Speaking of violent rhetoric

[herdfan429]

the New York Times had 5 novelist wrote short stories about how the mueller probe will end. One of them wrote about trumps assassination.

“When it was time, he went downstairs, took his place in the lobby before the entourage appeared. The hotel staff had been lined up to see their boss, the president, go by. A few of them applauded. Most did not.

The president didn’t seem to notice. He waved, in his desultory fashion. The Secret Service agents clustered around him, ushered him toward the armored limo idling outside at the curb.

The Russian waited until they were a few steps past before he drew the gun. He sighted on the center of the president’s back, and squeezed the trigger.

The Makarov misfired.

The Secret Service agent at the president’s shoulder heard the click, spun into a crouch. He registered the scene instantly, drawing his own weapon with razor-edge reflexes.

The Russian tasted failure. He closed his eyes and waited to pay the cost.

It did not come.

He opened his eyes. The Secret Service agent stood before him, presenting his Glock, butt first.

“Here,” the agent said politely. “Use mine. …””

If everyone is screeching to tone down the rhetoric how is this allowed to make it to print?

As dumb as you are, have you ever misidentified a 10 year old boy's shoulder for his penis during your bodyrubs?

What does your reply have to do with the thread?

As to the OP, it's only violent if the right does it.

It's been a while since I was in one of those learnin' places, but seems I remember fiction and rhetoric are usually two different things. Tasteless? Sure.

Looks like I have to dumb it down for you, too.

Rhetoric, as the body rubber used in his title, is using motivational/persuasive tactics. A novelist writing about a Russian attempting to assassinate cheeto and then a Secret Service member doing it, is not attempting to persuade a Russian/SS agent.

My post was to call him out for making such a dumb attempt, hence starting my post with "As dumb as you are . . . "

Yeah because it’s from a fiction writer means it won’t potentially trigger some psycho
