    While I don’t celebrate the man’s death, I am thankful that the FBI acted to stop him before he hurt anyone else.

    I fully believe in free speech and open political discourse, but deadly threats of violence need to be taken seriously and acted upon quickly.

    If you threaten to kill someone, you’re denying their right to free speech. There’s no free speech when you’re dead. It’s my belief that a person should not be protected under the same rights that they deny to others.

      Me too, but it sounds like a pipe dream at this point. 😢

        It’s not. Remember that’s what all oppressors want you to think. All that evil requires to exist is for good people to do nothing, which is why those who would do evil do all they can to convince you that your efforts against them mean naught.
