Lindy. You act as if there is only one moment to stop these folks. You've read the stories about how he should never have been able to get the guns, right? Ok. There's one point at which some people would be stopped- if the system in place actually worked the way it should. If the mental health professionals had treated and monitored the patient properly- another point where he could be stopped. Bullying seems to create these types of people; reduce that and you reduce their creation. Change the commitment laws, make it more easy to keep people on 48, 72 and extended holds. This can be done consistent with civil liberties, I think.

ALL of these have the potential to stop the causal chain, but your post implies only one solution. Very uncreative.

ROFL

your research skills continue to astound- not a "peep" from the NYT?

nytimes.com

I did check that one, Lindy, but since you don't like the gray lady I mentioned Yahoo and Reuters. :-) Again- you state things as if they were facts, and you are completely wrong.

"BTW. An AP story on Yahoo is not "all over the MSM." The NYT,WaPo, and all three nets ran extensive stories when Murtha leaked the Haditha story. Not a peep in any one of them of the reversal."

Really, you make it all too easy for me.
