The Broderick–Terry duel
The Broderick–Terry duel (subsequently called "the last notable American duel") was fought between United States Senator David C. Broderick, of California, and ex-Chief Justice David S. Terry, of the Supreme Court of California, on September 13, 1859. The two men had been friends and political allies within the Democratic Party. However, Broderick was an abolitionist, whereas Terry was pro-slavery. Intense political disagreements led to bitter resentments, which in turn led to a challenge to a duel and the fatal encounter in a ravine near Lake Merced in San Francisco.
May be time to bring back this age old tradition.

My first thought also. It would shut up so many leftist loudmouths proclaiming their want for death of many on the right like the clown running for AG in Virginia.
DeleteThe problem is most of these loudmouths today are cowards. They don't want to face another person in a fair fight in any format. They want to be free to ambush. They are the sort that would decline the duel, then shoot you in the back when you walk away.
DeleteAs evidenced by the number of trolls I have here, every single one of them posting as anon rather than backing up their mouths with a name.
DeleteOn that note, let me post a video encouraging more bicycle riding for those that are more enlightened than the rest of us.
