Murder Is Bad (Remember?)
Briefly

In Portland, individuals across the political spectrum have shockingly expressed a desire for violence against prominent political figures like Elon Musk, Joe Biden, and Donald Trump. This trend of discussing murder as a potential solution reveals a troubling level of frustration and anger within the community. Rather than promoting dialogue or understanding, these impulsive thoughts reflect a larger societal issue where violent outcomes are considered as potential answers to complex political problems.
It's disturbing to hear fellow Portlanders, regardless of their political views, casually discuss murder as a solution to political problems. This reflects a larger societal anger and frustration.
The idea that killing a political figure would solve our issues is not only outrageous but highlights a failure to engage in constructive dialogue and empathy.
