When Dave Chappelle was attacked on stage this week, it was a reminder of both intra-racial violence and how dangerous it apparently is to be a comedian. Earlier that day, a shocking brawl also broke out for apparently no reason between students and adults at a school in Arizona. Later, riots rocked Los Angeles supposedly over abortion, as protesters gathered outside of the Supreme Court and chanted “hey hey, ho ho, fascist scum has got to go.” The irony shouldn’t be lost that such chants and coercive mob tactics, fascist in nature, are being used to intimidate the Supreme Court to overturn what at the moment is only a draft opinion on federally protected abortion that would simply allow State democracies to decide the law. Not to mention the Supreme Court of the United States literally has one job, to interpret the rule of law, the opposite of fascism. Clearly, some do not believe in the rule of law, democracy, justice, equality, free speech, self-defense, and especially the Republic. Beyond that, these behaviors are spread within a group in what the American Psychological Association calls 'social contagion'. Hysterical and emotionally driven unstable people demanding that they have it their way or they will act out in violence is the very definition of terrorism.
