    You make good points but when politicians don’t listen to people and those people get desperate they also get violent. If politicians didn’t want to get shot at they shouldn’t have created a world in which that sounds like a good idea to damn near half the population. Actions have consequences and the people in charge have been ignoring problems for a long time. Sooner or later that’s going to bite them in the ass in one way or another.

      The same logic used by people who murder abortion doctors, nice. I’m sure this guy’s eight year old son deserved it, too. Again–seek help.

        Lol, seek help from whom exactly? Medical professionals in the US are pretty much required to report any individual which may pose a danger to themselves or others to the police. And the US police pretty much shoots first and sprinkles some evidence later.

        Who exactly do you think is going to help people who are being radicalized by the complete breakdown of the services meant to help them?

        You say “seek help” as if there’s still something there to give it. And even if there was, can one even afford help anymore?

        You’re welcome to your opinions on the topic but I don’t think you can refute anything I said. Desperate people often get violent and there are a lot of desperate people out there. That’s just the state of the world.
