Heads up you guys. So far I have neither seen with my own eyes, not received reports about ANYONE either celebrating an assassination attempt on a former President, or sympathizing with the shooter.

THANK YOU.

And I mean that - because I know many folks here can't abide Trump (including myself), but you're keeping your dignity and COSO's reputation handy.

@th3j35t3r
Seriously? There were piles of posts doing exactly that.

@voltronic

But not a single report. I can't see everything as it flies by in realtime.

@th3j35t3r
Nor should you be expected to, and I didn't mean to imply that. But just so you know, there were a lot of such posts about 3-4 hours back. Things like, 'dang, he missed' and such. I made a fairly pissy post reacting to all of it, frankly disgusted that sort of behavior was taking place here. I don't want to speak for her, but I'm pretty sure txgal leaving was also in reaction to this.

@th3j35t3r
I'm kind of glad you missed it, because it was really depressing to see so many people behaving that way over here. That's why several of us were posting about block fests.

The silver lining I guess is that a lot of that seems to have died down (or I blocked most of the people posting these things). Elsewhere I'm sure things will be churning for days.

@th3j35t3r
Just so we're all clear: Are such posts in violation of ToS?

@voltronic @th3j35t3r I vote yes. Clear violations of the no dickhead clause. $0.02

@kel @voltronic

Celebrating political violence... aye! But laughing at a felon who got a grazed ear... the same felon we were laughing at yesterday, before he got a grazed ear, not so much.

@th3j35t3r
Yeah, 'celebrating political violence' accurately describes a bunch of what I saw. I'll report in the future.
