Our Response to Political Violence
If flags are going to be flown at half staff for the assassination of a right-wing activist then flags should also be flown at half staff for the assassination of left-wing activists.
The fact that we have entered a new era in our history where a distinction is made based on party affiliation is an indication that we are loosing our way as a nation.
I object to the use of the terms “right-wing” and “left-wing.” As a country we have become more politically intolerant than I ever dreamed we would become. I’m appalled.
Please view this as not only my denunciation of all political acts of violence but also my condemnation of treating others that do not share the same political views as an enemy instead of as a fellow citizen.
