She didn't deserve to have her life ended in such a terrible manner - regardless of your opposing political beliefs this is a terrible and heinous act.

This is shocking, I’m lost for words

Love her or hate her this was truly cowardly. Absolutely incapable of defending herself against a violent attack.
