      For a few weeks now I have been expecting some real retaliation to be honest. It’s a damn mess that’s for sure.

        I feel really sad for the decent Americans. I’ve got a bunch of LGBT+ friends in Australia that are really being affected by this, particularly the potential for it to spread.

      Yeah I think it is definitely time for a general strike. There’s a list of serious grievance as long as my arm, but even just to demand that the murderer is charged with murder would be a good move. A line has to be drawn somewhere. And if murdering civilians has not cross the line, then wtf?
