As the person who first posted the story about Fuller yesterday and said he sounded so thoughtful, I want to say that nothing, not even being shot at by a lunatic, excuses making death threats against people whose responsibility is at best some distance removed from what happened. Or any death threats at all, actually.

All these guys (and gals) mouthing off about shooting and killing their opponents reminds me of my little brother, when he was about five, yelling about how he was going to burn down a restaurant that had served him a bad hamburger. He grew out of that sort of reaction. Evidently Mr. Fuller, like so many other Americans, unfortunately has not.
