Joke was on stage "Dont miss Trump next time" - to a cheering crowd.

However people were well and proper offended on social media and as consequence Jack Black cancelled the rest of the tour.

#CancelCulture

To which they should have responded with

#IDontReallyCareDoU?

But alas.

As much as it can be said in jest, that's not something you want to joke about. That's how Donald Trump enacts stochastic terrorism.

"[Insert racist and xenophobic DJT quote]" followed by "I was just joking".

(Attempted) Assassination of politicians or other government officials is bad news for everyone.

I read on USA Today that there's been several people who have lost their jobs posting similar jokes on social media. I think a fire chief was one of them.

As Jonathan Winters once said to the effect, "Never leave the mother ship alone."

I mean please, what kind of horrible person would take delight in the fact that some dog bite victim got the police to have the SPCA euthanize the next door neighbor's vicious dog. Such terrible people and their evil thoughts.

Liberals are such upstanding people. "We must never think evil thoughts even though none of us would have missed Trump if the assassin hadn't.

Thank God the assassin missed. Now Trump can live on to kill maybe another million people or more and bring misery to millions more.

We have a justice system to take care of such matters. If you can wait a thousand years, you'll see.
