The guy who killed Abe was successful beyond his wildest dreams.
This one and Rabin go down as some of the most successful assassinations in history.
I wonder what lesson we can take from these events. 🤔
I’m sure 2nd amendment gun nuts would use this as an excuse to say even in the most restrictive environment gun violence can still occur hence gun control is pointless and zero gun control is the only way…
I’d say its the exception to prove the rule. One death is shocking there and promoting response. Compare that to schools getting shot up while the GOP salivates over using the tragedy to push “private religious schools”…
If anything the lesson is that violence will occur but societally it should never be tolerated in any form.
Not for the sake of an AR-15 and certainly not for the sake of a predatory religion/cult.
