    He sent this tweet two hours after the incident. No one knew at the time what were the motivations behind it. All they knew at the time was that CEO of subsidary headquartered in Minnesota was shot (by accident or otherwise) and that was it. We later learned the rest.

    What were the gun related deaths that weren’t tweeted about?

    By all means I don’t feel sorry for this guy, I agree with the sentiment, but I don’t want politicians to be the ones asking to murder someone. I want them to regulate, so killing people this way is not possible.

        Ok so 124 victims of gun violence in Minnesota in 2023 without any context. It could be gang violence, shot by police, suicide etc. When you say somebody didn’t comment about someone else’s death you would know the victim name and some background story what happened.

          Why are any one of those lives less important?

          Me not knowing specifics of a single other homicide out of those hundreds is proving my point.

          Why would I know details about specific homicides on the opposite side of the country to me? The news didn’t have it on the front page. Major politicians didn’t tweet about them. The only reason I know about this one is because the news isn’t treating this one the same as the rest and every national us news site has it plastered on the front page.

          I want to know about this one equally as much as others like it that happened to less rich ppl.

          Wait, SO you are both defending Wallz for sending a condolences tweet for a dead evil CEO because there wasn’t any context to the killing yet, and defending him for not tweeting about the other 124 victims in his state because there wasn’t enough context. Kinda sounds like you are just defending Wallz because you like him.

      I don’t want them to ask ppl to murder others either. I want them to treat the deaths of people the same regardless of how much money the victim has.
