Arguing in the comments section about various shooter's political proclivities might be one of the most counter productive disagreements we as people can participate in, seriously. Mental illness is the only common denominator here. To suggest that one belief or another is so out of whack that it's followers would justify shooting at strangers is ludicrous. Sane people dont randomly shoot strangers. Politics and religion have always attracted fanaticism and mentally ill people, all flavors and from all sides. This has nothing to do with politics and "rhetoric" and everything to do with obsessiveness and mental illness. Suggesting the left tone down their outrage is a manipulation pure and simple. It is unreasonable to suggest it is possible to sanitize the world in such a way that the mentally ill won't have any to "spark" on. Hate is hate, doesnt matter which side it's coming from, some of you would do well to re-read your own words and take a look in the mirror.
