First thought -- assassination is not new. It's been going on since the beginning of time. My parents reminded me long ago that the 60s and 70s were way more violent than things are today. They were blowing up police stations and stuff. Those guys got pardoned by Clinton.
I think we are all mature enough to realize that the people who think they rule over us are demonic in nature and think nothing of murder. (R) and (D) is just part of the show. They want something from us, and they need it desperately. Once you realize what that is, you realize what the "game" really is and you know how to win.(I am not spelling "the game" out for you. You have enough information to figure it out.)
Second thought -- your life hasn't changed (unless you are a close friend of family of Kirk.) Don't pretend it has.
Third thought -- this is the important one. Once it is time for action, the time for preparation has ceased. Are you prepared? If not, then it is not time for action, it is a time for preparation. So prepare!
If you are righteous, then you will not have hesitation when it is time to act. You will not hold back. You won't have second thoughts. Build up that morality and righteousness so when the time to act is upon you, you can act without restraint.
We are building a new world right now, every day, based on our actions. Choose to build a good world. Don't compromise with evil. Act decisively.
