Oh, give it a rest. Have you really seen anybody--not just me, anybody--try to justify any of the shootings, even the politicians?

Of course not.

No, in the minds of Barak and more than a few other anarchists this evil is not evil at all.

The shooter is an evil man who did an evil thing. The reasons he did it are of only academic interest. He should be handed over to his victims and their families; beyond that what happens to him should be between them and him.

Lots of drama there.

My objective is self governance, although when I say it I mean "governing myself" rather than "having politicians govern me."
