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.

    Hard pass. Dude was a far right extremist judging by his views who was radicalized into ending a political opponent for “his team” while the other was due to the crushing pressure of the uncaring and unhelpful health care industry. Completely different and I award you no points.

      I don’t think you understand OP’s point. They aren’t saying that the motivations are equally valid, they are saying that political violence of any kind will always escalate into further and wider violence.

          then what was it? was he trying to make a point of some sort? the whole deny, depose, ect writen on the bullet casings?

          was it simple murder? because if so I doubt he would’ve written a manifesto about it

            Can you show me where his actions supported a particular party? Affordable healthcare is not a political party.

              physically fighting against and killing a member of a large power structure like this is a political act. There doesn’t need to be an organized political party on the other end of this for it to be political

              for example, the 2020 BLM protests, were those political acts? what political party did they support?
