A 24-year-old woman stormed the stage, yelling, "Do you want Trump to be assassinated?"

Does she really not know the answer to that question?

Interesting to read about the assassination of Julius Caesar. The supposed motivation was to restore the freedoms of the Roman Republic. A group of senators believed that Julius Caesar had too much power, and wanted to become a king. There were plotters who also hated him for various humiliating acts and statements. So they got rid of him, but the people of Rome were not all that happy with the results. Marc Antony was Caesar’s protege and thought he might inherit the name and wealth, but it went instead to Octavian, who then (after a civil war that had several stages and lasted over a decade) became Augustus Caesar, the first of many Roman emperors.

So the plot backfired and led to almost exactly the end result that it was supposed to prevent. And Rome enjoyed its most prosperous and glorious times anyway.
