[Oh, come the fuck on] President of Comic Retailer Happy About Giffords Shooting

[kobold]

In fact, he thinks it's a good start. His only complaint was that civilians were shot, too. "Target only politicians and their staff, and leave regular citizens alone," Travis Corcoran, president of Massachusetts-based HeavyInk, said in his blog.

Soooo yeah. That happened.

Seriously, what a piece of shit.

What is it about people that makes them all rush to say the dumbest shit first when something like this happens?

[redstapler]

Wow. I wish I lived near there so I could SHOP SOMEWHERE ELSE.

[skaldheim]

Says he's an online retailer, so we can all boycott him from wherever we live!

[kobold]

Sounds like a good plan to me!

[conflabit]

I second that.

[filkertom]

Jayzus fucking fuck.

He wrote a defense/explanation article:

My response after that is that he's not crazy, though he's still wrong, and he really needs a lesson in how words have power.

[filkertom]

Ahhhh, he's a libertarian. One of those convinced taht we need no government at all, and we can handle everything ourselves. Y'know -- infrastructure, diplomacy, police & fire protection, food inspection, water purification, traffic laws, that sort of thing.

Oy.

[lolotehe]

Man, I hope he paid his $75 so his house won't burn down.

EDIT: I suppose I should put that in context before someone thinks I'm making a threat.

[twfarlan]

Yeah, because big business has shown just how responsible they are with the public trust, haven't they?

[maga_culinae]

Uggh, his "OMG BUT LET ME EXPLAAAAIN~" post is just as bad. "Oh well I didn't REALLY mean for anyone to go out and shoot more Senators and Representatives, but I just really hate politicians."

Yes, your hatred of our current form of government makes it TOTES OKAY to essentially congratulate a spree shooter who murdered six and wounded fourteen others. Including a child.
