    Nasty, intolerant liberalism, Antifa and the rest, offers the greatest danger to society

    Seems like the shooter was too far to the left

    How rich or famous do you have to be before you’re assassinated rather than just murdered?

    JFK was assassinated. I’ve seen the term used for John Lennon. But Jill Dando was just murdered, so the bar presumably is somewhere between her and that overrated Scouser.

    By dictionary definition...Assissination is
    murder for political or religious reasons.

    So Lennon should have been murdered not assissinated..

    Ghandi was assissinated whilst Versace was murdered even if the TV series aaid he was assissinated.

    I learn something new every day

    I'd say you have to be a leader of men (and women) to qualify for assassination. Perhaps even limited to a top political post, to remove them from their position, but not necessarily official. Martin Luther King for example was assassinated. Lennon and Dando were murdered.

    That’s what I was thinking but then a mate said “then why are they called political assassinations?”

    I think St Francis was also Assisi-nated.

    Is that a real picture? That big baldy fella needs to wind his neck in. He should get some therapy like his brother.
