I guess people are trying to find the appropriate response, which is that no one should get assassinated for political dialogue. However, it almost feels too late for that, and it all goes back to the President and his supporters, who have been preaching violence since way back when Donald Trump was suggesting that Hillary Clinton should be assassinated in 2016. So you can't fault the people who now see the connection between the rhetoric and the actions of a sick country.
