The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

To the Idiot Who Killed Charlie Kirk

CHARLOTTE CLYMER
SEP 10

Against all odds, I hope you somehow come across this before they catch you, or I hope you’ll somehow read it before you take the coward’s way out by putting a gun in your own mouth.

I want you to know that there isn’t a rational adult in this country who thinks you’re a hero. There is no reasonable person who is thankful for your all-time act of self-important, destructive idiocy.

You have singlehandedly managed to make an increasingly unstable country that much more unstable, veering as we’ve been toward violent chaos, and the people who will suffer the most for it are those who were already fearing for our safety on a daily basis.

You have given some of the worst people in society the propaganda they desire to push their hateful agenda against the least protected among us.

I don’t care about your supposed reasons. Whatever your motivation happens to be, it’s definitely bullshit.

You don’t care about anyone but yourself.

If you did happen to care about this country and preserving our democracy and protecting the most marginalized, you’d have taken enough time to reflect on how this will only lead toward more violence and instability.

With a modicum of common sense, you’d have reached the obvious conclusion that political violence solves nothing. It is always immoral. It always self-serving.

It only leads to further violence and ultimately enables scapegoating of vulnerable communities. Committing acts of violence against those who disagree with us helps no one.

Your narcissism is now a national cancer that will likely metastasize, and the rest of us will have the responsibility for doing everything we can to stop its spread.

Your sociopathic fuck-up is now everyone else’s problem.

While law enforcement is busy looking for your moronic ass, we’re going to be flooded with the most asinine commentary blaming everyone else for your stupidity.

Trans people, Muslims, etc. Take your pick. We’re all being forced into this cycle of blame by shameless propagandists because of your selfish bullshit.

You have helped no one in doing this. We are all now less safe because of you.

I’m not supposed to root for anyone’s suffering, but I’ll make an exception in this case.

I really do hope you suffer for all the pain you’re about to cause so many innocent people who didn’t get a say before you decided to pull that trigger.

Fuck you.
