James Hodgkinson

And last Wednesday”which was also Flag Day and Donald Trump’s birthday”Hodgkinson showed exactly what he meant by “destroy””he sought to kill.
Mind you, this happened right on the heels of the Kathy Griffin decapitation scandal and a Central Park production of Julius Caesar that’s a transparent excuse to stage another mock Trump assassination.
It happened amid an insane cultural climate where the day before Hodgkinson’s rampage, a black male shooter in Indianapolis fired at a truck that was flying a “Make America Great Again” flag.
Where on June 11, the Huffington Post ran an article that openly called for Donald Trump and “everyone assisting in his agenda” to be tried for treason and publicly executed. Where a successful TV producer can encourage Trump-haters to “pick up a goddamn brick,” and he doesn”t get fired. Where a college professor says that Republicans “should be lined up and shot,” and he doesn”t get fired, either. Where ever since Trump’s election”and, frankly, for about a year leading up to it”his supporters have had the living shit kicked out of them coast-to-coast, and all the media can focus on is “right-wing hate speech” and the dastardly specter of Islamophobia.
A climate where the left is so egregiously insane and vicious and bloodthirsty”all in the name of compassion, of course”that the incomparably wormy Jesse Benn, who has previously called for “white wounding“ and for violence against Trump supporters, saw no problem with a fellow traveler “shooting a racist lawmaker in the hip” last Wednesday. It’s a climate where, after the shooting, an obese New Jersey Democrat openly calls for the murder of Republicans with the hashtags #HuntRepublicans and #HuntRepublicanCongressmen.
The extreme left has always been a Misfit Magnet, and James Hodgkinson was merely the latest disaffected mold inspector to allow blindly self-righteous and stridently humorless leftist propaganda to program the empty hard drive that was his brain. He was merely one in a confoundingly endless assembly line of losers who sought to blame “the rich” for what appears to be his own largely self-inflicted personal misery.
There’s nothing more dangerous than some unhappy idiot with a gun who is implacably convinced beyond all reasoning of his moral superiority. If this is going to end in a full-blown shooting war”and that’s where it seems to be headed”let’s shoot all the fanatics first. Once they”re all dead, we may not even need a war.
