It is not "uncalled for". It was deliberate called for to distract from the presidents failures and crimes.

Did they vote for him?
“Just the worst nightmare we could ever imagine. We trust in God that he will comfort us and be with our family,”
I guarantee it.
100% voted for him.
the 10,000,000 dollar question
Well they did call for people to vote in this next election... so I think they probably didn't. Or at least they aren't going to vote his way coming up.
I could 100% see MAGA being upset that their child was killed and then forgetting and voting for Trump in 6 months again.
Is the Jeffrey Epstein Memorial War starting to get through to the magats?
As a European, all these American news read like you‘re very close to a civil war over there
When I'm at an airport bar, any and all interactions with chuds from red states definitely feels like it. They've been conditioned to hate blue cities/ states. A simple where you flying to/ from turns into a whole rant about San Francisco and how it used to be great, but it's been ruined by wokeness or whatever 9 times out of 10. It's fucking unbearable. I try not to talk to those chodes because they literally can't function without repeating some bullshit they heard on Fox News. They straight up live in an alternate reality.
Buy a gun
But don't bring it to the airport...
This syndicated comic strip ran in a bunch of main line newspapers yesterday. You have to understand it's pretty wild for these big, mainstream comic strips to dip into politics if that's not what they usually do. When Doonesbury went "too far", he got moved to the opinion page in a bunch of papers.

We're being actively goaded in that direction by bad-faith actors all over social media, including here. Those of us with brains are keeping our powder dry since it's obvious that these trolls can't speak for all the steps that sit between conflict and resolution. Said trolls also don't understand that the majority of gun owners are trained and know better. It's not like you can buy bullets at 7-11, and having so many firearms around doesn't automatically make this a volatile situation, hence the constant pushing you see online.
What I can say is that the political divides you're seeing online are showing up in the real world, where people aren't able to overcome propaganda and programming. In my experience, people generally stay off the topic of politics in public because they want to have a good day. Occasionally you spot someone wearing trump stuff, but I take that in stride along with people wearing offensive t-shirts and the like: it's just trolling, plain and simple.
Overall, it's not great.

Let it be an example to you. Keep the fucking hard right and left wing idiots out of political leadership. I always voted for the SPD, CDU or Greens, the AfD and Linke can f-themselves and would destroy Germany like MAGA is doing to the USA. Shame the Pirate Party (Piratenpartei) failed, they were on to something.

YOU 👏 SIGNED 👏 UP 👏
Trump doesn't give a fuck about about anybody but Trump.
Yeah. But I mean dying pointlessly is kinda what he signed up for. Civilian deaths are far more tragic.
But isn't that why he joined the military? ~~Kill~~ bomb girl schools or be killed? FAFO.

Simmons’ cousin, Stephan Douglas, told NBC4 in Simmons’ native Ohio. “We believe this could have been prevented. It’s a sad day.”
Nah bro, every 
soldier's death could have been easily prevented by simply not signing up to join the baby-killing machine
I know a lot of people who have served here. They didn't believe that they had many other options.
Things are bad in America, and they have been for most of the 2000's. People outside the country don't understand this fully sometimes.
“Things are bad in Russia, and they have been for most of the 2000's. People outside the country don't understand this fully sometimes.”
Yea….. I feel pity for the destitute Russia meat wave that was force conscripted, or joined to feed a starving family. It’s almost like we’ve designed our societies this way and the people are the victims??

It’s like I can hate Russia and its leadership with all my heart; and still understand a boot on the ground is separate from the person ordering him around.
I can hate hamas and still feel bad for the child that was indoctrinated. It’s a crazy concept!
We've seen how yous frame everyone you don't like as terrorists and all of their family, relatives, neighbors, neighborhood, city, country are fair game but sure "people outside this country don't understand this".
US has been shit throughout history if you ever read a history book.
Serving the military is a choice and the consequences are a part of the contract.

Also “We believe this could have been prevented. It’s a sad day” is pretty weak “raging”. This still sounds sycophantic

MAGA's attitude, "Life is Cheap." If any of the family members and soldiers guzzled down the Orange Kool-Aid, mixed with Russian vodka, zero sympathy.
Do they really think their son is going to heaven? What was he killing people there for? Was this his way to make a living and put food on the table?
He died mass murdering people 8000 miles away from an airplane to help a genocidal aparthied expand their settler-colonial hegemony, and help his pedofile boss cover their crimes and get richer from death and destruction of poor people.
He was not defending an invasion or any threat, and dont give me that he was freeing people from a dictatorship when his US military is what enables and supports all the dictatorships in the in the gulf reigon and middleeast including unlimited support for a genocidal aparthied supremacist ethnostate. In fact, the only dictatorship his military does not help in the middleeast is one his country improvished with sanctions for decades and whom he was mass slaughtering their people when he died.
That drone hovering over your house is definitely NOT the Raytheon Good Thought Adjuster 3000.
Who’d they vote for?
An unprovoked war. Basically a war crime.
I see many people disparaging the family. Saying that this is what they get for voting for trump. (unconfirmed, people are using them encouraging others to vote as reasoning to call them Trump supporters... Which is so awful and hypocritical.)
I hope people can remind themselves that these are real people with real lives, dreams, and concerns. No parent should have to bury their child no matter who they are.
Please also remember that service members are not given a choice to opt out of a specific president. For all we know the service member could have been the most stout democratic supporter.
