Political violence on the rise.

People are getting angry when people have Political views they don't agree with. Freedom of speech must be allowed not shutdown.

Tragic news of a young family man shot by someone today. Please remember he was a human with a family. Violence is never ok.

if people are on their social media accounts please remember to disable auto play videos and to turn on the option to sensor distressing images/videos.

his poor wife and young children.

I understand most images have been removed. Should never be allowed to be shared. Children shouldn't be exposed to that type of content.

I think it is important to emphasise however that the US isn’t the UK and they face different problems to us.

Terribly sad for this man and his family.

The UK doesn’t have the same gun violence issue as the US.

Does your support of freedom of speech in the US include students protesting on campus against Israeli military action?

I've read the flags thread here on mn. Such nastiness towards people around flags. Nastiness around left and right Political views. Debate but not hatred, nastiness and violence. Tragic.
