          Of all the issues we’re facing right now, this is one of the most clear-cut: he’s a murderer, and he will be convicted as one. There’s no room for ifs or buts. Even if one believes his motives were pure, there should be no doubt that this is not how political issues are solved. Violence has never been, nor should it ever be, the answer.

          A world where political disagreements are resolved through assassinations is not one anyone wants to live in. It’s dangerously naive to think future acts of violence like this will only target people you consider villains. No, they’ll eventually target your heroes too - because your heroes are someone else’s villains.

    Become a rapist, fraudster, openly dickish and racist fuckwad and YOU TOO can get your name as the person of the year. Hell, you might even become president of the United States.
