re: #279 RogueOne

I gave you a thumbs-up before even though I thought the “That’s not the American way” was misleading. Now that I know those weren’t your words I’m taking my ding back./

It is the American way because it’s the human way. This is what people do, they behave like assholes when they feel angry or they don’t feel like they have any other options. There are thousands and thousands of examples through our history of political violence, for starters we have 4 dead presidents and dozens of attempts on others. It is what it is. Expecting every member of a 300+ million family to behave with decorum is asking a bit much.

Oh, Rogue.

So the leaders (politically, ideologically, conceptually, whatever) of the tea partiers should turn a blind eye to and make no attempt to direct the outrage of their followers because historically and statistically speaking we have to expect a few assassination attempts and cut wires?
