Yet Another Attempt On A Right-Leaning Leadership Candate’s Life… Notice Any Pattern?

You might think the party that spent 4 years accusing everyone and his dog of ‘insurrection’ might be a little more cautious about supporting political violence. But no. And there’s a good reason for that.

When you embrace an ideology that anchors itself in an ethos of perpetual revolution, holding up violent revolutionaries like Che Guevera as ‘heroes’, taking violent shortcuts to forcing issues that mere persuasion cannot accomplish will eventually seem morally defensible.

We’ve seen the black block tactics among riots for years now, hiding their true intentions with and among larger groups, sometimes even leveragint the herd mentality dynamics to get the more ‘ordinary’ protesters caught up in the fray.

Lethal force is not a new tactic, even in America but for a long time, the deterrents have been strong enough that few would dare attempt them. But Trump himself has faced multiple attempts. Rand Paul has been assaulted by a neighbor — losing part of his lung in the process. He was there in the politically-motived shooting that nearly killed Scalia, and the rest of the Republican baseball team. More than one red-hat wearing Trump supporter was shot in cold blood by the other side during the 2020 election cycle.

Domestically, despite official statements claiming the ‘real’ threat of political violence is coming from the right, experience and our own eyes tell us differently. Violence against ICE, for example is now up over 400%.

It’s not just at home, either.

The former Japanese President was killed in cold blood. Others have faced attacks. The latest example, just this week-end involved an attempt on the live of Columbian senator — and Presidential candidate — Miguel Uribe was shot. Blood sprayed all over his supporters and the hood of a nearby car.

Colombian Senator Miguel Uribe, a potential presidential contender, survived an initial operation for his injuries after being shot in Bogota on Saturday, according to his wife and the hospital treating him, although he remains in intensive care.

Senator Rubio had strong support of the injured candidate, and even stronger condemnation of who he holds responsible:

He’s by no means the only one connecting the dots of violence and incitement by the political left.

As one example among many:

And a Spanish-language one making the same point.

But surely, we can believe those who tell us that the ‘real’ danger is coming from the political right. The same people who assured us that the riots in LA were mostly peaceful
