That’s indicative of the problems leading to the division and violence, though. It wasn’t all that long ago that government officials in important roles would urge unity, compassion and restraint in the wake of these events. But we very suddenly don’t live in that world any more. I don’t need the AG or President paying lip service to the crazies demanding unconstitutional remedies. I need them upholding the constitution and reminding the angry masses why it’s so important.I believe this may be more lip service more than anything. But on the heels of the left shooting free speech advocates in the throat, I get people wanting something to be done. But long run you can’t.
The easiest ones to critique from our iPhones are the people that are being demanded to action at a time like this.
Likewise, I don’t need the left excusing the response to Kirk’s death, I need them urging people to tap into their humanity and empathy so that it doesn’t happen again.
