A few minutes later, members of the media received a message from the New York chapter of the Sons of Liberty claiming responsibility and warning that other executions would be forthcoming. The reasons given for the killings were Senator Sherman’s vote to increase the debt limit, his advocacy to fund a number of projects the group claimed were unconstitutional, and his instrumental role in the passage of the National ID Card Act, which requires people to carry a biometric tracking device or face arrest and imprisonment.
These killings fall on the heels of the assassinations of U.S. Senators and representatives in Los Angeles and Kansas City and two New York City council members who supported New York City’s controversial stop and frisk policy that allows police to stop and frisk individuals without a warrant or probable cause.
“We have it in our power to begin the world over again.”
Thomas Paine
