Another wrote: “I hate violence. This child wrapped in making money through hateful speeches. This result is not surprising for many. The late stage of capitalism will claim much more victims, I’m afraid.”
“He supported the 2nd amendment and the right to bare weapons against the tyrannical government. Non -return people in daylight,” he said.

“This man was a hero! It’s so sad,” he came from one of them.
