For all the talk about lost norms and restoring norms over the past six years or so, I’d like to restore the norm of genuinely wishing your political foes well after they’ve been targeted for assassination, instead of passive-aggressively accusing them of alcoholism and abuse.
We offer our thoughts & prayers to Brett & Ashley Kavanaugh after a California man arrived by taxi near their home, armed with a gun & knife, then called the police on himself to confess his murderous rage against the abusive alcoholic “Justice”.

Am I asking too much? Am I setting the bar too high? Is this really an unreasonable bare minimum standard of behavior in public life?
I’d also wonder if this is really the right time for a “Voice Your Anger” protest in front of an elementary school.
Direct action is but a means to an end, and that end is building a brighter future for my loved ones (real homies know what I’m referencing).

Say, has anything happened lately that might make people particularly worried about someone angry and potentially unhinged hanging around an elementary school?
