You better hope nobody does, or you'll be held morally responsible, apparently.

And so it goes...xoB feels the need to one-up the discussion.

People are making so many assumptions that fit with their own point of view.
Even a day later, there is NO information that points to the motives of this shooter
Instead, the only information the news media has come up with
is pointing towards pre-existing mental problems.

Arizona Suspect’s Recent Acts Offer Hints of Alienation
By ERIC LIPTON, CHARLIE SAVAGE and SCOTT SHANE
Published: January 8, 2011

Quote:
No quotes from me, just read the article to see if you can find any political motivations.

If one just has to find a political motivation, there's a closer tie in to a different victim... Chief Justice Roll.
His decision in a recent immigration case ran seriously counter to the prevailing mood in Arizona .

NY Times
Amid Shock, Recalling Judge’s Life of Service
By JOHN SCHWARTZ

Quote:
John M. Roll, the chief federal judge in Arizona, was fatally wounded
in the attack near Tucson on Saturday that killed five others and wounded at least 18 people,
including Representative Gabrielle Giffords.

So far, the prevailing assumption is that the shooter went to the scene with premeditation.
No one has even posited that the shooter was in the store by coincidence,
and came outside to the confusion of flags and people around him, and then just went off his rocker.
I know my senario is not likely, but I use it to point out the lack of information at this point in time.

For all this to lead a discussion for a call to kill someone else is beyond me.

The pen[keyboard] is mightier than the sword[gun] ..

Temperance is a forgotten virtue.
