How often does an apolitical person's comment include a reference to a political district? |

The majority of people, who reside in District-8 are illiterate - hilarious. I don't control your English grammar structure, but you control your English grammar structure.

14. Unabomber Ted Kaczynski's manifesto was 1000 times more political |
|

16. That completely misses the point |
|
No one was trying to claim that the Unabomber was apolitical, and he didn't shoot a member of Congress.
The OP doesn't make any mention of instigation. It's simply an observation.

Answer, no I don't.

And why go to a political "greet and meet," ask to speak to a politician (Ms. Giffords), told to get back in line by one of the attendants, and then proceed to shoot up the place, making sure one of your victims is a politician. Heck, if he just wanted to kill for the sake of good old-fashioned killing, why not go to a Home Depot, university/school, post office, fast-food establishment, or rooftop of a building. You know...the usual places. Why go to a political event to unleash your murderous demons?
It's both amazing (but not unexpected) and insulting what the so-called "mainstream media" wants us to believe. Looks like America has it's own version of "untouchables," and they are republicans/conservatives.

That if anybody is offended by my screen name, understand it has nothing to do with yesterday's tragic and deadly events. Most readers of African-American literature will know from whence the name originates. I'm certainly not trying to be insensitive.

It would definitely indicate political awareness to some degree. I never hear people that are not political refer to geographical areas by congressional district.
Good catch.
