What is the difference

between an attempt to execute a Presidential candidate at a rally, and executing a healthcare executive in public?

We all tiptoed through the quagmire of declaring that tRump's shooter was wrong, wrong, wrong. "That's not the way to go." Yet, for this healthcare executive, all of a sudden many posters declare their satisfaction with the results. The healthcare executive was the enemy, because he had both power and wealth.

I'll be blunt: We all would have been better off if that kid had managed to execute tRump.. But, this is in hindsight, and it's not our way. It's not the Rule of Law that we hold so dear. We are now trying to hold onto our principles, as we watch tRump et al. begin the destruction of our nation.

But, apparently, that doesn't apply to a healthcare executive. He can go, I guess. I find this extremely disturbing, as we get into the suck and have to figure out where we stand. I am surprised to read that so many believe that the healthcare shooting was justified.

For what? Let's be fair about it. Trump is an insurrectionist, a convicted felon, a thief or spy, and a rapist. He's a terrorist. Yet, he was defended because he was a Presidential candidate. Gee, can't arrest him, put him in jail, or execute him. Everybody else can be shot down for just none of that.

tRump is not some holy, golden savior of the poor. I hope that Putin has room in Russia for the grifting, psycho, fat ass Hitler wannabe. and all his family and friends. Meantime, we need to examine our very souls for what we have in front of us. We will not give up our country easily, but how we'll get it back is thought provoking. Are we going to solve any problems by shooting someone in the back? I don't think so.
