Apparently, assassination is being replaced by the word murder to escalate the drama here. It's a sad event, and certainly is upsetting due to her connection to MLK, but this reads as another case of mental illness and gun violence.

I'm trying to understand why this is being called assassination rather than murder. The content of the post seems to suggest the latter.

I think Missouri is the one who wants to avoid John Brown.

They call that Irish twins. Siblings who are in the same year at school but not actually twins. My mum has one, her sister is 11 months younger (they are actually also Irish).

Yea that's why men have better scores in math and lead in math related industries?

Julien Edelman bailed rather quickly as he grew tired of being asked to give some insight into the evolution of the market economy in the southern colonies.

The difference being, by banning any professor from sleeping with any undergrad, the correct analogy would be banning any doctor from sleeping with any patient using the hospital, not just the ones under his/her care.

Racist clickbait....new low.

Yay Hyperbole!

Where the flying fuck do I start?

I'm not surprised, given the fact that on most articles where a man does something bad to a woman a large chunk of the commenters will say things like "I hope he dies a slow painful death" and "I hope he gets raped in prison and dies" etc. Jezebel commenters are apparently brutal psychopaths. :\

Please restore my faith in humanity, and say you were joking.

I just can't believe both the flippant (and somewhat [though I'm sure unintentional] non-sequitur-ial tone of this article [pretty sure South Africa has a set of social traumas outside the Bushes and Jenny McCarthy) and the already long stack of comments condoning physical violence and vigilante justice in this…
