Running errands this morning, I heard that a Texas man had been arrested for threatening to shoot up a Pride vent in retaliation for the shooting of Charlie Kirk.
Joshua Cole of Anson, Texas, allegedly commented on a Facebook post containing details of an upcoming gay pride event in nearby Abilene, "fk their parade" and said he wanted to "pay them back for taking out Charlie Kirk," according to an affidavit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas on Sept. 19 — nine days after the conservative activist was shot and killed in Utah.
I condemn political violence in the strongest possible terms. Full Stop. End Of Message.
Those people in the event did not deserve to be threatened, much less shot.
But, I wanted to post this, not so much that I condemn political violence (which I do), but to demonstrate to my friends on the left how easy it is to condemn political violence.
