    His last words were “Counting or not counting gang violence?” when asked about mass shootings. He died as he lived, spewing bullshit.

      to be explicit, it was a racist dogwhistle. It was like someone didn’t just assassinate him, it was as though it was “oh yeah , another bullshit “Um AKSHUALLY” ? All right fucking shut the hell up”

        I couldn’t help but think the exact timing was a reaction to how shitty what he was saying was. Like they lost their cool and pulled the trigger because they couldn’t stand his bile for another moment.

          They probably didn’t even plan to shoot him but just couldn’t stand the bullshit any more.

      I seriously thought the shooter was in the crowd because of that. It seemed just soooo on the nose. Someone even says “Good” just before the shot, I thought it was the shooter thinking this was going to make the perfect clip.

      Can’t imagine having a dog whistle as my last words.
