Globally, the threat of violence in authoritarian countries is a way of life for many. Increasingly, it is another point of legitimate worry in the United States. This threat of violence against journalists and the “liberal media” – especially as a “joke” with Milo Yiannopoulos and Donald Trump – is very dangerous and must be renounced, but not with violence. Stand up, speak out and take exception, but please do so peacefully in your words and actions. And please support your local community newspaper.
