They Murdered The Clown

This was the plan.

We wanted our leader to be seen as a real-life hero.

So at the rally, we put him in Kevlar with blood sacs so that when he got hit, he would still be standing and he could raise his fist. Who wouldn't vote for a super man like that?

Our gunman was to use blanks and aim for the body.

The idiot used live bullets and blew his head off.

We took the idiot out and then got the media to say the assassination was the other side. People believe anything they hear on television.

Our supporters started rioting all over the country.

Gun and ammunition sales are through the roof, I don't know where they are finding the money because no one is working now.

The government is gone and there is a sort of military law, but it is us against them.

Other countries have withdrawn support, they just expect us to kill each other.

And that is where we are, Civil War, and this won't end until there is no one left to fire a gun.
