Who does the author expect to be civil and not personalize the issues? Certainly not the Left, they have been uncivil for years. It’s an Alinsky thing.
The author seems to be upset that victims of the left are turning their own tactics back on them. I wonder why he is just noticing that now?
He sounds more like the family of a two-time felon who is killed during a home invasion, complaining that their son/cousin/brother should not have been shot.
Unfortunately, sometimes what goes around, comes around.
