To The Daily Sun,
Integrity, honesty, civility and empathy no longer exist in the USA. Contrary to Ms. Goss' opinion, the blood in Pittsburgh is on the hands of the shooter, NOT the GOP.
Unfortunately hate crimes are not new in this country (or the world) and that is exactly what this was a hate crime. As far as the virulent hatred is concerned; the talk shows and newscasts on TV, the reports and opinions in the papers, and the constant flow of antipathy towards OUR president on social media has done exponentially more to fan the flames of hatred in this country than anything the GOP has said.
The country is divided because BOTH sides are constantly pointing the finger at the other, instead of placing blame where it belongs. The shooting victims in Pittsburgh were killed by the sociopath that pulled the trigger, period.

You sir are narrowminded and foolhardy. While the shooter has certainly been an anti-semite for a long period of time, the issue you seem willing to ignore is the atmosphere of violence. The shooter said that Trump hasn't gone "far enough" with regards to the Jews, while he has also diminished them as well as encouraged acts of violence against the others. You are right that we cannot blame the GOP, but at the same exact time they have been stoking the fires of bias and racism and hatred that cannot but inflame the animousity already out there.
