We don't want more violence to anyone. Even if he is a dick.

I did not call for any violence, he did. Violence breeds violence and he is seeing the repercussions of his actions, he triggers people who think violence is acceptable and they're his people with the guns pointed at him. I do not own a gun and I did not advocate anyone use one on this slob. I know you are judging me for my comment and as I have already told you I don't care what you say or think. If the way you get off is trying to shame someone, how does that make you better than me?

Wishing the gunman had hit his target is wishing for violence. I'm just pleading on the side of our better angels.
By the recs I see that more people agree with you than me. So, it looks like I have the minority opinion here.
I want to make clear that despise the man as well. I hope justice prevails, and I won't miss him when his time comes. But, his assassination would only help the haters and not serve our ideal of American justice.

You are seeing clearly that if we let the malodorous mango live on rent free in our heads, he will haunt us forever.

When he leaves this earth, I want the earth wiped clean of the sewage he has polluted our country with.

I want us to heal from the cancer he brought on us.

Retaliation is his game, not ours.

I want the felonious fascist GONE completely. If we continue the hate he is infected with, the ocher abomination can reach through time and grab us by the throat.

Jesus in his wisdom taught us that.

“Then said Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into his place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword”.

I want an America at peace when he is gone, not our great country embroiled in a civil war.

We the people have the power to say "No more violence!" and walk away, leaving him in our past, reviled but forgotten and no longer in his power.
