17. I agree. It was desperation. And the GOP keeps creating desperate people.

Some of the very same people in government who claim to abhor violence (directed at themselves mainly) don't seem to mind - or see the connection - between violence directed at them and the violence they cause with their legislation.

No matter how you cut it, taking away people's health care is an act of violence.

Cutting or gutting necessary safety nets is an act of violence against someone.

They go without food, or shelter, or heat, or health care - all things they can die without.

How is that not violent?

Because it's legal? How wonderful to be able to direct violence at so many and then hide behind the claim that it was legal to do so.

I'm not talking the deranged or racists who go on shooting sprees and go after members of government.

I'm talking everyday Americans pushed to the limit by the cruelty and callous disregard of some in government. They are backed into the corner and the hits keep coming - they lash out in desperation.

Yeah, it's ugly.

Yeah, violence is never the answer.

But that's just it - violence is never the answer. Not even when it's called the law.
