memory:

"Will someone commit violence in USA because they printed a cartoon or performed an abortion?"

The PTB will commit violence in the USA to get rid of politics that threaten them. And they'll do the same internationally. And they'll use and manipulate people to assist them with their dirty work as well.

Also, the US long ago had the first 'murdered over a movie' event in Washington DC. A police officer and a journalist were killed by Muslim extremists offended at a film which they believed portrayed Mohammad, although the film did not do so, was made by Muslims and did not depict the Prophet nor his wives, children, sons-in-law nor any of the first Caliphs. The extremists attacked a B'nai B'rith hall in DC, because of a film they thought might offend them. 1976.

There was an arson in a crowded gay bar in Seattle last year. I sometimes think my fellow Americans have no memories.

14. How many women's clinics have been bombed, doctors killed already?

Dr Tiller had been shot before by Shelley Shannon before O'Reilly's campaign.

The Centennial Park Bomber (Rudolph) also bombed a women's clinic and a gay club.

I can't even list how many clinics have been torched, bombed or vandalized or name all the murdered doctors.
