CNN reports on the second attempt on Donald Trump’s life in two months.
Background:
The FBI said it is investigating
“what appears to be an attempted assassination” of Trump on Sunday after the
Secret Service said it opened fire on a gunman at the former president’s golf
resort in Florida.
My Comments
It is definitely tragic and
troubling to constantly have guns pointed at you simply for running a political
campaign. However, Donald Trump is not exactly blameless in this situation. He
has frequently attacked his opponents and evoked a copious amount of stochastic
terrorism by inciting his rabid MAGA base on his critics and opponents.
There is no room for violence in
politics, period! It does not matter whether it is coming from a candidate you
support or a party with which you identify. Any form of bloodletting undermines
the very foundations of democracy.
Stochastic terrorism is when an individual publicly speaks out against a person or group in a way that increases the chances of someone else, committing violence against them.
