      Yesterday, just a day after the shooting, Tom MacDonald put out a music video on the shooting. It’s pretty boring though, not worth watching. It’s hard to even find things to say about it, though Tom, in classic Tom fashion, committed very hard to villifying woke people and that was competing for being the main message:

      Another woke coward took a life with a gun

      The patriots ain’t dangerous, woke people are the terrorists

      And I’m so tired of the left and all the wokery

      We can’t get along if you just kill us when we don’t agree

      Sniper rifle fire from a liberal that no one sees

      Using the term “wokery” and trying to rhyme it is the closest thing he’s had to a lyrical impulse in like 5 albums, so there’s that.

      Also I found it kind of funny he says “I’ll preach what you taught me” like this isn’t basically the first time he ever mentioned Kirk besides the short he did reacting to the death when it happened. But I do need to emphasize that this is literally everything I can find in the song that’s even mildly worth noting to me, and I probably take more personal interest in looking at this particular brand of trash than anyone else here, so it’s not worth seeing the rest.

      Anyway, I mention this because, just like with the Trump shooting, he put out a song in like 24 hours to chase the headline and promote himself with pure hog rage. It’s amazing how these scumbags immediately start finding ways to trying to advance their career when the dude’s body isn’t even cold, let alone buried. It’s so brazenly cynical.
