Hillary tries another round of the politics of shut-uppery. It is just an extension of the Charlie Kirk assassination. Lest we forget, Trump was nearly assassinated himself, and MANY on the left approved of it. Many on the left also approved of Luigi Mangione's act of murder of someone he didn't like.
If you disagree, then you are at fault for any murders in the future it would seem. The approval of murder only legitimizes it and encourages MORE of the same.
It would be a huge mistake for those who oppose political violence to retaliate along the same lines. Indeed, if all that happens after an assassination like this is a few uncomfortable questions, then the political left should consider themselves fortunate.
The alternative would be an all out war of all against all. Do we really want that?
This is why you speak out unequivocally against the violence. You don't make rationalizations for it. Nor should you approve of it no matter which side of the aisle you're on. To rationalize evil in response to evil will lose you the moral high-ground in any discussion. You cannot complain about the evil if you engage in it yourself, and you cannot rationalize it away just because someone says something that you don't like. You cannot approve of it and complain about it too. That is, if you want society to be at peace with itself.
As for tit-for-tat retaliation, this is a likelihood if this continues. There has to be accountability, but if the ballot box doesn't work, then it's on to the bullets.
