From a purely practical perspective, it immediately balloons the security costs of the tour through the end of the year. Black was smart to cancel the tour and probably saved a few dozen lives in the process, giving how trigger happy Trump's base has proven itself to be.
Maybe. It seems like a bit of an overreaction to me, and I really don't like the idea that we can't say mean things about their god emperor because they'll get mad and be violent. Has Muslim and Mohammed vibes.
I don't like it either. But that's stocastic terrorism for you. It's anti-populist and anti-liberty by design.
Only solution is to police the fascists until they're more scared of you than you are of them. And that doesn't work if the cops are on the fascists' side.
No shortage of Christian terrorism. Just ask any abortion clinic nurse.
The clinic that did the selective termination that saved my twins' lives had to be so cloak and dagger about their stuff that we literally had no idea we were showing up to the termination until they're wheeling my wife back to surgery. It's one of the only clinics in the state that even does the procedure we needed to my knowledge. That's how many bomb threats, arson and assassination attempts they deal with.
