[paraphrasing a friend]

Y’all, just tuck this away: If I am ever the victim of gun violence
(and I’m 25 times more likely to be shot in the US than any developed
nation, or put another way, I have a 1 in 6,905 chance of being shot and
a 1 in 38,174 of dying by coming into contact with “sharp objects.”
Source: WHO and NSC), you have MY PERMISSION to politicize the hell out
of it.

As a matter of fact, I will haunt the fuck out of you if you don’t.

I want to be politicized before I hit the ground. Politicize it up!
Make it undeniably political. The minute I’m identified – you scream
from the highest point in your life: HE WAS IN FAVOR OF COMMON SENSE GUN
REGULATION. HE SUPPORTED MENTAL HEALTH FUNDING.

You have my
permission. BE FUCKING POLITICAL ABOUT MY DEATH. And if somebody tells
you it’s too soon – you point to my cats and my friends and you say:

“FUCK YOU, YOU’RE WRONG. IT IS TOO FUCKING LATE.”

And, maybe, just for good measure, shoot them, and ask them if that changes their mind.
