8. I read what he had to say and it seemed like other rants I've seen. |
|
Can anger over policies drive a person crazy?

2. Our gun control laws were effective at preventing a convicted felon from getting real ones |

7. Curious where that news came from? |
|
Not doubting you, just haven't seen or heard that yet. And didn't find any stories on web yet.

I know this guy was looney tunes but it sounds to me like maybe he really didn't want to kill anyone.
Of course I don't know how lethal the "bombs" he was carrying were. That might change my opinion.
Maybe I shouldn't say this but first of all I'm glad no innocent people died just for that reason alone.
But there was a part of me thinking if there had been deaths other than his own Beck, Hannity, O' Reilly, Limbaugh, etc would've been using him forever as an example of a liberal terrorist. Like see, domestic terrorists don't just come from the RW nuts & what we say.

14. Starter pistol or real, the police have to ASSUME a displayed weapon is the real thing |
|
Suicide by cop.
My opinion.

20. He terrorized the people who he took as hostages |
|
and a goodly number of the folks in that building.
He and that guy who flew the plane into the IRS office were cut out of the same frayed cloth, if I'm going to be consistent, I'm going to say that they're both whackos, and not really egged on by some political philosophy or its' proponents.

21. Too bad he put those hostages in danger of being shot by the cops. |
|
If he had simply wanted to commit suicide by cop, he could have done that without taking hostages.

22. "Don't know what to think about this." |
|
....I think he's just more 'collateral damage' from a political system that renders left-of-center people impotent....
