17. Why would I want to address the fears and concerns of terrorists?

I'm sorry. At this point, that's exactly how I see them.

We've been stuck in this limbo because there is a narrative that we should "listen to both sides". NO. Fuck that. Fuck that cult and their gun fetish. I'm tired of seeing little kids blown to pieces. Gun deaths have become the number one cause of death for humans under twenty in this country.

FUCK THAT NOISE.

I am beyond pissed off at this point.

Sorry, not sorry.
