An angry mob allegedly beat them. The police charged them. The municipality voted for one of the most severe anti-trans bathroom ordinances in the country.

    So now we have the original problem (in which no one was killed) and two or more people pointing guns at each other as well. Does that decrease or increase the chances of someone getting killed?

        Or someone else their gun out and just starts shooting because a gun was pointed at them. You can literally find road rage videos of that happening.

        People aren’t as uniform in behavior or as smart as you’re giving them credit for.

        But suddenly the rightwing don’t carrry guns and are full of self-control? All because a guy in the comments section knows he’d be a bad ass?

          Billy bob doesn’t like that you pointed a gun at his brother/cousin/sister/family/him. Slinks to the back of the crowd draws, bam bam bam.

          It takes seconds… But now people think it’s the solution to the original situation where no one died?

      No, we have a deceased bigot, and me on the phone to one of the lawyers in my family, or I’m dead and his ass is going away.

      Either way, the girl is ok.

      You make it sound like it would be a bad think if the perpetrators got shot and killed for their hate crime. They deserve no better than an untimely end to life.
