A lot of people died for our freedoms and people are very aware of that fact. It's not going to just go away. Not without a fight.

I would say in some ways unofficially we've now crossed the line where political violence can now be considered normalized. Listening to people talking about what that means, including some podcasters who are saying atm they're just not really feeling like posting videos or their comments.. and that's not something we would normally hear from any American political commentator.

Unfortunately America has been in the shitter since about 2015-2016 period.

This is them carrying on their spiral imo.

The most disgusting remarks have come from the Left. Remember there is a widow and young children grieving today. Then read the sick, gleeful comments from the smug, violent Left.

The exact same happened from the violent right when Democrat Melissa Hortman and her husband were shot dead in their own home, along with their dog.

They even posted gloating remarks to his grieving wife. Evil

The left is out of control and the media is feeding into their delusions. Calling people nazis. They have blood in their hands. CNN should be held accountable.

Do you have evidence of such an outlandish claim? Or are you just spouting more unverified right wing nonsense?

Who has blood on their hands exactly?

You are saying everyone in the left have blood on their hands, I disagree. The only one with blood on their hands is the killer, who we don’t know is part of any party, shot him in cold blood.

I hate the whole left and right thing, I never mention the directions as there are both good and bad in every party.

[Alf]

What's the name for those people who shoot people dead, who disagree with them on some issues?

Remember when they tried the same but failed on Donald Trump?

What do you call these people who murder their political opponents in cold blood? What's the name for it?

[Alf]

Two young children have lost their dad forever.

For what? Because he had a different opinion than you.

In fairness, bigotry isn’t an opinion. I’m not condoning what happened but let’s not blur the lines there.

Pretty sad coming from TMZ...

Bolt action rifle of some kind... (probably hunting rifle)

[Alf]

Still, at least it's taken people's thoughts away from the latest Peter Mandleson story. That one can go away quietly.

He sounds like a charming character.

That story is not going away, what about Trump? up to his neck in it

[Maru]

People are being mental in the comments:

Also looks like it was a pellet gun:

[Maru]

Kinda fishy if that's the only gun they had because it's a .22 and it doesn't do that kind of damage... this is why it's better to wait until all the facts come out:

You were right Maru this guy has been released

From my view in the UK, it just doesn't seem like a viable option to try and ban guns in the USA. It's not going to stop bad actors using them and banning them at this point with the saturation of guns there are would only disadvantage law abiding citizens

It's just not comparable to the UK

It does seem like political violence is getting worse, but to me, that's not a gun problem, it's a general level of intolerance that is spreading everywhere and that has roots emanating from hundreds/thousands of sources and amplified by social media

There's been a progressive rise in sociopathy that's been missed, I think. So it turns out even the meekest amongst us can morph into hardened criminals seemingly overnight.

And we may very well be interacting with good numbers of these people on the regular, without our knowledge (especially online). Those little interactions here and there add up and influence our worldview and probably not for the greater good...
