These attacks need to be treated as terrorism, in addition to attempted murder.

On a more positive note, the police who provided security for today's rally in Madison physically blocked the approaches with police vehicles. That needs to become standard practice.

This is exactly why red states have laws defending the driver in such circumstances. Wish I were kidding.

I’d disagree solely on the basis that I believe terrorism charges would elevated it to federal crimes which could then give Donnie a pardon mechanism. Let’s leave them as State crimes and pile on as many as possible.

I hadn't thought about that angle, but you are certainly right!
