There were three horrible acts of hate this week. These kind of acts are not what start a Civil War. The three events this week - the pipe bomber, the guy who tried to enter a black Church in Louisville and killed two blacks in a Walmart instead, and the mass killings in the Jewish Synagogue - they were motivated by politics, race and faith hatred. I usually dismiss these mass killings as "nut cases" but maybe that is too simple of an EXCUSE. America is divided by ideology and I guess it could come to Civil War but what I see is more simple - just plain HATE. A nation does not go to Civil War over hate. There is simply a lot of hate out there.
This nails it! One could make the case that our first Civil War was a consequence of the same problem.
