Does anyone remember the name Heather Heyer, she woke up one morning went to counter protest a bunch of Nazis and was killed. There was outrage here.
Yesterday, three people went to a political rally, one of them was shot to death and the other two were shot. There were jokes here, there was bullshit theory based on nothing here.
Political violence is never right, full stop. We are supposed to be an evolved democracy showing others how to grow into their democracies. We are failing.

This group has been very important to me for a long time, over 20 year, it helped me heal after 1/6, gave me a place to vent, to learn, to keep up with current events and fast moving stories.
The last 15 hours, we have failed. We have to get better. In the aftermath of 1/6, I wished I’ll on a lot of people. I still hope they are brought to Justice and sometimes was a little enthusiastic when they were brought to Justice.
Yesterday, someone tried to assassinate a former President of the United States, in the process one bystander was killed and we are making jokes, coming up with nonsense theories based on nothing. People, we must be better than this.
I am not saying people should not be talking about this but they should be factual, they should be compassionate, they should understand the gravity of the situation.
