Then why did Violet Gibson try to kill Mussolini, not someone less well protected? If you want to cause as much murder as possible, shouldn't you kill a policeperson or a pacifist activist rather than a fascist dictator?
The same reason Thomas Mair killed Jo Cox.
Violet Gibson tried to kill Mussolini because she, a fanatic fascist, considered him a traitor to his race?
Because she wanted to make a point by killing someone. I don’t think that’s plaque worthy
