Blog #130 The Left Commits Political Violence

The left's assassination fixation only further normalizes political violence

The left's assassination obsession is escalating alarmingly and is being tacitly endorsed in all the wrong places. Some, like Elon Musk, believe it may be orchestrated.

How else do you explain why lefty tech publication Wired has published a story and helpful YouTube video describing how to build a copycat replica of the ghost gun allegedly used by Luigi Mangione to murder UnitedHealth CEO Brian Thompson last December?

The senior writer, Andy Greenberg, who covers hacking, cybersecurity and surveillance for Wired, boasts he used a 3D printer to create an "exact clone" of Mangione's Glock-style handgun, "down to the stippling on the weapon's plastic grip."

YouTube let the video rip despite a policy strictly prohibiting content showing how to make firearms, ammunition or gun accessories.

A week after Israeli DC Embassy employees Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Lynn Milgrim were assassinated by an unhinged leftist in Washington, DC, the Condé Nast magazine's do-it-yourself gun video is still up on YouTube.

Don't tell us this is an oversight by YouTube when it regularly cracks down on gun enthusiasts for far less explicit content.

After two assassination attempts on Donald Trump during the 2024 election campaign; when Mangione became a cult heartthrob; Musk had to travel with up to 20 armed bodyguards; and even former FBI Director James Comey flirts with assassination memes, we can see where this is heading.
