More political terrorism

In my mind, this isn't difficult. While I couldn't be more adamantly opposed to the political worldviews of Bill & Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, George Soros and Eric Holder, the fact potentially explosive devices were sent to them truly sickens me. And it should be appalling to any individual who has some semblance of a conscience, regardless of political stripes. 

If it's ascertained that the devices were sent by a right winger(s) with a political ax to grind, he/she/they should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. If it's determined these were "hoaxes" ginned up by a leftist(s) in an effort to paint righties as enacting violence to settle scores with Dems, he/she/they should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. 

Everything else, from charges that President Trump was insincere in his calls for unity in the face of this to CNN president Jeff Zucker essentially blaming POTUS and his press secretary for the bomb scare which occurred at his news network to debating moral equivalence on whose rhetoric results in more harm, is just background noise at this point. Unfortunately, it comes with the territory when there's violent crime or threats of violent acts. Too many people are uninterested in waiting for a substantive investigation to play, so we seem to play this game of whomever can score the most political points wins. 

At least the National Rifle Association didn't get blamed this time.....I think.
