15. Again - you missing lots of posts is not the same thing as them not happening

There were lots of people who very naturally (like "stages of grief" ) wanted to deny that it could possibly happen. The reporting had to be mistaken or it had to be some sort of false-flag operation.

Get over it. It happened. Some nut wanted to "give his life meaning" by killing a SCOTUS justice. Just because he agreed with you on a gun ruling and/or an abortion ruling does not mean that you are somehow tainted by the similarity.

My reply didn't "bloody" you. It merely pointed out that "denial" is supposed to be fairly short-lived in rational people. It's been over two weeks. It's time to give up the fantasy that perhaps some right-wing plant was trying to make you look bad.
