Trump supporters more angry about Kathy Griffin than Jeremy Joseph Christian

Really, you can't make this up!

Trump fans are OUTRAGED over Kathy Griffin holding up a severed fake head representing Donald Trump. "She's threatening the President!" squawk the triggered little snowflakes from their safe spaces.

But Jeremy Joseph Christian killing two men after yelling insults at a Muslim woman? Meh. No big deal. And of course Christian COULDN'T have been a Trump supporter! After all, Trump is so patient, kind, inclusive, mature, peaceful and tolerant, right? That's why he's taken to Twitter to decry the act and preach unity. Oh, wait, no he hasn't; he's too busy sniveling and bawling about "fake news" in between diaper changes.

Sad. They should go have a funeral and bury the dummy Trump head (redundant, I know) and stop making such a ridiculous spectacle of themselves.

The one that could have inspired the incident in Arizona involving Gabby Giffords.

And graphic death threats on top of that. This happens once and they're ready to break out the guillotines. Which only further proves my point about what they would have done to Hillary as president. So to that, I say, eat shit, snowflakes!

...I'm not saying I agree with what Griffin did but where was the outrage on the right when they were lynching Obama in "effigy"?

Anything that brings out the right-wing snowflakes and exposes them for the hypocrites they are, is fine with me. Issues of good taste don't enter into it---we can't afford to cut our enemies any slack.

Actually, it sounds like he was seriously mentally ill, same as Jared Loughner and James Holmes.

http://www.oregonlive.com/portland/index.ssf/2017/05/who_is_jeremy_christian_facebo.html

"Bernie Sanders was the President I wanted," wrote Christian in December. "He voiced my heart and mind. The one who spoke about the way America should gone. Away from the Military and Prison Industrial Complexes. The Trump is who America needs now that Bernie got ripped off."

But on Nov. 11, he posted that he was unable to bring himself to vote for Trump.
