I am not the only person seriously concerned about the rise of political violence. In a syndicated column of a few days ago, Thomas Lipscomb focused on polling place disruption, in particular, along with attacks on campaign offices. He brought out the fact that even Warren Christopher, architect of Gore's challenge to the 2000 election is now concerned.

I am no lawyer, but I have to wonder of conspiracy statutes, including RICO, can possibly be applied, if evidence is developed of coordination. Of course, it may be that we are seeing a mass psychosis, with spntaneous uncoordinated violence. OI am not certain which alternative is worse.
