    Other examples of recent attacks on politicians… Firebombed by man who disagreed about the “war” in Gaza.

    Imagine still calling it a war.

        This is very true for the pure WASP stock. It gets much broader once you start including catholics and poles.

    Must have done something to particularly piss off this person if they chose burning him alive as their method of attempted murder. This is an extremely personal choice over just shooting him twice and dipping.
