Normalizing political violence will inevitably, and possibly literally, blow up in your face.

We are not going to sit here and watch people get killed for no reason just for nothing to happen to the terrorists in return. As terrorists, they deserve to be treated as terrorists. A hundred years ago killing Nazis after the liberation of Germany was the right thing to do, but now it's supposed to be wrong?

The dude who shot her was killed by the police. What more were you thinking should have been done to him?

There are more like him

So what are you recommending? It sounds like you're recommending pre-emptive violence towards people with no crime, no trial, no jury. That is likely to end badly. It's also likely to be used as an excuse to kill people who aren't involves in hate in the first place.

All i am saying is that if someone were to kill one of those terrorists, they wouldn't get my pity

What do you define as "one of those terrorists"? Any person who is a conservative, or any person who has already murdered someone for being gay? Or somewhere in the middle?
