@JoeBiden
This cold-blooded shooting is unconscionable and the perpetrator must be brought to justice.
Violence of any kind is wrong; those who commit it should be caught and punished.

That probably isn't the case with this shooting, but still the caveat should be said even when it involves police being shot.

the shooter approaching the car and firing into it?
Do you even actually want Biden to get elected?

(34,169 posts)3. Of course I want Joe to be elected.
See my edits in parentheses:
"This cold-blooded shooting is unconscionable and the perpetrator must be brought to justice.
Violence of any kind is wrong (except in cases of self-defense); those who commit (unjustified violence) should be caught and punished.
Jill and I are keeping the deputies and their loved ones in our hearts and praying for a full recovery."

(6,280 posts)4. Actually, your statement reads as though
.... the obvious had to be said out loud because there might be a chance Joe Biden might not be aware of it. Punishing unjustifiable violence is something that I'm sure every human being on this planet with a relatively few exceptions agree on......obviously.
