That is the point of this thread, to illustrate why you have a problem with violence isnt it? The above Guest provided a discussion point, but you treated it as his/her point of view (something you do not know). The problem with the USA is that its society is divisive and tribal. Instead of wasting invective on each others different points of view, why dont you debate the question? Degeneration of these threads into bigoted pro and con sides/tribes, reminds us of the fact that your political system has only two choices, right and left. Deal with that first, and you might start the long road to curing the issue of violence. Republicans and Democrats do not have monopolies on intelligence and being right. If more people voted for substance, instead of political parties, the problem would be solved quickly.
