Great post about something so contentious to so many.
I didn't like him myself, but equally, I don't think he deserves to be shot dead in front of his family.
It saddens me how this will cause further divide. As someone who classifies themselves as far left and pro non-violence, it is a shame that so many say the "Far Left" are violent when so many of us just want peace and equality for everyone.
Regardless its going to be a bumpy few months!

Many on the "far right" also value peace and oppose the neo-nazis and police state BS associated with "the right" in mainstream discourse, instead valuing market exchange, property rights, and traditional values. The internet magnifies the malcontents on all sides, and some tak the online words into real-world actions. We're trapped in a world where the false dichotomy of partisan politics is used by some to harm others.
For lack of a better term, I am a Christian Anarchist. I reject the legitimacy of political institutions, which places me on "the left," but I personally favor market exchange and historic Christian theology, which although often in opposition to arbitrary political authority, is still associated with "the right."
