He was shot in the neck and is presumably dead, as a staggering loss of blood was reportedly observed.

    A martyr for what, though? His platform has made guns a part of their identity, that isn’t going to change.

      He was very outspoken about Christianity and conservatism. Historically, every time Christians have been publicly killed, Christianity spreads more rapidly.

        I upvoted you, I recognize what you’re getting at. I think that circumstances are so fucked that it’s still too early to tell how it will be spun, but Christianity and martyrdom certainly go hand in hand as you say.

        Perhaps they’ll ‘capture’ the shooter and it will be a trans person. Idk, you aren’t wrong for thinking this is a possibility.
