Then logically one could infer that they would rather die than prevent the senseless violence.
EDIT: I’m not advocating for anyone’s death or praising what occurred. I just wanted to point to how moronic his stance was. Why would anyone say any death from gun violence is okay?
I’m guessing it’s more like they think it won’t happen to them. A lot right wingers are very shortsighted. They lack the imagination or empathy that if something happens to someone else, it can also happen to them.
We don’t know the politics of the shooter so far, but one thing the right seems to not understand is they have an absurdly low threshold for violence.
A right winger will assault if not kill someone for the most minor of “infractions” if they have a reason at all. Most of the time it’s just existing in a way they don’t like or “Walking while black”. They are bloodthirsty and just want to kill everyone who isn’t like them.
The left also has a threshold it’s just a lot higher. Some may even say too high, but the left doesn’t kill someone over the clothes they wear or even being directly insulted and threatened.
Most of the “violence” from the left is fucking property damage, but pushed far enough the left can and will defend themselves and their communities.
The key difference I’ve noticed between left wing vs right wing political discourse is that left wing politicians, pundits, and commentators very rarely rile up their base or audience with violent rhetoric, but right wingers do.

It would seem he put his beliefs to the test here and it looks awfully permanent too.
Give me liberty or give me death. Except some don’t want liberty either…
