I won’t ever be one to mourn the death of an active fascist and nazi. His political leanings and actions contribute to so much harm. But I do understand the gravity and consequences of this event. We’re essentially watching a timeline of events that I don’t think we can depart from. And rightfully it should turn our stomachs. But a man who said that a certain number of gun deaths are to be assumed and absorbed in order for business to continue as usual—in his words—to protect the 2nd amendment, this is a logical and fitting death for this man.
I’m not sad for his passing. I’m sad for the magnitude of violence we are not prepared to face as a nation. And I’m scared for all of us.
