Snitsky's back acne Posted July 10 Posted July 10 9 minutes ago, Chico Torres said: It is her death that is being celebrated, not her means of death. I'm not sure that's much better, in fairness. Sadly, people have become all too comfortable celebrating people's deaths because of their views or political affiliation. My first thought when Charlie Kirk was murdered was not "Haha, the horrible bastard's dead!" it was "Shit, that poor guy. What a terrible thing to happen. What must his wife and kids be going through?". I was able to separate his politics and his ideology from the basic humanity of "someone has just been violently murdered". Maybe that's just me. It was the same here. My Mum is 76 and lives on her own. I instantly thought of her when I heard what happened. How terrifying must it have been to realise there is an intruder in your home who intends to do you harm? We can hate the things Ann Widdecombe believed. We don't even have to be upset she is dead - after all, none of us knew her personally - but "celebrate" her death? Yeah, sorry, I've never been comfortable with that. Quote

I’m sure Ann Widdecombe didn’t care about any gay people dying and would’ve celebrated anything that stopped their rights. So why would they not be happy about someone so against them no longer walking the planet. Charlie Kirk was such a cunt that I didn’t care. I’d feel the same if Tommy Robinson or Andrew Tate got killed for example. In fact, I’d be over the moon if someone did more damage than throw a milkshake in Tommy Robinson’s face. Quote

If you are happy she's dead, that's up to you. I'm not. Not because I think Ann Widdecombe was a wonderful person but because she was an elderly woman who was (apparently) violently murdered in her own home. Quote

deathrey Posted July 10 Posted July 10 @Snitsky's back acne I think it's much easier to feel the way you do when the person doesn't threaten your very existence. The likes of Ann and Charlie have not only personally wished violence on people like me, they've incited others to do the same. They are a direct threat to mine, my children's and my families existence so I don't give even one shit if they die, in the same way they would celebrate/not give a shit if I died. I don't celebrate anyone's death but I certainly don't feel any empathy/sympathy for people who openly spread hate or their families who enable them to spread hate. Quote
Members SuperBacon Posted July 10 Members Posted July 10 Yeah I don't think I'd celebrate a death, bad karma innit? But I don't care. There is definitely a difference. But each to their own, you're all your own person. Quote

Just cause someone has different political beliefs than you, you all can't handle it. Choosing to precede that second sentence with the first shows a staggering lack of self-awareness at how you might feel. Politically I think she was awful, but I would never celebrate her death, much less her murder. I’ll give her this - I don’t think she was a grifter, and I think she genuinely believed what she said with many of her beliefs being shaped by her religion. I don’t know how a Christian can balance ‘Thou shall not kill’ and ‘love thy neighbour’ with death penalty advocacy and an anti-immigrant stance, but it seems to happen a lot so it doesn’t make me doubt her sincerity, even if I strongly disagree on what she was being sincere about. Her final moments must have been horrendous and terrifying, and the murder of a 78-year-old who lived alone is shameful and cowardly. Edited July 10 by RedTwoster Quote

Agreed. I hope you are not assuming that's what I'm doing however, as that would mean knowing my personal circumstances or those of my family and friends, which you don't. Quote

Not at all, just explaining why some people have no issues with feeling comfortable with her death due to her political beliefs. If the political affiliations are the difference in how pot hole filling should be prioritised then it's silly to hold a grudge about it but when it's harmful things like homophobia, misogyny and racism, it's enough reason not to care.

Paid Members Weezenal Posted July 10 Paid Members Posted July 10 Maybe we need a new rule, to not celebrate someone dying until we know they’ve not been murdered. Quote
