    How fucking tone deaf to have a wanna be vigilante, who terrorized people on our own soil, and who killed innocent Americans, be a guest speaker for a charity event benefiting veterans and first responders with ptsd. Honestly, it’s insulting

    Edit: also what the fuck, the ceo said the people who are calling out the bad choice are “mentally ill”. I am a veteran with ptsd, I know I’m mentally ill. Don’t fucking diminish my struggle because you don’t like people bringing up valid concerns. Someone needs to smash a guitar over that fuckwad’s head
