re: #45 Obdicut

I’m sorry, do you have any sort of statistics to back this up? I feel that Europe has a lot more street scuffles than we do, but much less of a history of assassination.

And we have certainly had huge riots in the US, as well.

‘Street scuffles’? Is that what you call mass riots, some of which last for days and weeks?

England, France, Germany, Greece, Spain and other nations have had serious political violence and we will continue to see more of that in the future.

My point is straightforward in a nation of 300 plus million- more than France and England combined- we have remarkably little in the way pf political violence.

When all is said and done, the rhetoric we both abhor yields only a lot more rhetoric than it does violence.

The guy was crazy. If it were really about rhetoric being responsible for violence, there would be a whole lot more violence.
