The immigration issue and referrendum really has people pissed off. The cynical part of me wonders if this wasnt intentional to garner sympathy for the pro-EU stance before the vote... Also, sounds like the gun may have been homemade.

Jo Cox, Labour MP for Batley and Spen, was left bleeding on the ground after the attack in Birstall, West Yorkshire. A man was arrested nearby.
One eyewitness told the BBC they heard her attacker shout "put Britain first" at least twice beforehand.
Tributes flooded in from politicians including David Cameron, Jeremy Corbyn and US Secretary of State John Kerry.
Mrs Cox's husband Brendan said she would want people "to unite to fight against the hatred that killed her."
Vote Leave and Remain have both suspended campaigning in the EU referendum in light of the attack.
Mrs Cox, 41, is the first sitting MP to be killed since 1990, when Ian Gow was the last in a string of politicians to die at the hands of Northern Irish terror groups.
The man taken into custody was arrested in Market Street, not far from Birstall Library where Mrs Cox was holding a constituency surgery. He has been named locally as Tommy Mair.
Hundreds of Mrs Cox's friends and colleagues gathered for a vigil at St Peter's Church in Birstall earlier.
Every pew was full as people packed into the church for the emotional service.
MPs including Yvette Cooper hugged and consoled each other as it ended.

You think someone killed her so people would vote remain...are you fucking mental?
Some people are saying the "Britain first" statement is false. That the killer never yelled those words.
Maldini2706 - You think someone killed her so people would vote remain...are you fucking mental?I said the cynical part of me... But no I don't. I think it's likely she was either killed for her position and stance.
But I've been around too long not to be incredibly cynical about politics.

According to an eye witness he never heard him say "Britain First"

Good to see the British people dealing with traitors.
Testiculos Ferro - Good to see the British people dealing with traitors.Wow, really!?
I don't care how much I disagree with someone's stance or politics, I'm not going to revel in a mother of 2 young children being murdered.
You're a piece of shit...

I get he is probably internet trolling. But I have to admit the thought did cross my mind, even though I don't want our political debates/society to turn into civil war and violence and shootings. Not at all. And don't condone her murder.
But I do get how this unabashed promotion and boosting of "diversity" and the forced PERMANENT changes to our Western societies could be seen as traitorous. Key word is PERMANENT, unlike many other ideas and policies that can be adapted, reversed, tweaked and whatnot. The fact that some openly boast and revel in the fact our "Western style" society is going away forever because of their policies is even more maddening.
