So killing is not okay except when its internet-approved vigilantism?

Example: “Polititian commutes death sentences” Lemmy be like “good”, but then when “Politician condemns assassination” Lemmy have a problem with condeming political violence?

(Like Gavin Newsom commutes all death row immates in California vs when Democratic polititians condemned Luigi Mangione)

Or are these different groups of Lemmings?

    Well, the actual thing is, we didn’t have anything to do with that.

    I’m not glad that a person died. But the irony of his final words being about how gun violence is the necessary price of our society right before being shot in the neck is Chef’s Kiss.

      His last words were about dogwhistles.

      “How many mass shootings were comitted by trans people last year?”

      “Too many!”

      *conservative cheering*

      “How many mass shootings were there in general last year?”

      “counting or not counting ‘gang violence’?” (Read : Was it ethnic minorities?)

      *gets shot, conservatives run up to get bloodsoaked merch to sell later*

      I’d prefer no violence. Since that’s currently not an option, I prefer the violence be pointed at oppressors like Kirk. Nothing of value was lost.
