re: #76 Slumbering Behemoth

I’m sorry, what are you talking about? Aren’t we discussing the history of political violence?

If we’re talking about the present moment, we just had a political leader assasinated. We also had riots at the 2000 DNC, riots in Cincinnati after a police shooting in 2001. Oh what the hell, here’s a bunch of riots:

And again: street riots are a hell of a lot more common in Europe. I totally agree with that. But the US has a terrible, terrible history of political violence, in terms of assassinations and racial violence.
