I have no sympathy for her; she should not have been there yesterday. But her death is on Trump and his co-conspirators.

I also have no sympathy for her.
Trump is responsible, and so are the instigators of the ridiculous conspiracy theories that fuel these nuts.

They'll never accept responsibility, but they're all part of the continuing moral decline of those on the right.

(8,445 posts)It'll be interesting to hear the details, but her presence in a place she shouldn't have been was a threat, so I'm going to go ahead and say that what happened to her was likely warranted.
