From what little we know so far (yes, I have been avoiding all the hoopla and folderol intentionally) it seems the shooter was spiraling down in the last couple months or so. Who knows if feeling like it would be okay to talk to someone about those feelings was more acceptable whether this could have been averted, I have no idea. And we may never know.

Guns are not at fault.

Look how many people Timothy McVeigh and cohort killed with a few readily purchased ingredients. Yet there's no move to outlaw fertilizer, is there?

And while I know our justice system is based on "innocent until proven guilty," it always strikes me as a little twisted that broadcaster call this man "the alleged shooter." Like there's any doubt? Hello????
I was being facetious.

I also love the idea that Dr Drew and all the other kooks on TV are trying to figure out if this guy is crazy.

Uh, you think?

Everyone has a certain 'bent' -I am a person who sees a sign or warning and immediately want to do the opposite.

Am I crazy? I think so, but I try not to succumb so easily to my stupdity/urges.

I draw the line at stopping a fan with my tongue.
