"Politically motivated assassinations"? Should we bring up the comparative list of politically-motivated extremist incidents in the US and see which side is enacting most of the violence?

    The Minnesota ones are particularly interesting. The Democrats had a one-seat advantage in both chambers of the Minnesota legislature. The assassin specifically targeted one Democratic member of each chamber. The Minnesota House is now tied, and the Senate will be tied until Hoffman is able to work or (or Minnesota allows it, I'm not sure) is about to designate someone to vote for him.

    There should be rules that disincentive assassination so this doesn't happen again.
