It think there are people on both sides that have been guilty of violence in their rhetoric. Currently, the majority of that is coming from the conservative end of the spectrum.
Again, I don't care to make any connection between the language and symbolism that politicians and members of the media have been using (maps with cross hairs, reload, guns v. knives, etc.) and what the shooter did.
I just want to point out, again, that using this sort of language comes with consequences.
Now is not only the time to point fingers. It is also the time to look at ourselves.
