I feel like you have again captured my inner monologue and thoughts and encapsulated most of my feelings about Kirk getting shot today. I would add that the likes of Gavin Newsome and even J.B. Pritzker making comments as if they have no idea what a truly rotten person Charlie Kirk was makes me MORE concerned about how things will play out now. Stay safe Lady and keep doing the excellent work you do IMO.
I am so profoundly grateful for your voice in these turbulent times. I will continue to invite people to listen to what you have to say, and I hope you can find the strength and resolve to keep going. Thank you…
Lots of people are saying they feel sympathy for his family and kids. I feel a little empathy for his kids, but his wife and family knew EXACTLY who they were associating themselves with. To hell with them all. What a fitting end for the man whose rhetoric called for this exact thing to happen. I truly hope the shooter is never caught. Sometimes vigilante justice works out, and for a guy who repeatedly screamed "chink!" at an Asian woman who was getting his goat with her much better argument, his end was better than he deserved. I don't believe in heaven or hell, but if they exist, I sure hope Charlie is rotting in the steamy place. What a piece of absolute garbage. Great post as always, Laura; thank you.
I was just asking my husband if I’m a bad person for kinda hoping that the shooter doesn’t get caught. He said I probably am - a little bit. That’s fair, isn’t it? Because once those feelings and thoughts work their way into one’s psyche, it changes who you are. Hatred and resentment hurts everyone, but especially the one who feels it.
I was waiting for your post about this situation. As a journalist, I know you walk a hard road. But it's interesting that what you are saying here partially reflects what Matthew Dowd just got fired for saying over at MSNBC.
Well Trump and his bunch skipped the tea. Flags already at half mast. X is at warp speed hailing the martyr. I’m recovering from surgery in FL hospital unable to sleep and saw that Bruce Pearl Auburn coach who’s basketball team is largely men of color, posted praise and noted anyone who disagrees move to the front of the line. This appears to many online to be a professional hit and a win for the Trump agenda
Thank you for expressing what so many of us are feeling. Your words help us better understand where we are and how we got here. Please be well.

Powerful, relevant, beautiful writing about the horrendous point the leopard party has brought us to.

Beautifully written, thanks for this and for your good heart.
Thank you as always for your writing. I'm most concerned about the innocent people who are about to get beaten or killed in retaliation.

I think this type of violence has always existed. It just went to sleep for a little bit.
