He had it coming…
And now, a brief time-out for a message to people all over the world.
Please stop advocating violence.
Whether you are a liberal or a conservative, or whatever political, religious, genial, cultural or personal colors with which you wish to paint yourself as, there is absolutely no sense in killing anyone.
All it really does is greatly impact the lives of those around the victims. It doesn’t end the memory or, sadly, the ideals.
Killing has always been, usually, in the name of wars – not just full-scale battles in other nations, but also wars between individuals, such as gangland hits, contracts, insurance schemes, infidelity, revenge, and so on.
It’s funny, in every war that’s ever been fought, no one is ever accused of murder – yet we gladly run around in our nation, and in so many others, and gleefully commit murder like we’re in our own little wars – and actually believe we won’t get caught. In Tulsa, Oklahoma, for example, the homicide solve rate there is upwards of 95%. And as more techniques are introduced and new technology is created, it’s going to become even harder to kill anyone.
But there’s still that 5%, isn’t it? The cold cases, the murders that don’t get solved. So, for that 5%, seems like people still like to take the chance.
Let’s stick with that 5% because I think I’d like to make a fair estimate here. Of the enormous amount of people calling for violence online, at home, during drunk-chat in a dimly-lit bar, only 5% of these people will actually do it – leaving 95% of us to stop them from doing it.
Of the hundreds of thousands of MAGA followers nationwide, the ones truly firmly planted in “cult status”, only 5% are really ready to get a gun and do something – and again, there’s 95% of the followers who would likely stop them.
I believe there’s only 5% of the millions advocating violence against people like LGBTQ+, or non-Christians, or Democrats in general that are ready to do something drastic, as we have seen in department stores in Allen, Texas, or a synagogue in Pittsburgh.
Approximately 77.5 million people in the United States own one gun, the relatively most common method for killing. (*sighs* Wish we could go back to crossbows, that was at least more challenging) Of all of those people, I truly believe only about 5% of them would gladly use it nefariously. I really do believe that deep down, in our hearts and minds, 95% of us are still good – not just here but across the planet.
So please, I ask everyone, stop calling for violence of any sort, on anyone. If we honestly need to fight a war however, to justify said violence, perhaps it might be a wonderful idea if the 95% of the world took immediate action and waged all-out war against the 5%.
I love our odds…don’t you?
With love,

Re your message.
While I’m generally in agreement wth your sentiments, the reference to crossbows is unfortunately ill-timed, as a mother and two daughters died in a crossbow attack in Britain only last week. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/ckrg38vpzkxo
Leaving that aside, however, I don’t think there’s anyone living outside the USA, and I’m sure there are a great many inside, who are appalled at the level of gun ownership in the States. The Second Amendment is always taken out of context by gun lovers, and every time there’s a shooting incident there are calls for change that we know won’t be followed through.
I’d like to hope your figures are overestimated. 5% of 77.5 million is still almost 3.9 million, which is concerning.
In spite of everything, there are still a vast number of people on your side of the (ahem) pond who genuinely believe in the American dream of true liberty and democracy. Believe me when I say now, of all times in history, we’re all rooting for them to succeed.
I was of course referring to the Dark Ages with my crossbow comment, and certainly wasn’t trying to refer to the UK attack in any way. This was actually the first I had heard of it.
^aren’t appalled
Try your speech in Ukraine, on Russians. Or wait, rather not, it would mean no more comics from you.
There definitely IS place for violence if it’s self-defense or defense of the group of people you belong to. Is nice to dream about how if noone would use violence, there would be no need to use violence to defend from it, but that’s just dream.
Also, 95% world-wide? Sweet summer child.
Well, you’re not going to prove I’m wrong. *^^*
And I cannot possibly prove I’m right.
Perhaps you’re just the glass-half-empty type of character.
