EC said "people". She didn't say "Democrats". Did you intend this to support or contradict her post?

In 2025 the BBC reported, "In the wake of the attacks [which killed Minnesota politician Melissa Hartmann and her husband], several of Trump's top supporters and allies - including Utah Senator Mike Lee, Elon Musk, conspiracy theorist Laura Loomer and activist Charlie Kirk - attempted without evidence to link Walz and Democratic lawmakers to the killings. Lee wrote: "This is what happens When Marxists don't get their way" while Musk reposted a message including a line about the attacks with the comment "The far left is murderously violent"."
We still see stuff on FacePalm about the strange behaviour of the bullet. A .30-06 at ca. 150 meters
stopping inside the guest of honor's neck? Whether full-patch or Silvertip or whatever?
Maybe that old Mauser 98 still had an 8 mm barrel and some yobber just reamed an 06 chamber
into it and figgered that'd do? That might make a bullet keyhole and flobber an eccentric track, after losing velocity (a lot, I'm bound to say) and accuracy. I mention accuracy because unless Mr. Shooter had the buck --
as he might, so might any of us -- you'd think he could hit a less chancy target than the neck.
ETA: I've only once seen a high power rifle bullet keyhole, and at 100 yards it still hit the x ring.
How big is the x ring on the old NRA targets we used at the turkey shoots? 3/4 of an inch.

Here's an analysis of the question of the bullet not passing through.
Starts with a comparison to the Martin Luther King Jr. assassination, where a .30-06 bullet also didn't exit. Also talks about hunting shots vs. this shot, and factors like differences in bone density (ribs vs spine, etc) that can make a difference. His basic conclusion: the bullet not passing through is very plausible.

Da Cat doesn't include Democrats as people? Harsh.
No, I'd say at least wait for his kids to reach adulthood, late teens at the earliest. Granted, it only matters if they might hear you so, in your social circles, its probably fine.

Not sure how the poor behavior of others justifies my own bad behavior.

That is the stupidest possible interpretation of my post that you could come up with. Congratulations.
Democrats AND Republicans are people.

I mean, if they can deal with "The immigrants are eating the pets", you'd think they'd be a fun loving, roll with the punches kinda group?

Do you imagine I would approve? Or is your only means of interaction a combination of “republicans are bad too” and “orange man bad”?

you clearly didn't feel the need to voice your disapproval for what happened and then said about an old man who tired to stay private, but did need to act all outraged about comment on a very public figure who's entire stick was to draw attention and criticism.
It's clearly not about decorum, only ideology - don't pretend otherwise.
A horrible person was killed by gin violence - something he had worked to preserve.
He had demonstrated a complete lack of empathy for the victims of school shootings. In fact he despised the concept of empathy, saying it was a made up term.
He had joked about life changing violence and supported the hammer attack on the spouse of a politician he disagreed with.
Of course people are going to point this out, and honour his edgelord persona by joking about the irony of his being killed by the very thing he loved.
I can only assume it's what he would have wanted.
