The freedom of speech is for everybody, and I definitely don't think he should've gotten g*nned down, so brutally and publicly. I genuinely feel for his family, especially his children.
However-and this will make me sound like the worst person on earth-I cannot bring myself to feel any form of empathy for him specifically.
This man advocated for some horrible, horrible things, including keeping the use of guns even if it means that people d*e from sh*otings. He would make these statements after actual sh*otings would take place and after people had died.
Because of his terrible luck, he was also discussing gun c*ntrol when he was sh*t, and his d*ath has been cruelly ironic.
Again, I don't think he deserved that at all, I just can't bring myself to feel bad for someone who expressed such terrible thinking and encouraged others to think the same way.
