My View on Charlie....
a week ago
***** PLEASE, PLEASE GO CHECK MY SCRAPS! *****
It is for all my WORKS IN PROGRESS, GIFTS, and stuff I am just banging off as practice, as well as photos, and art from others.
==============================================
~ BEGIN ~ I absolutely do not agree with his stupid little spiels... the bulks of what he had to say was crap anyways. Hell, he was made fun of on South Park, so that should be a clue on how seriously we should have taken the guy.
HAVING SAID THAT...
One should not go around shooting people you disagree with. That is absolutely wrong! I might not agree with it, but he had the right to say it.. that is what freedom of speech means. It is the same thing that lets us post our furry porn, or wave our gay pride flags, or tell someone like him to STFU. When we lower ourselves to the point where we have to murder one another, than society has failed.
And now there is a family with out a dad, and a TG person with out a boyfriend, who is probably going to spend the rest of his life in jail.
I can understand the feeling. There have been quiet a few around here I would have liked to give a good solid smack to and tell SMARTEN UP. Going around killing people over something said, for having a differing view, no matter how hated is wrong.
I am an old school lefty, and I have watched from my little hovel up in Canada, and I often am fearful for just how nuts it is down there. Many of you, some of you I consider dear friends, live in a mad house, it seems. Don't give in the the madness please. We can weather this storm of stupid, we can get past it, and show how standing tall and keeping to love and respect for all others, even those we sometime dislike, is the right path to take.
You are all loved and cherished, so keep your heads up, keep your spirits lifted, and we will all get through this together.

He said "a few gun deaths are the price of keeping the second amendment." He said he didn't believe in empathy. I won't say "he got what he deserved," but I will say that he got what he advocated for. His death was the logical end result of his own political views.
He was abrasive and not easy to get along with. He didn't approve of the LGBT due to his religion but he didn't advocate throwing people off roofs either.
I'm just hoping that his murder hasn't set a precedence for what could happen to anyone on the left or right that chooses to speak out.
He would set up his microphone and invite anyone who wanted to discuss things to do so.
I don't think he ever thought for one minute that he would be one of the victims of the very thing he so passionately defended. I think there is something poetic In all this
