    I despise racists and bigots. His hateful speech may have very come back on him, but I don't wish for violence and I don't applaud it. You can be against the things he says and be against someone shooting him.

    Do we know for sure that person was arrested or was it just a picture posted on twitter?

    Well he has. He has said straight out the left is the enemy within. A lot of his supporters have unfortunately bought into that. I'm not saying everyone on the right has.

    Remember, people were glad the democratic representives in Minnesota were gunned down, so this is literally a both sides thing.

    It shouldn't happen on EITHER side.

    Hopefully this shit can stop. While I will ALWAYS hate racists and bigots, and I said this dude should die, this shit shouldn't be happening. A consequence of his words and actions, yes... but some day can we just get past all this?

    I agree. I reacted very harshly, and can still see both sides. Just incredibly frustrated with the world we live in.

    Even if there were some people glad about that, it doesn't mean you need to be glad about this. Makes you as low as the people who thought that.

    Hopefully, it does stop. I don't know that it will though. The country is very divided right now.

    Looks like all the local news outlets have removed "shooter in custody" from their headlines.

    I already took back my wish of death on him, cause that was unacceptable. But I still stand by its a consequences of his actions, even if i dont want political violence on either side.

    Imagine being a Kirk supporter and then being misidentified as his assassin.

    Unfortunately, it probably was someone in the left.
