Shooter hates government. Thinks police are unconstitutional. Connect the dots. This guy may have been mentally unstable but he's also your run of the mill anti-Semitic militia hater, imo.

4. True, but like Loughner they were completely organized in their killing.

2. Could it be related to Beck?
Afterall, he had that and also the Communist manifesto. Hitler was a virulent anti-communist.

3. One of Beck's few remaining advertisers is for "investing in gold" ...
and the shooter was talking about the gold standard ... like Ayn Rand ...

8. Run of the mill anti-Semitic militia types are mentally unstable
People who spout off crazy conspiracies, be it the birthers or the death panelists, should all be looked at as mentally unstable and not given a public platform to spew their venom.
This form of mental instability is contagious, as we have seen with the rise in fame of some of the most unstable i.e. Palin/Beck/etc.
As I have been posting all over the place, I think they present a treat to our Constitutional Right to peaceful assembly and should be physically removed from public gatherings.
