Is a Facebook spat really worthy of front-page coverage?
But regardless, First Amendment, anyone? The Government (the city) cannot enforce standards for the speech of any of us; it is flatly unconstitutional. I wonder if those decrying "divisive rhetoric" from local leaders (this includes Mayor Morris) have ever looked at former Dundee Mayor and perennial congressional candidate DL Russ's personal FB page or his aggressive conspiratorial page "It's All Your Backyard"? That is the pinnacle of political divisiveness (and unhinged content). Or former commissioner Berschauer's, for that matter...

Peralta spoke the truth. We'd better recognize that or admit we're taken in by the Nazi/KKK maga message. It would have been better if the shooter had chosen to demonstrate against Kirk outside the area, but he was probably afraid of violent retribution by the far right crowd or Kirk's guards. Rather diabolical, isn't it?
