      Ooh, @DamonLinker knows how to google 'abortion violence'. The notion they're comperable is silly enough to be self-refuting. @HeerJeet

      Lunatics on both sides resort to violence. Both issues see rank injustice, and a small number lose their sh-t.

      And the Dems are featuring an instigator of a narrative killing cops at their convention. It's a BIG difference. @DamonLinker @HeerJeet

      Question for you: Are you bothered 1 bit when a black citizen ends up dead at hands of armed agents of the state?

      An obscene question. Of course. But response has to concern itself w facts behind killing. Not false narratives. @DamonLinker @HeerJeet

      All this emphasis on "narratives" is very postmodern. "our side" is also concerned with facts.

      I don't see the need to re-litigate the death of a teenager on twitter or to dismiss the grief of his parents.

      The DNC convention isn't dismissing her grief. You are.

          In my experience, grief doesn't seek out the spotlight at the DNC convention. https://twitter.com/heerjeet/status/755410862052114432 … @HeerJeet @DamonLinker
