We’ve seen this episode 100 times:
1. Child gets bullied incessantly
2. Child fantasizes about objects of revenge.
3. Child gains access highly lethal #firearms.
4. Child acts out fantasized revenge scenario.

It’s not a great logical leap to see taking out the #BullyInChief as the act of a #martyr
And, it’s all so sad.
But we encourage bullies in this country. We lionize bullies in this country. This country IS *bully personified* … while bristling with millions of easily accessed weapons.

And then we ignorantly lament “But why did this happen”???
You know exactly fucking why.

This also speaks to why I so enjoyed watching the PWHL's first season.

And why I cannot abide watching the NHL, although I admit I'll sometimes watch a YouTube collection of "The 10 Nastiest NHL Hits" or some such, because I know that whomever's getting slammed painfully into the boards really has it coming. They've taken their worst character flaws and turned it into a career.
