isn't that lacking a little bit in civility right there? as unfortunate as it is that the world of politics has no room for idealists, it doesn't mean that you can group every legislator, justice, presidential staff, in both federal and state governments into one group of "assholes". its because of this belief that becoming a representative for people who elect you has become a dirty job. i'm grateful that there are people higher up in the food chain making sure that my street stays paved, the streetlights stay on, and the fourth of july fireworks happen every time.

the truth is that people die one way or another and violence is one of the myriad ways that people find the end of their rope. there is no 'why', shit happens
