Kondor, I see the culpability of the media, the lefties, and the righties in this, yes.
It is many sided, not just one sided.
The LEO will crack heads right, left, and center as necessary.
Well, I must confess, that I am glad to see you acknowledging that the responsibility for fanning the flames can be rightfully assigned to elements across the entire political spectrum, and that it is not limited to one side or the other, and some of your earlier posting here might otherwise lead one to believe.
Well said, and thank you.
( this in no way impairs our mutual rights to throw bricks at substance here - merely indicative of a bit of common ground that most folks can probably buy into )
