They found that those who hold racist, xenophobic, and transphobic beliefs and negative attitudes toward gay people are more likely to support political violence and be inclined to commit lethal acts."
Two recent studies from the Centers for Violence Prevention at the University of California, Davis, aim to understand how political acts of violence are linked to certain beliefs and support of specific organizations. Their findings are striking.

Quienes estudiamos relaciones civil-militares en América Latina debemos entender el evento de ayer en EUA como una señal de la línea que los ministerios de defensa pueden seguir:

Saw a former AH-64 pilot question whether a maintenance dude who disliked K*rk could be trusted to conduct maintenance on an a/c flown by pilots he believed to be conservatives. They are running with this.
