Regardless, the political climate in America has become insidious and abhorrent. Many radicals in the right wing movement are so far detached from rationality that they are indistinguishable from anarchist leftists. I think his politics have no barring, other than he is mentally ill.
ReplyDeleteJust as mentally ill are those commentators and politicians who have encouraged such a violent act implicitly or otherwise.
David,
ReplyDeleteI regularly read your posts, but this is the first time that I have commented.
Ths is a shocking attack on US Democrcy.
But as an Australian I am amazed that a modern society like the US allows privte citizens to own hand guns.
I don't know anyone who owns any guns at all, and that is one of the reasons why I feel safe in Australian cities.
It looks like the US has allowed the genie out of the bottle and it will be impossible to restrict the use of guns in US.
That is a truly frightening prospet for Anericans.
