Assassinations and What Not

Assassinations, let's face it, have been around for almost since the dawn of time and space. Okay, maybe not that far back, but probably when we became at least a little civilized. I'm talking about post cave man, of course, though no one would be too sure. Obviously, when someone doesn't like someone, they try their best to take them out. A too well known example of this is with politics. I mean, which political party hasn't tried to take their opponent out? Most of them, I'm sure. So when someone you don't like is a leader of thousands or millions or whatever fits the description, you try your best to exterminate them. This thinking leads to that assassinations occur because people (leaders, celebrities, role models, etc.) are seen as threats and so some people want to eliminate them. Honestly, I don't think assassinations are justifiable. Most of them happened a long time ago, and so we wouldn't know which side of the story was right. We always put the person who was assassinated in the right side. Most of the time, it seems right. Like Martin Luther King Jr., for example. He was assassinated for having different ideas than other people, and so he had to be killed. In my opinion, you can't just kill someone for disagreeing with you. I think that people assassinated others because they didn't want ideas opposing their beliefs to spread among the people. In conclusion, I do believe that assassinations are wrong and totally not justifiable.
