Compare and contrast: Violet Gibson and Thomas Mair. Different politics, same agenda.

This makes no sense.

Personally I think putting up a plaque celebrating someone with mental health problems and a revolver, who attempted to murder someone doesn’t make any sense.

Murder was the agenda

Then why did Violet Gibson try to kill Mussolini, not someone less well protected? If you want to cause as much murder as possible, shouldn't you kill a policeperson or a pacifist activist rather than a fascist dictator?

The same reason Thomas Mair killed Jo Cox.

Violet Gibson tried to kill Mussolini because she, a fanatic fascist, considered him a traitor to his race?

Because she wanted to make a point by killing someone. I don’t think that’s plaque worthy
