That you don't seem concerned or think this sort of thing is all 'just the way things are' speaks unkindly to your character in my opinion.
Also, the hollowest of hollow remarks, "They did it too."

I'm sorry Public service in the form as a political representative is not meant to be an easy job, if you cant stand the backlash of the decisions that you and your party make, then step down.
Does that mean politicians should be subject to violent attacks? No but thats why we have the RCMP and other law enforcement agencies to deal with events as such.
You cant avoid this, gaussian distribution of a large population size (Alberta population 4.1M+) guarantees these "events" (events that are divergent of whats considered normal - IE what is socially acceptable to the general population versus some ####### spewing violent remarks) will happen. It cannot be avoided (unless the population size is reduced several orders of magnitude).
So in short, dont go into politics unless you have thick skin, because it will be tested, its mathematically unavoidable.
