Ganging up on a wrong idea is good policy, not necessarily tribalism. Once we find out more about where this guy got his ideas, then I think going after them is justified.

Proceeding to be a little bitter here. Don’t mind me.

His ideas? What are we going to do if he got his ideas from being mentally ill, which is a very strong possibility? If he thinks he’s the Joker, what kind of ‘idea’ is that?

This tragedy is basically being turned into another pretext for a vicious week-long food fight about gun control, after which we will reset to normal, until the next one. I hate to sound cynical, but everyone was ready to go, right away, with their prepackaged response, whether that was “Dear God, we must get rid of these guns” or “Hey, stop blamin’ me, I’m a good gun owner, SECOND AMENDMENT FOREVER!!!”

We don’t even wait to find out what happened.

And when this is pointed out, what do we say? “But it’s important, because the other guys are EVIL.”

Sure. Everyone have a ton of fun with that. I’ll wait to see how it actually does jack shit for American society.
