TPM has a scary-as-hell story about someone who apparently considered the Census Bureau Worker "Fed" Killer a role model:

[A] California man has been indicted by a federal grand jury after allegedly writing a deranged and racist email screed that urged recipients to "kill the 'president,'" and seemed to invoke the recent death of a Census Bureau worker in an apparent act of anti-government violence.

The scoffers who ridicule those of us who find the increasing crescendo of public hate speech and threats terrifying and worthy of reporting to the Secret Service, read this indictment in full.

It's pretty obvious that acts of violence trigger more acts of violence, that hate speech can push an unstable person into committing a crime, and that we're headed in a very wrong, very worrisome direction.

This has to stop. Memo to public officials: Let Americans know that it's time to tone down the toxicity. Now.
