A grainy image of his face drew comparisons to Hollywood heartthrobs. A jacket similar to the one he’s wearing on wanted posters is reportedly flying off the shelves. And the words written on the bullets he used to kill a man in cold blood on a sidewalk on Wednesday have become, for some people, a rallying cry.

      Yeah theyre really crawling for appeal but that means they are afraid. I was really against violent actions like this but after seeing how effective it isni guess im also a radical leftist now instead of just a leftist. If they take the power away from thw people you have to take it back violently.

          Yup i get it now. But in the spirit of being democratic and stating close to ohr roots we should vote on who gets “handled” next.

            We already did.

            trump already tried to have Congress and his vp murdered last time. And now he has a scotus ruling that he is immune to everything. And we have a military that has already made it clear they will “just follow orders”.
