The people going "fuck yeah I love that he died from gun violence" are showing their hands.

I mean, there's also the hilarious irony of someone who argued there shouldn't be any gun regulations because of school shootings and the cost that is "some deaths" being killed by a school shooting while under a giant banner saying "prove me wrong" while in the middle of blaming minorities for most killings.

It'd be like a huge homophobe dying because he choked on a huge dildo.

There's inherent schnaudenfreude in someone hateful dying in such incredibly ironic way, and certainly different than a person cheering on the death of someone else who didn't harm others, didn't advocate the harm of others, and simply existed, as the right wing usually does.
