The Dangers of Assassination:

Recently Donald J. Trump had an assassination attempt foiled earlier today. This made me think what are the consequences of assassination? When a politician, figure head, or President is assassinated within the U.S. it can only bring harm no matter how disliked he/ she is. For when a politician/ President/ figure head is assassinated it causes for the U.S. to look weak and to overreact with more crushing policies. Also when a politician, figure head, or President is assassinated they are almost always looked at in a positive way, so the reasoning behind assassination becomes erased and the person goes down as a hero in American history regardless of their record. Also this type of violent action can cause for more types of violence to break out due to the seeming "simplicity" of the crime. This can ultimately lead to political parties protesting, riots, and even higher crime rates. So before you go around saying that you would "totally assassinate someone" if you had the chance think of the destruction you could potentially cause.
