I’m sorry to hear that Josh Kruger died, but when he chose to ignore reality, and that reality then bit his backside (and bit it hard), a comment on the relationship between these two things is perfectly allowable.
As always, emphasis mine reformatted.
A left-wing Philadelphia journalist who mocked concern over rising crime in Democrat-run cities was shot to death in his home. Josh Kruger was shot seven times after someone entered his home, shot him at the base of his stairs, and then fled. Kruger ran outside seeking help from his neighbors and collapsed, where police found them after responding to call just before 1:30 a.m. on the 2300 block of Watkins Street. Kruger, 39, was rushed to the Penn Presbyterian Medical Center, where he died just before 2:15 a.m.
Kruger frequently mocked conservatives on X, ironically calling Dilbert creator Scott Adams “Nostradamus” on Saturday for predicting that people would be dead “within the year” of Biden’s election…Kruger also mocked conservatives concerned over the city’s shootings, which he said were “dropping to levels not seen in years.”

There is an old semi-joke on the Right that a NeoCon is a former liberal who got mugged. You know, an epiphany on the road to a figurative Damascus. I’m betting that this liberal never got the chance to recant his belief in Leftwing policies that then aerated him before he hit the floor.
My problem is NOT that he may have brought this upon himself but that he may have led others to believe as he did. That crime post-George-Floyd was not a big deal. It wasn’t happening (go to the link for more), but if it is … the fault lies with the Right.
Until it didn’t.
In that split second before lack of oxygen kicked in, did he berate himself for getting it all wrong? And would he have been a hypocrite if he had been a Second Amendment dude who could have defended himself FIRST?
That would have been cognitive dissonance, wouldn’t it?
