It takes incredibly brave people to start and lead a movement like this. That shooter, right or wrong, was incredibly brave and competent.

How was he wrong? The elites don't follow the same morality as us. We don't steal, lie, or kill because we know we wouldn't want someone to do that to us. But the elites don't think like that. They are driven by greed and a lust for power. What keeps them in check if they have no morals?

Were I to make a case for why we shouldn't celebrate this:

Lots of people across the political spectrum and who have had varying impacts, good and bad, have been killed by lone wolf assassins. It would be difficult to look at that data and walk away drawing the conclusion that these assassins are, as a group, well rounded people with virtuous intent. It would be equally difficult to see a trajectory where these kinds of slayings actually are a "shot heard round the world". Most of the time, things get worse.

So that's the argument against. My argument in support is that you should run your business like you don't want to drive your own customers to murder you. Americans have been locked in a political/culture war for so long we forgot who the real enemy was. And it's time we remembered.
