Too many people pearl clutching today over worries of retributive violence, as if the fascists aren't already going to be committing that violence on us in the near future regardless. It's not too early to say that this scumbag deserved much worse and I'm glad he got rocked so publicly. Mods I'll understand if you delete this and I'm truly sorry for the trouble if you do, I just need a personal break today from the media cacophony of liberals collectively reconciling with the realization that we live in an abnormally and horrifically violent society.

Oh no, anyway

Liberals claim the shot to my neck was impressive, yet my face was a much smaller target.

Curious.

It’s ironic to mention retributive violence while advocating against people’s rights to be armed to defend themselves.

Nobody is advocating for murder or murderers. While I dislike reddit, /r/DGU is typically very illustrative as to why it’s so important.

I hope - sincerely - to never need to defend myself or my family.

That doesn’t mean you get to disarm me so that some murderers can ignore the law and kill people anyway.

Murder is strictly the illegal killing of someone.

If it is legal to target a minority group it may be illegal for that minority group to resist.

You can end up with a situation where Alice killing Bob is legal and not murder, but Bob killing Alice in self defence is murder.

In such cases the morality of Bob engaging in self defense is not so easily encompassed in "murder is wrong."

So from a historical context:

A Nazi killing a Jew during WWII was not murder but a Jew killing a Nazi was.

A modern perspective:

A Israeli killing Palestinians is not murder, but a Palestinians killing Isrealis is.

I'm a pro-2A gun owner, I suspect you may not be reading the meme the way I intended / expected.

Hard to argue with logic like that.

I'm still not totally convinced he was right though, need more data.

Sometimes the Universe just gets it 100% right, today is one of those days.

He has a point.
