CNN's @VanJones68 says he fears there will be a portion of America that will seek to lionize the #WHCD shooter in much the same way Luigi Mangione has….
"Well, I thought the President did well. I'm starting to worry about something, though, which is that the shooter survived, which means on Monday, he's going to court,which means there is a danger that people try to make him some sort of hero.
You watch what happened with Luigi, who shot a CEO to death, and somehow became a hero. So, they said, tonight you saw the worst of America. You saw the best of America. Tonight, you definitely saw the best of America. I hope on Monday, we don't see the worst.
Again, this I just want to say very clearly, this kind of despicable behavior has no place in America. It has no place on the right. It has no place on the left. We don't know if he was there because he wanted to hurt Democrats or Republicans. Both were there.
We don't know if he wanted to hurt journalists or politicians. Both were there.
This kind of behavior has no place in America, and it is – it is wrong. Violence is not the way to resolve any grievances, and this cheerleader culture for violence, for people who think that the answer to our problems is to go shooting billionaires, or going to synagogues, or all these different things, has to be called out immediately. The minute it starts, every single person with a platform must denounce it, or we're going to see this again."
