    If veteran charities could stop trying to align with fascists this veteran would be a lot happier. I have PTSD and I don’t want a dime of this money. That dumbfuck created his situation and killed someone over property that wasn’t his after threatening to kill protestors. The only reason he isn’t locked up is because the judge is as fascist as he is.

    I lost 4,000 friends fighting Authoritarianism and Religious Extremism. I’m not sure where the fuck anyone thinks it’s a good idea to associate us with far right stuff except for the guys trying to recruit us.

      In addition to murder, Kyle also used a gun that he obtained illegally from a friend as a minor and crossed state lines with illegally.

        But his victimassailant had a skateboard. Was that skateboard obtained illegally? Did they cross state lines with the skateboard? If they did, then clearly they deserved to be killed.
