The Senator is dead

As a country we have had to tough through many hard times, especially in the times of an assassination. We now must support each other more than ever in lieu of this death. Potentially the most brutal assassination ever in the history of this nation just happened mere days ago.

Our nation is enraged at this crime. After the funeral, all of the involved senators were reported missing and assumed in hiding. We went to the streets to find out what the people thought.
