re: #5 Daniel Ballard

The shooters motive according to witness reports was political. Which just muddies up the waters as to how mentally ill this guy might be as opposed to a calculating attempted killer with an agenda on his mind. While rw violence may be the more common type, we obviously have had and can again have violence from those of almost any political persuasion.

But of all the millions who might agree with the shooters point of view, what makes one of them an attempted killer as opposed to just a talker? Our culture must address this.

Nope. We’re quite comfortable with the year-to-year body count. The unique character of this election cycle (coughhe’sblackcough) just raises the visibility. There is almost no significant policy directed at 3.14 million people that will not kill some number of us.
