   Stochastic terrorism is "the public demonization of a person or group resulting in the incitement of a violent act, which is statistically probable but whose specifics cannot be predicted." Donald Trump has been using social media to blast prosecutors, judges, and witnesses, and his followers have answered with calls for violence. If the ex-president is a stochastic terrorist, what should we do in response? https://thinkbigpicture.substack.com/p/donald-trump-stochastic-terrorist-threats

     I wish I could say what should be done. Oh, how I wish my thoughts meant anything. The angst he has caused us all is enough for much in an equal world.

     But I should not say anything else similar out of a sense of common decency.

     Except that some get what they deserve and some get what they do not. He deserves much and may get nothing….maybe.

     This is a test of our rule of law. Hopefully it prevails.
