people for being crazy.

      Crazy people.

      Which is why they need help.

      Jesus fucking christ. Why do I need to spell this out? It isn’t normal to go off and shoot someone just like it isn’t normal to parade around in your lawn with a crossbow. Both people needed help. That is literally all I said and somehow you managed to some how get upset and offended over me saying “Hey, maybe people who go off and shoot people should get help before they do that.”

      What the sweet and sour fuck kind of reaction is that?

        I like your way with words. I still completely disagree with having sympathy for the shooter. Its not just your comment that’s driving my feelings and I haven’t bought into the “he was a harmless gay guy” narrative either. In general I have very little sympathy for people who choose to shoot someone for a disagreement.

        I may put people into different groups than most. I’ve encountered too many crazy people over the years I think. Most of them are so much more evil than most people would like to believe. Its fine to think most people are inherently good. Because it’s probably true. The real issue is the percent of people who just suck, and dont deserve help, beyond being walked into their own grave.
