Interesting start-up idea - shooting galleries where people would pay to take a shot at their 'favorite' politicians. This could be a money-maker in today's political climate.

A visitor adjusts an air rifle as his girlfriend finds their disliked politican at the 'Kill Your Politician' exhibit at the Roxy/NoD Galery in Prague. Portraits of all 200 members of Czech Chamber of Deputies are displayed at the exhibition where people are allowed to shoot the politicians they dislike.

I wonder whose face would bring in the most $$ here in the US of A? Lots of current possibilities out there.

Too bad....
Too bad shooting at some would be considered "Hate Speech".

Yup. DHS and the Justice Dept would be swarming like flies.

A turning point....
In the days of Colonial Rule, Pre-USA, North America, (circa, 1776), protesters lynched life sized, well dressed, scarecrows, hanging them high in the streets. Torches, mobs and signs where all utilized resources well before the creation of the internet.
Seems the desire has always remained, just the delivery of tactics have changed. Another example of civil unrest, but I kinda miss the theatrics of more creative events.

Isn't that the truth?
Misogynist, misandrist, sexist, islamaphobe, racist.....not to mention all of us a bunch of terrorists! no doubt about that! I wonder how quickly the new work camps would be built ......coldest regions of Alaska or the hottest part of the southwestern desert?? <shuddering>

And then Holder would push for an air rifle ban.

(snickering) During a particularily nasty BF dumping, he was the dumpee.
I xeroxed a handflul of his photos... face shots... pinned them to the target. It definitely improved my aim. I called them 'teaching aids'.
One could simply offer political 'teaching aids' in addition to the more common targets.
