Those who cheered on the latter murder should now be examining their consciences.

The historical record is very clear: in politics, violence begets violence. This story is only beginning and it may not end well for America.

See details about the recent shootings.

    Nobody’s cheering a CEO murder, they’re cheering a symbolic win AGAINST the health insurance industry, which preys on poor Americans.

    And nobody’s cheering a Democrat politician murder, they’re cheering a symbolic win FOR the party that preys on poor Americans.

      Distinction without a difference. People are even cheering the death of a british billionaire who was killed by a bee, which has no symbolic value at all.

          yeah I understand it

          its just that the absolutes you used when saying ‘nobody’ kinda missed a lot, like the tankies on .ml praying to Luigi and the proud boys or whatever cheering for the death of those democrats
