I hope you make a sincere attempt to understand why your comment is being downvoted so much and I truly hope you use this as an opportunity to grow as a compassionate human being
You’re being downvoted because you’re objectively wrong, factually and morally. The kid went out with the intention to kill someone, brought the tools to do it, and did it. It was absolutely premeditated. He killed people trying to disarm him. He did not act in self defense, he murdered 2 people in cold blood.
He was allowed to get away with it because the republican party and their allies want to encourage more vigilantes to be killing leftists and minorities.
I could be wrong as I’ve yet to read the Wikipedia article.
Who did he kill: a few guys who were guilty of nothing, but their blackness made them targets of a bigot; or were they engaged in criminal activity and then threatened him when he showed up. If it’s the former, then he’s a criminal who should be prosecuted. If it’s the latter, I feel a bit freer to indulge in moral relativism.

It is not possible for a conservative to experience compassion. Empathy is simply not a conservative trait.
I’m being downvoted because I’m taking a rightist position in a forum of leftists, some who are quite thoughtful, others aren’t and are reactive.

Rightist vs right.
That’s why.
Makes you think it might just be some objectively incorrect take huh?

I’d say the swathes of downvotes and removal of your comments by mods would make you go read about it before jumping to his defence.

I always downvote those who complain about downvotes.
