I don’t condone political violence- (even though I have been very tempted to do it myself, my better angels have prevented action, so far) - but we don’t know for sure from this if the victim was attacked for his Drumpf support or some other reason or if he started the fight. This was Fux News so you can assume half of the story is missing and the other half misleading.
