Lock HIM up. (After a trial, of course. And I refer to the accused shooter, not Agolf Twitler. There is no hope for the latter.)
I want to see everyone on Gab who participated in discussion with this murderous asswipe at the very least investigated. They knew he had guns, they knew he was intending to kill people. The quotes that have come out strongly suggest an ongoing conversation about killing Jews. Which is to say a criminal conspiracy.
Agreed, there’s probably nothing that can help Agolf Twitler. But he needs to be tried and imprisoned for our safety.
Our elections are beginning to sound like Afghanistan or Iran- bombings and shootings and keeping people from voting.
Amerika! Fuck Yeah!
