In light of the top post by "dang", I'd like to apologize for my own comments. Forgive me brothers and sisters, I was obviously on edge.

In particular I'd like to apologize to one individual whom I insinuated was posting rage-bait.

To close, this is a tragic time in America. Each act of violence is one act too many.

I'm glad to see people following their instinct to de-escalate. Kudos.

Good on you for owning that.

Well, of course not. We agree that some types of violence are okay, like police or military using violence for police and military things. I'm sure he wouldn't have posted that if people were cheering that a serial rapist has been shot by the police.

I don't know the victim, but I believe there is a huge difference. Bin Laden did engage in war against the US.

Even then celebrations of death might not be fitting, but perhaps the excuse here is still on another level.

I don't think dang was a moderator at that time

Do you think it should have been said then or do you think it shouldn't be said now?

Do you think it matters that Charlie kirk did a lot of mean talking and bin ladin directed a lot of violence?

For my bit, I really appreciated dang's top post. I don't agree that there are no differences between a terrorist leader and a right wing troll, but I do think that anger makes us collectively less and we could all benefit from an extra moment before scribbling an idea onto the internet.
