    When those in power choose to ignore the people they represent, then what other options are there?

    Essentially you’re saying elected representatives can use their children as human shields so they can do whatever they want.

      Oh I don’t know, off the the top of my head… Elect people who will represent the people accordingly, run for office and be the change you want to see, move to another town/state that is more in line with your beliefs. It’s certainly not to assassinate those and their family members that I feel aren’t living up to my standards.

      Never said anything remotely close to that.

      And you’re saying thise kids deserve to have their lives endangered because of whatever stupid decisions their parents are making? The kids don’t have a say in anything, and they can’t leave! This person was too much of a coward to take this action to wherever the councilperson works. Nobody cares about innocent lives lost anymore.

      And also, the more this sort of thing happens, the less people will want to put their families in potential danger. You will get fewer good, quality people running for any office.
