There's something going on for sure. For many years, we were able to have sports without death threats.
I suspect it has something to do with the current attempts to manipulate people. We have news and politicians trying to pit us against each other and calling for violence against non-violent people. It's the Jose took your lunch kind of thing, and the conditioning feels like it's running rampant.
I worry about Canada; I don't think your people are emulating it. I think they're being influenced and are the next target.
I'm awfully tired of unprecedented times, but I fear we're setting the new bar for precedent.
