"emphasis was on the Atlanta Court House killings and the Nichols killing spree. As well it should have been. Nichols killed a judge in a court. Killing judges in courts is barbaric and is anarchaic. We will never survive as a civilization if we allow people to assassinate our public officials. What happened in Brookfield, Wisconsin, today, was a random act of violence. What happened in Atlanta was anarchy, meant to destroy our basic faith in our system. The Atlanta assault along with the murders of Judge Lefkow's Mother and Husband should put us all on notice that we must protect our public officials"
You believe in the class system. Some people are more important than others.
An attack on public servants is an attack on the entire people and their civilization.
Someone shooting a police officer or a judge has not just killed an individual. They have expressed their contempt for the very underpinnings of civilized society. They have committed a crime against us all, and they deserve to pay a higher price for that crime.
