Not to mention the use of DIY suicide drones.
I'm scared of his supporters becoming disenfranchised by and turning on him. They're already so volatile that their violence isn't always going to be as precise as a single bullet. There's going to be civilian collateral damage. It's hard celebrating all this, knowing the motherfucker had it coming, but considering the reality of violence, vigilantism and the kinds of people that do this (and the state they're in when pushed enough).. yay dead rich murderous fuck.. but shit, I'm scared for all of us. That dude could have missed.. a stray could have killed someone. Couldn't have gone through his head, shattered on his skull and shrapnel ricochets through a kid walking to school. Everyone wants street justice but forgets that living by the sword means living by the sword.
Definitely. This was more of a general comment.

Are you kidding? Them turning on him is our greatest hope.
Trump is already responsible for indirectly killing hundreds of thousands of Americans due to his failure during COVID.
I don't disagree. I'm just afraid of people with the same mindset going wild spray and praying all over the place and taking out bystanders with them.
Why hasn't anyone invented a super accurate grenade trebuchet?
