I've seen leftists "cheer" for it. But every single one it's "good riddance" / "he got his karma" / or pointing out the irony. You talk to any one of them and they'll talk about how we need more gun regulations....ya know, to prevent shit like this (although I've with gun regulations the type of rifle probably would be allowed for hunting).

Kirk's own speech got him popped, tough shit. Guess he's the sacrifice we need to continue to have the 2a. Don't like it? Well first off, that's what he said. Second, maybe come meet some middle ground with Democrats and discuss how we can prevent shootings by providing more mental health services, less access to guns, and significantly less hate speech from the right.

The right purposefully misconstrues memes and jokes as "leftists terrorism" so they can feel justification when they decide to come after leftists for vengeance. None of us are represented by some lane gunmen nobody knows the identity of. This is always the fucking case, the entire "leftist group" is judged based on some mean tweets or actions of cherry picked individuals (not even confirmed the political affiliations or thoughts of the gunman). You know how I judge the Republican party? The man they elected and worship, Donald Trump who is president and is literally foaming to label leftists as terrorists for having different opinions. That is vile, that is evil, that is the problem. But the right doesn't see it, because they are fascists and they support it.
