    I mean when Trump was shot at, people here had a quite similar sentiment.

    Also all the “violence is not part of american political culture” hurrdurrs of politicians and celebrities afterwards are just completely false. Violence and political violence are an integral part of American culture. I think no other country had as many successful and attempted assassinations of their presidents.

      I don’t think political violence is all that uncommon in the world. Since the 19th century Japan’s had 7 out of 64 PMs assassinated with another ~dozen plots or attempts.
