We all have thoughts that could make us "awful" in the eyes of other, as it is all subjective at the end of the day.

It's easier to understand why politicians might get shot bc their job carries an inherent risk . Judges can get shot for a ruling that isn't in line or in favor of the assailant and it often is a domestic case.

However, can never understand the harming of another civilian for simply professing a belief. It has and will always be a thing, sure, but the sudden normalization of this is what is most disturbing.
