It was genuine collective catharsis. I learned about it within a few minutes while on lunch and went inside to tell my coworker, first doing the happy dance. There were six of us gathered around and everyone was giddy once they learned who he is. I warned them, as someone who has worked in emergency medicine, that the video is particularly brutal and they might not want to see it. They watched it with the enthusiasm of a cute cat video. One gave me their number so that they could text the video to their partner. She kept saying "he was gushing" in such a happy voice while the rest of us were relieved that we wouldn't have to protest him in person when he comes to Colorado.

I haven't seen such spontaneous joy in a while. Coworkers I've never really spoken to were my genuine friends in that moment. It was beautiful.

Cathartic is a really good word for it and with him talking garbage about trans mass shootings the timing really was just

The "PROVE ME WRONG" banner is what gets me. I've waited like ten years for someone to prove him wrong by punching him. Him crying on the floor after a teenager knocks him out would be career-ending beyond Dave Rubin. The fucking poetry of using a gun on someone whose whole grift is enabling mass shootings, under that banner, is one of the funniest things I've ever seen. It's like the ultraviolet version of irony.

I didn’t even notice the banner!!! Damn if this was in a story it’d be too unbelievable how poetic it all came together

If I were religious I would probably believe this was divine punishment for his pride

My lib ass uncle said the next Trump shooter needs to “watch and learn”. Despite the consensus manufacturing by NYT and co that the entire country is in mourning, I think the amount of people who are genuinely happy about this is far higher than what everyone seems to think.
