My point is that this incident did not occur in a vacuum and the political violence has been going on for well over a year now. The only thing that makes this incident stand out in that regard is that a person lost their life. This is horrible, it was also bound to happen at some point given how things have been progressing. There has been a lot of violence directed at political speech of late and in far too many cases those perpetrating the violence have been treated with an insane amount of leniency. This only emboldens those who would engage in further violence.
Like I said in the post you quoted, we agree this needs to be addressed, and in strong terms. If it had been addressed in strong terms when it began then very possibly this weekend's events don't unfold the way they did and that young lady would still be alive.
Okay, I see where you are coming from. Sorry, still a little worked up about this situation. Usually you can kind of step away from things when something like this happens and take a break, but when it is so local, it infects your whole life and you get no rest from it.
