    No no, Ben, god chose you, he’ll just gently blow any bullets out of the way, right? Because god exists? And prayer works? He created the universe and shit?

    I want to punch this weasel-faced rat just on principle, but especially because of his overt religiosity, and therefore dangerous insanity.

    Why isn’t religion a mental illness?

    I’ve thought about this a lot since Luigi. The power of these alt reality movements is derived from their mouthpieces. Without their army of apologists, every ridiculous lie sounds as stupid as it is and always was.

    Being a professional shill/propagandist for these people should be one of the most dangerous jobs in the world, and I’m surprised that’s not the case. So, smart move on Ben. He should hang up the towel, and find a real job.

    It proves that guns will make them shut up.

    Come on, exercise your free speech.

        They’ve been doing that for a while tho. If you’re a minority, even longer - possibly since the country was founded.

          That’s not the point I’m making. I’m saying that if it had happened to be a prominent liberal commentator at the other end of that bullet, other liberal commentators would cancel shows in fear of their safety. It’s not a good situation for anybody

        America’s unwillingness to give up guns has desensitized us to violence. Tit-for-tat political violence was the obvious outcome of that. Now even if the country implemented sensible gun policies, I think it’s too late. The violence will continue because we’re desensitized to it

        I don’t have a solution. We’ll likely live with gun violence as a daily occurrence for the rest of our lives. It’ll be a slow and painful recovery if there is one

    I hope this is the result, these radical righties fade into the shadows afraid for their lives.

    Edited to say; Same people expect our kids to show up in school after mass shootings. HYPOCRITES.

    Ben Shapiro killed Charlie Kirk. After all, Ben Shapiro was the rising star replacement for Rush Limbaugh until Charlie Kirk came along and passed him up, and became the big MAGA Media darling.

    Now Shapiro is back on top. He stands to benefit the most by Kirk’s death. Obviously, Shapiro did it.

    And here I was thinking that all you needed to stop a bad guy with a gun was a good guy with a gun.

    Guess Benny just doesn’t know any good people.

    I’m pretty sure trump doesn’t need another minor maga death so soon after kirk. After all whatever trump does in response will have to be done again later. So they are probably saving Shapiro for later.
