Country should join together in condemning assassination attempt
Editor:
The attempted assassination of Donald Trump is a Third World type tragedy. But no matter the particulars there is a lesson here.
This is a symptom of our body politic and the normalization of threats to jail people, nonsense about misuse of the jury system, scapegoating and blaming innocent people, and the fiction there is a “deep state.” Stoking anger not peace.
This was wrong! Everyone ought to take a step back and remember this is the United States. We are the leader of the free world. We debate but are a free people with honest elections and use the rule of law to resolve differences.
We can not cannibalize our heritage but that is exactly what’s happening!
Normal people ought to remember simple decency is the keystone. It’s clearly getting lost and if we lose that we lose ourselves.
We must join together in condemnation and realize we are neighbors, not combatants!
