Chris Gethard Wrote a Brave, Insightful Piece About the UCSB Tragedy

“There was no they. No one was ever out to get me. They never held me back, only held me back. And eventually I realized that. And I found a lot more friends. And they were friends I felt more comfortable around. And all the things I thought I wanted when I was an angry young man – I either got them all or realized along the way that I never really wanted them. All the things I was angry about… as I’ve lived my life, I’ve come to realize that the world wasn’t making me feel that anger. I was making me feel that anger. The world couldn’t do anything to right its wrongs; only I could right my own.”

-Comedian Chris Gethard in a lengthy, powerful Tumblr post in reaction to this weekend’s UCSB tragedy.
