There have been protests, riots, looting, burning to block a conservatives right to free speech.
We have seen evidence of this time and again on CNN and elsewhere.

How soon we forget the idiot that shot up the Republican baseball practice and if not for the brave Capitol Police it would have been a blood bath.


I'm sure that there are those on the Right who do such terrible things to members on the Left but we seldom hear about it which might actually mean that it seldom happens and I have certainly never seen it in person like I have some of the above examples.


Even a casual observer has to admit that there are those on the Left that have become totally unhinged since the election.
Good post... I have corrected the one error... delete the bold red.

Same goes for the left. You all claim that we are becoming North Korea or everyone on the right is a Nazi, or a fascist, (nevermind that "Nazi" actually means national socialist...which is the left), and you all act like Trump is going to kill us all any day...or did you miss that meltdown that started on November 9th and hasn't let up yet?

As for the story in the OP: It didn't get as much air time as the shrieking about people holding Nazi flags while conveniently ignoring everyone who held a Communist flag.

This violence is, I believe, going to continue. And it keeps being the left who is doing it. So when are the milder Conservatives going to wake up?

Amazingly or not so amazingly, some news stories don't mention his home made anti-Trump signs or that the victim was a GOP Committeeman. Do you see why we hate the news media? Here's an example of that:

West Goshen homicide defendant had history of violence at home

I can think of 2 reasons why this isn't all over the national news.

1. One side doesn't want to tell you an anti-Trump Democrat killed a Republican local official.
2. The other side doesn't want to tell you a crazy man had a gun.
MEH -- I think you are being a wee bit dramatic. We had a person ram his truck into a cop here in our area -- why isn't that national news.

How many murders today? Left, right, black, white -- national news can't cover them all -- relax.....overthinking this.

If we are going to talk about Charlottesville, I'm leaving.

Will the major media networks report on this terrorist attack?
Probably not.

Unless it's a white male conservative or white cop, then it's not newsworthy.

They're all a little busy in Virginia right now. BTW, watch for Durham, NC tonight. It's spreading.
I have not been this worried since MLK was assassinated.
