Civil Society Under Fire (Tom Ashbrook, On Point)

Thank God it wasn’t worse yesterday at that baseball field in Alexandria, Virginia. Fifty rounds fired by an enraged 66-year-old at Republican Congress members and staffers practicing baseball! Several wounded. The House majority whip in critical condition. We can’t pretend it’s the first time. American political discourse has grown so harsh. So ugly. So violent. This hour On Point: American civil society under fire, and we how we turn this around. -- Tom Ashbrook
