It is terrible because in the US we do not celebrate the death of a political opponent. At least decent folks don’t.
So far story doesn’t stem from a political motive...more like a psychotic episode from economic desperation of a job loss gone homicidal. No loss of a job EVER justifies murder.
That’s correct. Decent folks don’t. “ANY man’s death diminishes me...”
Honestly, when I’ve read some of the comments on a couple of these threads this afternoon.... I feel ashamed for those posters. I really don’t think they HEAR themselves...how unkind they sound. I do not want to be... I CHOOSE not to be.... like those folks I see quoted in the DUmmie FUnnies each day. I want my conduct to set me apart from people like that... Then again, we are all free to make fools of ourselves.....
Mr Gwatney didn’t deserve to be gunned down in this fashion....
Prayers for his friends and family. They will need them as they try to come to grips with the tragedy foisted upon them.

There was a good deal of cheering on VE and VJ day.
The Founders also celebrated after driving the British out of America, killing a good number of political opponents called Tories and their supporters.
I know nothing about this man and will say nothing one way or the other, but your blanket statement that we don’t celebrate the death of a political opponent is wrong.
Had you limited your regret to this one man, I would have agreed.
Who was celebrating his death? I asked her why it was bad for America.
