The Disease Is Spreading
Jo Cox MP dead after shooting attack:
An MP has died after she was shot and stabbed in a “horrific” assault in her constituency, police have said.
Jo Cox, Labour MP for Batley and Spen, was left bleeding on the ground after the attack in Birstall, West Yorkshire. A man was arrested nearby.
One eyewitness told the BBC they heard her attacker shout “put Britain first” at least twice beforehand.
This guy shot her three times and then stabbed her as she was on the ground. Other witnesses did not hear the “put Britain first”. Britain is having a referendum on leaving the EU [Brexit] on the 23rd, and Ms Cox has been campaigning to stay in the EU, but the voters will be making decision, not members of Parliament.
The shooter had a white baseball cap and in one photo was wear a camouflage jacket, looking more like he was from Alabama than Yorkshire.
The last time an MP was killed was in 1990.

And if I recall correctly, the IRA, an organized terrorist group, took credit for that killing in 1990. Not some random dude off the street.
Yep, it was an IRA bombing offensive, a bomb under the MP’s car.
