This is sad. I don't know anything about UK politics, but I read an obituary and she sounded like a good person. (Don't read the comments: http://www.independent.co.uk/news/people/jo-cox-obituary-the-labour-mp-who-campaigned-tirelessly-for-refugee-children-a7086141.html )
"Many newcomers struggle to stand out from the Commons crowd, but the former head of humanitarian campaigning at Oxfam made an instant impact. She called repeatedly for Britain to do more to help the victims of Syria’s civil war. She knew what she was talking about: she was still in regular contact with friends and former colleagues in the aid world working to help refugees in the region. "

It's gross american gun nuts are using this woman's murder to push their "see, gun control doesn't work" agenda. From what i've read and heard, she stood for a lot of things those people are against.

So awful. The description of how she was slaughtered is so brutal. My heart goes out to her husband and family.
