Assassination highlights larger trend of political violence

Cole Allen’s attempt to kill the U.S. president and other members of the administration at the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner on Saturday highlights a growing trend of political violence in America, the Wall Street Journal reported yesterday. It cites statistics from the Center for Strategic and International Studies showing domestic anti-government violence to be at its highest rate in more than 30 years, with the majority of perpetrators from the political left, for the first time in about 20 years. The Bible prophesies that America’s political violence will worsen further, to the point of erupting into civil war.
