The Trump case and Berisha: the bullets, not from Croocks but from thousands

Alfred Lela

The barrage directed at President Donald Trump is an act of pure political terrorism. This marks one of the most extreme cases of political polarization in the United States of America. What should remain is not the theory of the assassin as a 'lone wolf,' 'mentally defective,' or 'gun control,' but how political hate speech and defeating the opponent by extra-political means conceive Like that.

Donald Trump was not targeted by Mathew Croocks but by thousands of opponents and political commentators of the left who presented him and still see him as a danger to democracy. Those same hands turned themselves into danger for democracy yesterday.

The legal-political persecution, the witch-hunt, and the dehumanization of President Trump produced that political assassination that injured a presidential candidate took the life of an innocent, and wounded two others.

The creation of another Harvey Le Oswald in political America—the irony is that JFK's grandson is in this year's presidential race—is a fresh wound for this great country that, despite its flaws and problems, remains the world's largest democracy.

You can't get past the "Trump case" without comparing it to the "Berisha case." The similarities are all there: The persecution of Berisha by the courts in the last year, the physical assassination of him by a person who, like Crook, was described as a 'lone wolf,' 'mentally challenged,' etc., and especially the dehumanization continued by the progressive left and the remnants, not a few, of extreme communism in the country.

The last similarity is their resilience. Like Berisha, who continued the December 6 protest after being injured, Trump also raised a warrior's fist shortly after a bullet missed his life.
