After the attempted Trump assassination, the media quickly tried to pivot back to its usual “the other side is a threat to democracy” rhetoric, but even while the media floods the zone with Kamala gushing and Trump gnashing, the ugly reality is that it has unleashed violence that it cannot and does not intend to control.

A Michigan man who allegedly ran over an elderly man with an ATV and vandalized vehicles — in what police say were politically motivated incidents — has been found dead.

Since this is the media, only in the final half do you find out what the motivation was.

On Sunday, Hancock police responded to three incidents that appeared to be politically motivated. Police say the victims displayed political yard signs for former President Donald Trump and law enforcement appreciation flags and stickers.

In two of the incidents, the suspect intentionally vandalized vehicles, according to a release from Hancock Police Chief Tami Sleeman.

Then, at 5:45 p.m., officers responded to the 1600 block of Anthony St. after the same suspect driving an ATV allegedly intentionally drove through a yard and ran over an 80-year-old man who was putting up a political sign in his front yard.

I’m sure a black woman run over by a white man while putting up Kamala signs would be covered in the same exact way, with the crucial information buried in the 5th paragraph, but enough of that.

Was this the offender’s first time? I doubt it. There were three incidents in just one day. The perp appeared to be dressed all in black. This particular kind of violence has been normalized and even celebrated, momentarily deplored when it appears to go too far, and then rewarded all over again.

I don’t doubt we’ll find ACAB gear or stickers, lots of angry political rants, and an addiction to Occupy Democrats or even worse stuff. We just won’t be talking about it.
