Too many leaders and political commentators who set an example for us to follow have led us into an abyss of violent rhetoric which, it should be no surprise, has led to violence. Yesterday was not the first time.

He fired into a locked door, to discover no children in chains. Bernie sanders has called the president the most dangerous in history, and the shooter yesterday was a sanders volunteer. You might think that no sane person would act on political hate speech, and youd be right. The trouble is, there are a lot of americans who struggle with mental illness.

And then he said, no, that doesnt worry me. As children, were taught words t ll never hurt me, but when you think about it, violence almost always begins with words. In twitter world, weve come to believe that our first thought is our best thought. Its past time for all of us president s, politicians, reporters, citizens all of us, to pause, to think again.
