On Saturday, June 14, when we drove to Walmart with my grandchild at Central and H streets, we caught the light twice and watched the demonstrators for about a minute or so each time. As I scanned the crowd, I was shocked to see three handmade signs and a few more printed signs that said “86 47.” Some were being held in what appeared to be family groups of grandparents, parents, siblings, and the family dog. Even more distressing was the other demonstrators who applauded these signs. What was most astonishing was these signs were being held and applauded by my fellow citizens and neighbors.
We lost Lincoln, McKinley, JFK, RFK, and MLK to the assassin’s bullet. We almost lost Teddy Roosevelt and Reagan to the assassin’s bullet. On June 14, a Minnesota politician and her husband were assassinated for their political beliefs. Assassination is never a way to solve our political differences and is never acceptable.
Those who carried the 86 47 signs sadly show that your parents, your teachers, and the rest of us in civilized society have failed. While you have the right to carry such signs, it is a very sad day for America that you believe, support, and want an assassination to solve our political differences instead of the ballot box.

The term to 86 someone does not reference assassination. It is a common term used in the bar and restaurant industry to kick out someone who has been detrimental to the patrons establishment. Americans have a perfect right to 86 a president who is lawless and defies our courts and constitution at every turn. I hope that if these signs made you upset, you were equally outraged when tea party activists held signs showing Barack Obama as a monkey or with a Hitler mustache. Somehow I think you probably just laughed at those.
