This kind of thing becomes common when a government consistently acts against the will of the majority of the population.
EDIT: Don't mistake my words for the support of violence. I am simply saying it is inevitable when the public is consistently ignored.
I'm not sure you are properly attributing the motive in this case. Either that or I'm misunderstanding your point, which is possible.
My guess is angry magas.
Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall weighed in on the issue on Friday. Marshall said he “has no intention of using the recent Alabama Supreme Court decision as a basis for prosecuting IVF families or providers,”
I think it's far more likely that whoever did this was upset about embryos being ruled to be people. I doubt they had heard what the AG said and if they did I doubt they believed it.
Yeah but I don't think the AG's office had anything to do with the ruling as it was a civil wrongful death case between private parties, so it makes no sense to bomb AG's office.
I suppose we'll see as the investigation unfolds.
The far right is not the majority of the population.
The majority voted for the people who wanted to keep abortion legal.
This is the act of someone who knows they can't win at the ballot box.
Exactly. When all peaceful means of democratic governance are ignored, violence becomes inevitable.
Nothing is being ignored. Your side just wants violence for violence sake.
Which side do you think I'm on?
Id love to see your list of "all peaceful means". I'm willing to bet it's very short.
You have this backwards. This is very likely a minority (MAGA) outraged that their minority view (no IVF) will not be enforced. They are bombing the attorney general that said he will not enforce it.
If you have the numbers, you protest as a show of force. If you don't, you terrorize as a show of force.
If you have the numbers of people with the money and time to protest, yes. Though that hasn’t done much to sway the Supreme Court.
They were never supposed to be accountable to the electorate (it was obviously a bad call with hindsight). The way the system was designed, that should fall to Congress... but they've been derelict for decades now.
It's generally the other way around, where an individual with an opposing extreme view has to be louder than usual due to being silenced by numbers.
In this case the minority is in control and ignoring the majority.
