It's all a matter of perspective.
For example: it's unfortunate the black kid was shot, but thank goodness the white cop survived.

It was unfortunate that so many lost their lives during world war II, but it was fortunate that the world was saved from Adolf Hitler.
Can't wait for the 'proof that god is on his side' comments.
For clarity 'his' refers to Trump, not the dead shooter or audience member. For the two critically wounded,..................... thoughts and prayers should do, right?
I don't have an anger problem, I have an idiot problem.
I did clearly state that that was the unfortunate part.

What's sad is that your boy Trump sees them as "losers" and "suckers", but his fanbois like you think this might elevate him to hero-status. Full disclosure: my gramps died a navigator on a B-17 over NW Europe sometime in the fall of 1943. I think your definition of "hero" and mine, as a result, have some glaring differences.

Maybe I should have said hero in quotation marks. The thing is not everybody sees it the same way as you. I don't think it makes him a real hero, but many will.

It's not like undecideds will read about this and say, "Oh, my gosh, the poor fellow. He must be doing something right, I will therefore vote for him." No, this will harden lines, not loosen them. Me, I don't care what you Trumpeteers think, you've already demonstrated your inability to do so by following him so blindly.  RE: Trump Assassination Attempt

I am going to treat Trump "assassination" attempt with the same respect as Trump and MAGA treated Paul Pelosi assassination attempt.
As Trump said after the Iowa school shooting: "Just get over it."
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
