Self loathing mostly in my case.

I called it edgelord and he couldve made his point without the first few sentences. I dont know what else you want me to say.

It came at you two arguing over Babbitt pearl clutching, which, again, leads me back to my original question

why did you become such a blatant shitposter
this is the toxic shit i'm talking about. i asked that guy why wounding her wouldn't be enough, why he's glad she died, why he insists they empty the clip into her body and yall think that's weakness

none of that happened. No one was glad she died. Youre twisting acknowledging that participating in a coup, especially when you are continually trying to bash down and cross a barricade after being warned not to, can have dire consequences to somehow being gleeful they died.

why did you become such a blatant shitposter

I posted in that thread. I saw you and many others pearl clutching because you cant accept acknowledging those consequences isnt the same as being happy they died.

saw the post

again, you are stripping context of what was being said, but yes, it was yet another edgelord post from a guy that seems to have a streak of that

Sir, this is a topic about people being upset over an adult man feeling emotional over children being killed in a school shooting.

This topic became quite the shitshow.

Unfortunate that what should be a universally agreed viewpoint that people shouldn't criticize anyone becoming emotional over the senseless loss of children's lives somehow devolves to "why you still mad 9 years later?"

Never have an opinion on anything ever again if you fall into that category.

Rather interesting that the people most "offended" made the most amount of noise.

If they disagree so hard with the topic that Error posted, but don't want to look like they're angry about it, they could have just... not posted?

Would've died after about a couple of dozen posts. And the world of CE will continue to turn.

Honestly? You think he was 'pretending' to be upset that children were murdered in a school shooting?

I mean, maybe. He bombed a bunch of children himself without shedding a tear, after all.

Remember when Chris Christie hugged Obama in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy ravaging NJ and the East Coast

Conservatives thought that was being weak and it helped to crater his presidential campaign

I don't remember Obama crying over this but I looked it up and WOW. I could give him a pass for breaking once over Sandy Hook but dude cried all the time apparently. I had no idea:

https://www.bbc.com/news/newsbeat-38582921
https://www.elle.com/uk/life-and-culture/culture/news/a38917/barack-obama-admits-crying-malia-harvard/

Can't relate at all. I don't think I've ever cried in public since I was a small child.

Also I decided to actually check your links to see what you were flexing your emotional strength over.

The one article was about him getting emotional dropping off kid to college for the first time, wasn't in public and was admitted to in an interview. How is that something 'odd'.

His grandmother dying, okay. Can't see anyone being upset over him crying there

Teared up at the funeral of Dorothy Height. Okay, it's a funeral. Seems normal to me.

Teared up at the press conference about Sandy Hook. Again, tearing up when discussing dozens of children being murdered. Seems normal.

Teared up at the funeral of Daniel Inouye. Again, funeral. Normal.

Teared up during an Aretha Franklin performance. If it meant a lot to him, can't see having a tear being some massive issue. Maybe the only example here where someone could go 'lol' over.

Last example on that article was tearing up when discussing new gun laws... in relationship to kids being murdered in a school. So two of the seven examples are Sandy Hook. Gotta double dip.

Imagine being upset over ANY of these.

I'm not the one upset buddy. I didn't know anything about Obama's history of crying all the time before I entered this topic and I didn't really say much about it other then that I can't relate. You have issues dude.

One of the classmate's who survived father went down the Q hole and now believes it was a planned action by the deep state to get guns banned.

It's super fucking sad all around. Republicans didn't do this to us. Fox News did by giving the most vocal, most extreme, most hateful republicans the biggest platform in America to preach their shit while ostracizing moderates like Shepard Smith.

Now all republicans are Sean Hannity or worse.
